It wouldn't be such a bad thing if later this shooting is justified. I am just concerned about the number of shots that were fired after the suspect went down and was no longer a threat. Below is a Dash cam video of a Seattle Police Officer shooting a knife wielding suspect. Notice how the suspect rushes hard at the Officer. The Officer retreats just to draw his weapon and get some distance and fires THREE fatal shots. To me this is a text book shooting. Skip the beginning if you want and just go to 1.20 about the time the altercation begins.

so while i've changed my opinion on the use of force given what's coming out now, he did seem to forget the training police typically get in the heat of the moment and fire too many rounds. they'll try to use that against him at trial.
