I think the lesson here is not to run away from the cops
They just might shoot you in the back
If this ass clown turned out to be a mass murderer instead of a regular gibsmedat lowlife, the cop would be a hero..
I beg to differ, I think the lesson here is that when there’s no threat to the LEO, the LEO doesn’t shoot first (eight shots in the back??) and ask questions later about who it was they shot.

The cop already knew he was not a mass murderer, that he was delinquent on child support.
I haven’t spoken to a single cop (I have some in the family) who believes this shooting was in any way justified. He wasn’t running from a crime, they had already checked and found that all he had was just a warrant on him for failure to pay child support and, while he had a record of minor (mostly traffic related) arrests, he was certainly not “America’s most wanted.” Even if he had been, cops are trained not to shoot when the person is running away unless he somehow presents an immediate threat to them or somebody else (he’s armed and turning around to shoot at them, for example).
This cop violated his training and even elementary common sense, and a perhaps somewhat dysfunctional but harmless person is dead now.

Yes, if they have no clue how to do their job.

Irrelevant in this situation. The victim was not a mass murderer.
The police don’t share your view, once they saw the video, it went from routine, to them filing murder charges against him.
