Does anybody have an image of the fight/struggle/altercation that occurred right before the shooting?
There are photos of the taser wire.
All that and the video, are all available if you google it.
You should watch the video.
I read that the fleeing criminal had grabbed the cop’s taser and the cop knocked it away. I see in the photo above that there is something near the cop’s foot on the ground as he fired.Might not be the taser.Even if it is, the fleeing criminal does not appear to be a threat to the cop at the time he fired. Two things for sure: One, the criminal is a lowlife dirtbag and two, the cop is going to have a hard time ‘splainin five to the back to a jury.
The “Perp” had not been charged with a crime, had not in fact committed a crime and obviously was no longer a threat to anybody. He did wrestle with a cop trying to subdue him with a taser, what cops laughing call “riding the wire”, but who wouldn't try to stop the punishment being meted out illegally by a cop with a tazer.
The cop picked up the taser and placed it at the feet of the victim/perp after he killed him to make it look like he had a reason to shoot him.
This cop deserves what he will get in prison. I don't imagine he will make it two years before they get to him and murder him there.
The cop made a horrible mistake. I suspect if he had to do it all over again he wouldn't make that mistake. Cops are given a lot of power and authority in our culture, for that however they have to be held to a higher standard than you or me.
I haven't decided if I feel sorry for the cop or not but I do believe he will spend the rest of his life in prison and I also believe he deserves it.

Why would that matter except to provide a motive for the murder?
