I wasn't there. I wasn't a witness to the event. I have no idea as to how much time the officer had or didn't have to react in any other way. But, I do know that this has become an every day happening somewhere in this country, and there has to be some accountability on the part of cops. It has become open season on unarmed citizens, and some as young as toddlers, and some as old as 92. Some are mentally challenged, some are disabled, and some are homeless and destitute. Cops are killing people every single day claiming self-defense, fearing for their safety, or other excuses. Cops shot a toddlers and claimed it was an accident when shooting at someone else. Cops shot a 12 year old boy playing with a toy gun in a park, cops shot a 92 year old lady while in her own home because they broke in and later found out they had the wrong address ( Lithia Springs, Georgia ). Cops shot a homeless man while at least 5 or 6 cops were wrestling with him and the victim was on the ground when shot ( video on the internet showing the entire event ). Cops shoot and ask questions later. It has become the norm. No excuse, none.Another unarmed man killed by a cop. This victim was naked. Also the victim was mentally unstable.

No pepper spray, no taser, no nothing except a bullet, two bullets to the body. No call for back up, just another cop shooting an unarmed man.
Yet, so many are quick to defend cops when these things happen, and they happen every day all across this nation. These trigger happy cops need to be stopped. It's open season on unarmed citizens in this country.
It was a suspicious person call. The cop shows up and the guy charges him.
In what world does that leave time for back up to be called?
And you have to remember,when cops go on a call by themselves they wont be using a tazer because they dont always work and you sure as hell dont want the guy tackling the cop and taking his gun.
You appear to live in some kind of fantasy world where cops are Supermen.
And I'm sure you realize that in most states this is a legal shoot even for a civilian.
It isnt happening anymore than it always has. It's the leftwing media and the obama whitehouse along with holder making a big deal out of it.
