The victim presented absolutely no threat that would justify the use of lethal force. At best, the officer is incompetent, a coward, and unfit for duty. At worst, he's a trigger happy psycho who just wanted to shoot something. Regardless of intentions, however, he committed a crime by firing his weapon and he should be held accountable.

Based on what we know, I agree with all of this except the nasty name calling if he made a mistake and of course the last assertion, due to simple ignorance (on my part). What law has he violated as an officer?
