Even if he did assault the officer does that justify shooting a fleeing man in the back?

I agree that the man is not innocent, but just because you are guilty of a crime doesnt mean you are fair game for police execution.

e/

No the running man is not an active threat, the police officer should persue until such a time as he can safely take down the suspect, or the suspect become and active threat and justifes the use of lethal force.

as they are trained and paid to do.

you said it yourself though

e/ Also Amount of shots is irrelevant, cops are trained not to draw their weapon unless they have already deemed it necessary to stop the target with lethal force, the tests for which are active and present threat to the officer or another person.
Once you draw weapon, you have deemed that the target requires lethal force and you aim to kill. Target centermass for least risk of strays. Shoot until threat eliminated.

guy ran from a routine stop into a park assaulted the officer trying to get his tazer then runs away isnt a threat to people becasue hes running away unarmed? the dude tried to arm himself as far as im concerned

LOL no, read what i said before. He is not innocent, and he should be arrested and tried for whatever he has done.
But he shouldn't be executed because the cop is unable to detain a fleeing suspect without the unjustified use of lethal force.

god man you really should lock yourself in a room and throw away the key. Just to ensure that you don't put the ideas in your head to action.

Some people honestly don't deserve an opinion.

spitz, how ive missed you

Wow. I can't believe this guy is defending shooting a fleeing guy in the back.

we dont know the story though, do we? just saw it happend on reddit but didnt bother reading

drago got a valid point though, if i shoot someone, then i flee, does that mean the cop is not allowed to shoot me?

I FUKIN DID IT BOYS

IT TURNS ON
