I am not a cop but I am going to guess he didn’t...

uh, duh.

But he didn’t just straight up murder him for no reason.

i'm not having a hard time understanding what you're saying. i just think that's utter bullshit.

Murder is the unlawful killing of another human without justification or valid excuse, especially the unlawful killing of another human being with malice aforethought.

what valid excuse did he have to shoot? what justification? he scared the shit of this guy crawling towards him?

that is totally murder.

the reason police keep murdering people and getting away with it is because no one convicts cops for some fucked up reason.

America - the only country where mass shootings and police killings occur on a regular basis, but there's nothing we can do to prevent it. we're number 1!

i'll say it again - pathetic.
