Guy running away. Cop opens up. I still see a problem for the cop here. At no point does the cop look like he’s in a kind of trouble that indicates deadly force being necessary.

Yes, but according to the Supreme Court, police can shoot fleeing suspects under certain circumstances even if there is no apparent danger to the cop. If the guy assaulted the cop, which it looks like he did, this might give the cop legal leeway in court.

That does not mean I think the cop was justified in shooting the guy. But things are a lot murkier now.

If I got in a struggle with a cop after being ordered to surrender, and then got the cops tazer and tazed him, then I started running away, should I be surprised if the cop shoots me? I think not.

The boot lickers will never admit that...
