That cop who shot the dude with the taser was put in a really tough spot. 3 seconds before he shot the guy he was in a fight for his life. I cant imagine the adrenaline flowing through you after that. To expect a cop to be wound down enough 3 seconds after winning his life (for the time being) to not pull the trigger when the guy turns around to shoot you with a taser is a lot to expect. Also imagine the presidence that would set to put a cop in jail for murder for killing a guy who was trying to kill him. Every violent criminal who ever encountered a cop just as well try to kick the shit out of him instead of go to jail. No fewer of death. Just simply try to kill the cop until he gets the upper hand, then throw your hands in the air.
The crazy thing is that guy did all that shit and all he had to do to live is keep running without turning around to shoot the cop. He maybe didn't do enough to "deserve to die". But if you drive a car 150 miles an hour and die in a crash, you didn't deserve to die either. But you did put yourself into a position where death was highly likely.
Good thing for everyone else the prosecutor disagrees with your opinion and is charging him with murder.
