Looks like the “Gentle Giant” scenario in reverse. Twenty or more feet from the officer and retreating.

Shooting a suspect in the back fifty feet away is a “good shoot”?

Nah. Back-shooting is all the rage these days.
Had one in Tacoma recently. Cop is back on duty.

If I’ve learned anything about these types of incidents I will wait for a lot more info to emerge before I make some sort of judgement about whether the cop was wrong or not.

If that were all there were to it, the cop would not be charged with murder.
Obviously, the cop caused the altercation, and the victim was only defending himself.

Looks like he tased, fought with and shot the wrong old man. Scott even had the taser and was going to use it on the cop...maybe could have used it to get his weapon. ...another episode of the untouchables.

The cop lied about the circumstances surrounding the shooting,
...
What’s your source for that claim?

If the guy was white, it would have been a good kill

I make some sort of judgement about whether the cop was wrong or not.I always ask myself if it was me, or Joe "Citizen" who did what the cop did, what would be the outcome....

Why would you run from the cops over a simple traffic stop for a non-working tail light?No, the better and more pertinent question, is why in the hell a cop thinks that running away from a traffic stop for a non-working tail light is an executable offense?
I'm pro-law enforcement, but this is stupidity on the part of the cop and it is MURDER!
Period.

Have not watched the video....however....this incident was not over just because the driver/suspect began to run away.
Someone has to eventually capture said criminal....the one who tried to taser the officer per his article.
Stats also show a suspect who attacksnthe diisengages, reengages roughly 80% of the time.
This is additional info to chew on while reviewing the video.

He probably “Turned and reached for his waistband”
That usually works
