No, they put the boots to him as best they could, under the circumstances, because the coward gave-up! Instead of putting-up a fight to the death, the chicken-sh*t surrendered!

They should suspend this guy, with pay, to determine if it was a righteous shooting. That's what they would do if the cop had shot him.
