cop's saying the guy took his taser and shot him with it, evidence still looks pretty daming either way

Even if that is the case, the cop shouldn't have shot the victim. Tasers are rarely fatal. The policemen should have chased the victim and caught him instead of just shooting him. I believe they receive training for these sort of incidents before they join the police force.

One thing I don't understand is, why shoot the guy 8 god damn times. Even if he did have a taser, which he did not. I watched the video and Jamba is right the cop plants the taser on him. But seriously the guy is running away, if you did have to shoot why not leg him or shoot him once? Why unload a clip into the guy? Even if he had a taser the guy is like 25+feet and running wouldnt a single shot do the job?

Either he's a racist, hothead, or sociopath. He wanted that guy dead. It was straight up murder and he tried to get away with it by planting the taser by the victim's side.

Ideally, he should have chased him on foot or called for additional backup. The guy was old and heavy; he was not moving very fast when he was shot.

The worst part of it all is, we have been paying this psychos paycheck to kill and imprison us, were going to pay for the civil case and the millions this guys family recieves(deserved), were going to pay millions for the court case and on top of that if he is convicted were going to pay atleast a million jailing the guy.

Well the worst part is there is a dead guy and another life destroyed, everything else is just money and can be replaced.

If you watch the video closely after he shoots him he walks away, then comes back and plants the taser on the vicitm,

This is flat out murder, it really makes you wonder about all those times police say it was self defense when they blast another guy.

Im glad they charged him but it will be suprising if the charges stick.

There has been plenty of cases of cops doing severe crimes and beating then being aquitted.

I'm sure the cop would say anything to cover his ass, shooting that guy running away in the back is one of the most cowardly things I've ever seen. There's no way the cop could have felt threatened it that situation, at very most he could have fired just a warning shot.

The worst part is if the bystander didn't come forward with the video, this cop would have gotten away with murder. He was only charged because video showed his version of the events to be fabricated.

Body cams. Every cop, no exceptions.

Suddenly I am feeling lucky that I'm living a country where guns have been banned, there are many reason that U.S can't ban the guns, but the truth is guns do bring harm.

In your country cops do not have guns? How lucky you are...

but that man was running away, why shoot him in the back instead to chase him or shoot on the leg? This is the insane "mind" of the us policeman.

So they are trained, but in this case there wasn't necessary to shot a man (in the back). He could shoot on the leg, and conclude the story with a simple arrest but all we know that the us police are thinking "I'm a hero".

Unfortunate incident. The cop had decades of experience in the police force with him. But a few seconds of misjudgment has resulted in the loss of one life.

Than "the emotion" shouldn't involve when you are at the work, and the policemen work is very important in the community. The worth of a life is priceless.

How about he could have just ran behind him for 2 minutes and kicked him to the ground? Like in those 70's movies? Or is that not done these days?

The arrestant was 50 years old, the cop was in his 30's. Not much of a competition...

Exactly, where is the emotion, the "action".... it was better to chase him instead "kill" him, isn't it?

They're still human beings their decisions can be still flawed by emotions and egos thus they can still make stupid things.

Always in us, the land of freedom and equality or am I wrong? They are only poor bastards,? If the police wanted he could stop him without an useless kill (he could shoot in the leg for example).

Police are trained to shoot at the center of mass. They repeat it over and over until it's reflex. Once that cop made up his mind to shoot, the bullet was going to the center of mass.

So they are trained, but in this case there wasn't necessary to shot a man (in the back). He could shoot on the leg, and conclude the story with a simple arrest but all we know that the us police are thinking "I'm a hero".

I was just watching this on the news and then I see this. Kind of disappointing to see something like this again. You guys can see the video here: https://vimeo.com/124336782

This again. It's sad to see yet another shooting ... there's got to be a better way for sure. But the damage is already done now, again.

If that isn't enough to tell you these gun control advocates are full of shit, there was that incident in Norway with Breivik, where were the men with guns to save people then? In that situation I'd be happy for a just a 9mm so I can at least have a chance and I don't even touch gun really.

Imagine what would have happened if at least 1% of the 400+ people in the Utøya island at that time were armed with guns. No more than 3 or 4 people would have lost their lives. Definitely not 77.

In a place where everyone is armed, a single person won't be able to mow down 77 people. And in Utøya, not even the policemen were armed. The results are for everyone to see.

And then people for gun control will tell you but all the accidents people will have with guns would just get people killed, but that's what training is for in my opinion, yeah, this is why these psychopaths go after unarmed people and not military bases, it's not coincedental.

You can measure how much contempt a government has for it's people by how willing they are to rush to the defence of their citizens.
