If the dead guy had a history of lawbreaking or other anti-social or destructive behavior I *might* consider it possible that this was,in fact,a justified shooting.

If a really bad guy runs from a cop it's OK to shoot him dead?

If a really bad guy runs from a cop it's OK to shoot him dead?

Do you have a fertile enough imagination to picture various things that a "really bad guy" might have done *before* the camera started rolling?

Hand ups,don't shoot!

“If a really bad guy runs from a cop it’s OK to shoot him dead?”

If you’re a police officer you will usually have about three seconds to figure that out. A wrong choice will mean you don’t go home again or that someone else will be in danger. The law used to have a public servant’s back because of the nature of the job. That’s history now. It’s no longer about the public welfare. It’s all about votes, politics and social engineering.
