Between all of the videos of this incident that I’ve seen this individual was executed. This cop was not in fear for his life. As a person who the press seems to require a lot of training for a CCW license citing the Police requirements, this is an outrage. As a citizen this would be a no-brainer murder. All of the JBT supporters can pile on but this guy deserves his time in prison or more.

Even if there was a fight, and the citizen grabbed the cop's taser, and the cop got beat up a bit, I don't see how the officer will ever reach the Garner v. Tennessee criteria. He would have to believe that this guy was going to harm some other individual or policeman to meet the deadly force requirement.

This is going to go very badly for him. He is already charged and fired, so the dead guys family will easily crush him in a lawsuit. Since he was fired he will be paying for his own defense. Even with liability insurance, most cops only carry $1 million, his family will be losing everything. He won't get the death penalty, but he will be spending a long time in prison with people that don't like cops.
