Once he’s running away what does it matter? He wasn’t armed and he wasn’t endangering anyone at that time.Fleeing violent felons can be shot. It's called the Fleeing Felon Rule. I don't think that applies here, but it is a standard policy.

Your fleeing felon claim does not apply here.
The man was not a threat to the cop or anyone else.
The cop has been charged with murder because the video surfaced two days after the “routine” shooting, and the minute it did, his lawyer quit the case.

I agree it doesn’t apply here. That rule/policy is intended for use with dangerous people who will go out and hurt other people unless they are stopped.
Expired tags not so much.

That varies by state. Do you know what the SC law is?
