I couldn’t get the video to load (not surprising, given that my computer was made in the 1950s).

Did the suspect have his hand on the cop’s taser? And did the cop yell for the suspect to let go of the taser?

As I noted earlier, I’m not pro-police anymore. But if the answer to either of those questions is yes, it would seem to me that cop was in fear for his life. A taser can, of course, incapacitate someone. And then after that, the cop loses control of his gun. Game over.

“Did the suspect have his hand on the cop’s taser? And did the cop yell for the suspect to let go of the taser?”

The perp pushed the taser away with his hand twice to avoid being tased. The cop dropped the taser and they wrestled to the ground after that, (I think the taser can only be fired twice, no positive on that one). Anyway, neither seemed to go for the taser. The cop was on the perp’s back, the perp was on the ground, prone. The cop had his weight on the perp, one arm around him, and drew his weapon with the free arm. Then, at point blank range shot the perp in the back of the head.

You hear the officer repeatedly yell during the struggle, “Let go of the taser!”.

If he had beef tasted, the perp could have grabbed his pistol and the office would presumably be dead today.
