“...the officer shot the man while he was running away.”
“It was a very violent encounter...”
The man’s back musta scared hell outta the cop.
Just because you are running away at that moment doesn’t mean the cop can’t engage.....
The guy “armed” himself with a gun against the cops warning....was he running for cover to engage the cop further? Was he an immediate threat to the rest of the community....If the answer to either question was a “yes” then the shoot was fully justified.....
