In an "officer involved shooting" a cop has a very compelling reason to lie about whether he had a "reasonable fear" for his safety. When the evidence in most cases is the cop's statement and there is no standard of proof beyond that, the cop who murders someone walks.
We saw this in North Charleston where the murderer claimed self defense because his victim "grabbed my taser". Had it not been for the citizen video he would have gotten away with it...... [i]even though a fellow officer actually witnessed the killer drop the taser next to the body.
