Was that shooting justified?
The police chief has resigned, the officer has been fired and his partner suspended.

The B/A was administered; he blew .108; cuffs were being put on and that’s when the perp decided to do something really stupid - resist and grab the Officer’s taser.
When he turned and fired it towards the Officer, all the rules changed and deadly force was justified. They need to learn that if they point a weapon, they will get shot.
