I can agree with you they all seem to run. Why?

I have to ask why? while other cops who shot black men in the back while running away get away with murder.

Another needless fatality. Why didn't the guy just follow the officers directions? He'd still be alive today if he had. According to the report in the link, the officer had called in and reported that the man appeared to have "mental health issues".

I am guessing Mental Illness! The cop was in no danger no bystanders were in danger, Does he not have a Taser or a Baton? Hang the bast*rd! |

I would hate to be a policeman you are damned if you do and damned if you don't! People need to wear shirts saying Don't Run! nkat |

I actually think that this situation is a combination of a number of factors. The young policemen was only six months out of the police academy and he appears to have been alone, without a partner. The dead man had been doing serious damage to several cars using his fists and feet. He appeared to be in some sort of rage that had no obvious reason - it could have been an ice induced episode or some other psychological state. This was happening just outside an amusement park where presumably there would have been families with children. He needed to be stopped.
The enraged man first walks away, the turns and walks towards the officer who has ordered him to the ground. This does not happen. Then shots are fired.
On this occasion I think I would cut the young policeman some slack. He should not have been there on his own to begin with IMO.
