The law does not say that if you struggle with a police officer and then flee, the officer is free to shoot--in a parking lot with people, no less.

It might indeed be that "once you threaten an officers life, all bets are off," but that's the problem of police accountability that the current reform movement wants to address.

I am not worried about an "escalating burden" on an officer who has done this before. He should not be on the streets wearing a badge and a gun.

I have 0 idea how many times I can say this: Brooks was not shot for fleeing.
