Isn't this the same shooting that had the suspect/victim struggling with the cop over a taser as seen in video? (Hard to believe that this happened less than a year ago.)

Watched this video several times; did not ever see the suspect holding the taser as some claim. It always looked like the cop finally grew tired from wrestling, then pulled his weapon and shot the victim in the back of the head, while still on top of him.

Either way, he shot him point blank in the back of the head when he was no longer struggling with the suspect. He had the upper hand at the moment.

Yup. Tough to defend the ex-cop on this one. If you can press your gun right up against the back of someone's head, you can just as easily shift it 8" diagonally and shoot them in the very arm that is allegedly gripping your taser.
