I mean couldn't the other one have tased him?

Or they could pepper spray him, I'm pretty sure cops have that.

I agree that with the potential fast paced nature if it really seemed like it was a gun then it's a little different. Some of the images that come up do kinda look like guns.

I don't think this is an open and shut case, but it's hard to know if the information that comes out is what happened or some CYA at work.

It's not quite the same as a lot of the cases though if he did take one of their tasers. Although I question how he'd manage that without them noticing...

From looking at the phone footage it does look like the other cop did try to taser him but missed, at that point his back was towards the cops so pepper spray wouldn't have worked, and there was a bit of distance between them so it wouldn't have been as effective if at all with the likelihood is that the officers during the pursuit would've been the ones that would've been caught by the spray, not him. A few seconds later (looking at cctv footage) he turned and aimed the taser at the closest officer, it's then he was shot.

Whether people like it or not this is a justified shooting.
