I don’t know at what point the officer saw him run. My point is there should be a clear policy for allowing deadly force when someone is fleeing the police. That policy was not in place at the time this happened so it isn’t relevant to this incident.
The dashcam video is out there and there's the map on the blog that opened this thread. So if the police should be free to shoot fleeing suspects then should the officer have shot at him immediately, the moment he started running from the car?
