The article posted above states that a stun gun was used. Did Scott get the stun gun? Would he have used it to get the policeman’s weapon? Who knows?
With regards to outcomes of many other recent incidents, looks like the policeman shot a VIP just the same.
The worry for what could happen ended when Scott dropped the stun gun and ran. At that point he could not be reasonably considered dangerous. Rather than give chase the cop executed him, likely as revenge for the scuffle.
When a cop murders someone, I sure hope the city would treat the family with deference.
Watch the slow motion drop of the taser, beside Scotts body (caught on camera) ...
