Was the office in danger when he fired his weapon?
On a related note I don't know about you but I always seem to have difficulties placing my hands behind my back after I have been shot in the back and am dying.....but that's just me.

Curious, why was this guy grabbing for the officers stun gun? I got pulled over on Easter Sunday on my way home from riding and it never once crossed my mind to grab the officers gun or stun gun..
edit: watched the vid a few times. The scuffle is due to the taser being shot. The victim never had the stungun. Dirty ass cop plants the taser next to him to make his actions right....

I don't really care what al or jesse thinks. They are just as much of the problem as anyone who defends this officer.
The charges need to be adjusted as needed to show that his officer made a bad decision. Not something that isn't going to stick and let him walk.
Just my .02 cents.

Where d'you get that from? It's not been off the news here with endless outrage. Maybe, if "no one seems concerned" in America, then that's just your culture.
I wonder how many other times this cop did wrong and lied about it.
And yes Ice Ice Baby, this one is worth protesting about.
Who really knows what happened in the previous cases.
Body mounted go-pros for all cops and this shit stops overnight, and the real bad guys (whoever they may be) can no longer hide behind lies.
Like others have mentioned, why were they this far away from the car on a traffic stop for a broken tail light?
Why do unarmed black men continue to feel the need to struggle with and/or run from the police when they are pulled over or questioned?
This doesn't justify what the cop did but if you don't run from the cops, or punch the cops and you just comply then you probably aren't going to get shot by the cops.
officer? Then he picked up after planting it. must of figured out he didn't have the guy's finger prints on it.
DEATH PENALTY
Pit Row
Officer was 100% wrong based on the video. But had the suspect not run or struggled with the officer in the first place, probably a different end scenario.
PalerBlue, I disagree. In cases where no video evidence is available, you have to go on the evidence. The Ferguson deal, the evidence supported the officer's story. The witness accounts were fabricated as they were inconsistent from story to story, and didn't support the evidence. In this story, being shot in the back from a distance, there wouldn't be much hope for this officer without the video.
Also, the media is quick to portray this man as an unarmed father of four. The douchebag had warrants out for his arrest for not paying child support. That kind of makes him "not" a father in my eyes. And about that unarmed comment, who is to say the cop didn't consider him armed when the taser was wrestled away. Why did the guy run from a simple traffic stop? He fled so the cop may have not known he was the legal owner of the vehicle. Legal owners typically don't run from a traffic stop. He could have stolen the car and robbed a bank for all the cop knew. Why did he wrestle with the cop? If the cop caught his ass, he could have simply surrendered and been taken to jail and lived to tell about it. Attacking a cop ranks right up there with attacking my kids. There is a good possibility that wouldn't end well either.
Like Jmar stated, charging the officer with murder right off the bat wasn't a good move. Good possibility he could walk from that. The mayor is just trying to buy some time and hold off another Ferguson. Business owners better start gearing up and checking insurance policies for riot coverage. Shit is going to hit the fan soon.
Taken from Wikipedia.
Information about the traffic stop and shooting will eventually come out so I will not speculate but just from the video, it's hard to see anything that resembles a threat to the officer or others.
The kid lived. No charges filed against the cop.
There is an immense burden of proof needed to convict a cop.
Scary to think that honest hardworking family oriented and responsible non delinquent taxpayers are typically gun owners? Think about how stupid that makes you look for a moment.
Trollers gonna troll.... carry on buddy.
This guy beeds to be made an example.
I'm with vanilla, this needs protesting.
thank god there's video.
You know how they let OJ go, mostly so there wouldn't be a repeat of the LA riots? They're going to burn this guy for the same (opposite) reason; to avoid a violent uprising.
Too bad there was no video of Zimmerman shooting. That was a first thing I thought when I saw this video.
I don't know how they got from the store to the park. I do believe the cop was completely in the wrong in gunning him down. It makes it worse that he moved the tazor. It's the missing time from the store to the struggle in the park that will play heavily on the outcome of it all. Unfortunately we will only have the cops side of the story of what happened during that time.
Like others have said if there was no video evidence this thing would be completely different.
