I endorse the killing of violent criminals attempting to evade justice, correct.
Two kids get into a fight. They are both 12 years old. One beats the crap out of the other. He's broken the law ( criminal ) and has been violent. Should he be shot and killed by police if he tries to evade capture ?
Of course, two to the back of the head, job done *dusts hands*
Also think of the savings, 2 x 9mm or the hassle and expense of a trial, imprisonment etc....why bother?
For the record I'm not defending the police officer, but neither am I condemning him on the basis of a bystander video that may or may not tell the whole story.
You're trolling.
He is running away, whether or not he had the tazer doesn't matter at that point, he was running away and in no way an immediate threat.
You can see that on the video, you don't need to know what happened before.
Much like if an armed suspect drops their gun, it doesn't matter they had a gun before, now they do not (I know in America this still means shoot them anyway)

lol. You're funny. Maybe we can meet up sometime and have a beer. Chat about religion, philosophy, politics or why snails have shells and slugs don't.
An unfit 50 year old man, unarmed, with one previous charge over 25 years ago, exhibiting no violent behavior, bumbling away at walking pace due to fear of imprisonment for debt should not be shot 8 times in the back at centre mass.

If they attacked the police officer, yes.
Why did he get into a scuffle with the police officer in the first place? You're meant to obey police. Had he done so, he'd probably be alive today.
well it is a good job the law doesn't, cop has been charged with murder
Thanks. We all know what kind of person you are now.

Most of the high-profile cases in the US over the last few years have involved people resisting arrest. You'd be a fool to resist arrest in the US given that fact.

to get away from him, maybe he's on probation or has previous convictions and faces a lengthy jail sentence and it seemed like it was worth a shot
the fact that he'd get into a scuffle to get away from a cop placing him under arrest doesn't imply he's an immediate threat to anyone else to the point where he needs to be gunned down immediately
if we were going to take that action as being reasonable then why not just shoot on sight any known violent criminals as soon as they''re spotted and start running?
I think American police training propaganda states, don't aim, just fire many bullets and some will hopefully hit somewhere.
Given the nature of how he was shot and that immediately after the shooting the cop planted evidence instead of trying to save the guys life doesn't instill much confidence that the cop wouldn'tve shot him irrespective of resisting or not.
Legs move when you're running. So are quite hard to hit. Torsos and heads tend to stay in a more static position. Relative to the shooter that is.
Plus...America. Durgh.

Once they leave the academy, many US police officers never receive further/refresher firearms training unless they join a SWAT team.

The Officer Down Memorial Page reports 127 deaths in the line of duty. The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund counted 126 federal, state, local, tribal and territorial officers killed.
I Wonder how many officers were killed by black vs white criminals ??
