South Carolina Officer Is Charged With Murder in Black Man’s Death

[Zeke]

If the officer felt threatened for his life or believed there was undue threat to the public at large?

Then this was the right call.

You can hate the law, you can even say he made a poor decision, but the ONLY damning factor here is moving the Taser.

If he hadn't done that and stuck to his (proverbial) guns while offering medical aid?

Then he'd -- appropriately -- walk.

The issue here is the officer's lack of commitment to his argument not his action of firing.
