No, I am not a cop, nor do I know too many where I'm being sympathetic to them. But I'd think most of these shootings wouldn't have happened if the suspect shut the f**k up, do as s/he's told, and then fight the issue later legally.
On topic: No, I do not think excessive force was needed. Why this officer didn't give chase and call for back up is beyond me. I've always wondered why non-lethal (rubber) rounds are not the standard. My understanding is that they hurt like hell and will incapacitate a person.

That is very true. When i'm talking to cops i don't give them any reason to escalate the situation. I know most cops are good people but there has been plenty of times when they have abused me with their stupid egos.
That's why i don't respect police. I respect USA and it's laws, i respect the Military but i do not respect these people who wear uniforms called Police.
