It was murder. Premeditated.

That is gonna be crazy hard to prove.

There have been so many conclusions jumped to in this story, and I have hardly followed it. I have heard that he planted evidence by moving what they think is the taser. This looked like a park or something. If the guy ended up 50 feet away, the cop should secure his taser (or back-up gun) and not leave it laying around, unless the scene was secure (which it wasnt).

I don't see how this was a justified shooting, but there is a lot I don't know. We know we already had a chase, I have no idea how long that went on. Then a physical confrontation. Again, we don't know any details, but we do have video of the last seconds of some sort of confrontation - a fight? an argument?

A lot we don't know yet.

Hard to prove.....yep, probably, but if I were on a jury, one viewing of that video and the deliberate care I saw of an unheated pursuit and 8 cold shots in a clear aiming stance would tell me it was. He’s lucky I won’t be on his jury.

Hey! Stop doing that. Most Freepers here do not need anymore evidence than the first video clip. Actual evidence? Be damned.
