Two questions come up with this with me:
1. There was no mention of black or white being in question throughout the article so I begin to wonder, if he was white, would he have been shot?
2. I read a few articles on this and found that the he was shot actually one time because they mentioned “the”bullet that hit him. According to the articles, there were three shots discharged. It took three shots to hit a man on the ground one time? The articles didn’t say if all three were from the same officer.
It was a big screw-up, but not intentional. Sounds more like a guy, or group, was scared, didn’t use proper weapon control. This or just plain stupid.
And I’ll bet you before the smoke clears, the feds will be in there mucking things up like usual.

Miami Herald reports one officer, three shots, one hit.
IIRC around 20% of shots hit the target.
WTH is “weapon control”? A gun is an inanimate object incapable of any autonomous action. It cannot move a millimeter on its own. It cannot point itself and it cannot fire itself. This officer does not need better “weapon control” he needs better “self control”.
