There is nothing in any of the videos of this incident that justified shooting the man. The cop was not in immediate danger and nobody else was either.
They could have caught him later on and added a further charge of running from the police.
Stupid to run.
Stupid to shoot.
Stupidity all around.
I think the cop thought Scott had his stun gun and then tried to cover his Ass when he found it where they had the physical Altercation. It wasn’t a good shoot, but he pretty much screwed himself when he planted the stun gun.
