This was flat out murder and it’s good to see a police department go after this for a change. Usually they just say the most horrible things are ‘justifiable’ and this absolutely wasn’t.
Anyone who sees the video can see that the police officers were in no danger when the first three shots were fired. Then, after the suspect was down the cop fired SIX MORE shots into him and as if that wasn’t enough, another cop TASERED the corpse!
It was sickening and I hope justice is done.

I think there’s definitely a case for manslaughter here, but 2-d murder would be hard to prove. The police are trained to shoot someone armed with a knife at the distance this guy was, but I can’t see any justification for the extra six shots and the taser.
