Man in wheelchair fatally shot 9 times by Tucson police officer

Bodycam footage starts about 1 minute in.

Mrgunsngear put this up on his Instagram.  Said the officer has been fired.  Not sure if anything else will be done, but I think it just happened yesterday.  I thought it was a good video to share.  Not quite a murky as recent shootings in the news.

Displaying a knife will get the attention of police, but it appears he was pretty fast on the trigger.

I watched the video.  There is no way in hell that shooting was justified.

The cop should have just shot him in the leg to stop him.

 To good at all.

One has to ask though, did the cop think he needed to shoot to keep him from going into the store to protect others in Lowes?

In the officer's defense, the Tueller drill only established the safe distance for an able-bodied opponent. These sneaky, wheelchair-wielding criminals - who knows how fast they can get to you?! No wonder he feared for his life.

Shot his tires?  Deployed a spike strip?
