The cop's duty is the protect the community. An armed man running away from arrest, is a danger to the community and he was within his scope to shoot him.
I generally side with cops, but there are times when they exceed the scope of their authority. This doesn't appear to me to be one of those times.
Wow, what's that old saying... even a blind squirrel finds a nut from time to time.
Congratulations, that may very well be the smartest thing you've ever posted on CD.

Exactly. You don't know what this guy will do now that he is being chased. He might run into a house to hide and bring innocent people to risk.
The guy had a gun, 100% justified in being shot. Second guessing what occurred in a split second(less, actually) of an adrenaline fueled confrontation is pretty stupid.
Although in other encounters there have been panic fire situations where police empty their weapons into a person already on the ground or where no weapon was seen.
