They responded by shooting him eight times in the back as he ran away.

Cops are not as brave as they used to be. They used to actually have to see a gun before they could shoot. Now all they have to do is start firing. All cop shootings are justified these days. The eight shots were used so there would not be a witness.

The 25-year-old man jumped out of his car and pointed what the officers say they thought was a gun. They responded by shooting him eight times in the back as he ran away.

He ran a red light and the cops had to chase him down. He jumps out of his car and points an object that appears to be a gun (I can see how a small black cell phone pointed at someone could appear to be a gun barrel). The cops already yelled several warnings at him! Turns to flee and they shoot him while he is carrying what they think is a gun. What if he was running for cover to find a place to shoot at the officers? Also, you can not let an armed and dangerous suspect loose to treaten the general population. What if he left the scene and kill several innocent people? You would be screaming the cops were idiots for not stopping him!
