All the article said, is that he initially cooperated with the police when he was pulled over. It didnt say anything about him being disarmed until after he was shot, so the police obviously assumed he was armed when he fled.
And I’m good with a head shot, but dont think it was on purpose. If you have ever done stress drill involving moving and shooting, a head shot is not easy on a moving target. My best guess is a center mass shot that went high due to chasing the thug causing a higher resipitation rate. But yea, I’m still good with a head shot wardaddy.
Its a matter of personal opinion
I dont have the right to shoot someone running from me who is no longer a threat and I suggest you dont try it either or drag them back in the house
And assuming he got lucky at that short distance and hit him head shot is no offense a reach of wishful thinking
Even I ....a reasonable shooter could do it to that chubby Mexican kid....eight steps from the fence ...I counted em
One other factoid....and typical of cops post murder lies from Yuma AZ to Houston Texas
They cleared the cop at a hearing ..in Fresno Earlier by police review
But guess what ....They neglected to tell the public or the review jury they had the video you and I see now.....amazing
Btw..I defended the Fort Worth window shooter cop as more manslaughter than murder
I call,em like I see em and have myself on occasion resisted killing when it was easy and justified
So Im holding steroid lawman to the same standards I held myself to
