That may be the law, but this is still Texas. There have been worse shootings where the shooter has walked away. It has to get past a grand jury and then a jury to get a conviction. If the perp had stopped and dropped his gun, maybe the shooter would be charged, but I’d be really surprised.

If the law is there, it should be enforced. Otherwise why have a law. Why not just shoot someone because you didn’t like what they were doing?
The film clearly displays he violated the Castle Doctrine/stand your ground law. Even if he was a police officer, he still would have violated the law. You can’t shoot someone who is no threat at the time, especially when he was attempting escape with no threat. If he gets off, the court system failed the law. And that just makes it a free for all based upon opinion and not the law. Can of worms.
