He was walking back to his vehicle.

He was unarmed and not threatening anyone. If that's ground for shooting him then why did she wait so long?

Google Kyle Dinkheller about what can happen when the suspect gets back to his vehicle when the officer doesn't stop him from doing such.

What you are saying then is that in both cases the officer misread the situation resulting in a tragic outcome. In one case an unarmed suspect died for no reason. In the other a police officer was murdered in cold blood. Shouldn't both instances be viewed equally as tragedies? And shouldn't the person needlessly causing the death be prosecuted for it in both cases?

Situations can explode in no time at all. Walking away from the officer and towards his vehicle put the officer on edge. I'll wait for the trial for better evidence, but he wasn't just standing still in the road with his hands up.

Shouldn't both instances be viewed equally as tragedies?

Ever hear of the saying better judged by twelve instead of carried by six?
