I saw this also and was waiting to get more information, the video I saw was inconclusive.

It's a valid shooting by the officer. In the five screenshots from the video, the first two, on the officer's body cam clearly show that Lyoya is fighting to gain control of the Taser. The next two, from the passengers cell phone, show the struggle continue on the ground. The final photo, also from the cell phone, shows that Lyoya has gained control of the Taser, and is about a second before the officer shots Lyoya.

Capt Gregory Prickett This is why I was holding off on commenting on this one. This officer appears to be in a one on one struggle and I can easily see and understand why the officer (any reasonable officer) would be in fear for their life with the struggle over the taser.
The fact of the matter is, some police shootings are justified.

The LEO's will take up for each other no matter what. The penalties for bad policing need to get more extreme if we are to reduce bad policing in this country. There will be new LEO's to take the place of the LEO's who quit.

Capt Gregory Prickett - I wasn't commenting on this incident my friend. I was speaking just in general of the recent big stories involving LEO's that did have bad policing. I don't know what will come of this.
