Why didnt the cop call backup? Ive had backup called on me on more than one occasion for a simple traffic violation.
If the cop shot him in the back, then that is pretty much the deciding factor. I can see being enraged and shooting someone if they beat you up, but if they are running away from you and you shoot them in the back, I don't see any way possible that can be justified.
