You mistake me. I'm not asking you if it was a 'good shot' as in legal. I'm asking as in generically it was a great shot right? As in marksmanship.

To be able, under dire threat of death or worse, to pop off those rounds into the 51 year old black man's back.

I mean who can blame him for not wanting to chase after him. After all Charleston can get hot, even in early spring. As for letting the man go? No way. Just think of the humiliation he would receive from his fellow white officers for letting somebody in Child Support arrears get away.

But that kill shot. Oh that sweet kill shot. A nice pause to recenter the pistol, dramatic as it was professional. Presenting his profile to the target with pistol double cupped. Then squeezing out that beautiful kill shot. Jack Bauer couldn't have done better.

Wouldn't you agree? Great marksmanship under duress and imminent threat of bodily injury. Most would have probably just curled up into a ball and let the man run away 2 counties to get a gun to come back and shoot them.

I also found it very professional how he went back and retrieved the taser and planted it by the body, right in front of the 2nd officer. Almost makes the movie Magnum Force look historically accurate.
