Run from a cop and then fight a cop puts you in the odds of getting shot category. Had he not run this would never have happen.
Don’t direct it back just answer the question. let me help! Nobody but the suspect knew he was unarmed, the officer had no way of knowing. What the officer did know at the time of the shooting was he had a combative possibly armed felon trying to flee.
Had the cop not shot him in the back from a distance of 20 feet and greater none of this would have happened.

But again, if fleeing from a police officer is grounds for him to shoot Walter Scott then why not just shoot him the moment he started running at the original stop? Since the cop had no idea if he was armed then either?
