Nashville PD officer charged with criminal homicide

I am curious where the OT stands on this one. The officer shoots the guy in the back as he runs away with a gun in his hand. The officer gave the guy several verbal commands to drop the gun. Do old West rules apply? No shooting in the back. Or do you give him a chance to drop it and then blaze away? The family says it is "premeditated First Degree Murder" because the officer stopped and took the time to aim. The police union says the law allows you to shoot someone in the back if they are armed. What say the OT?
Unedited video - shooting is in first 18 seconds

A Nashville police officer caught on video shooting a man in the back as he ran away has been charged with criminal homicide.
Officer Andrew Delke was charged Thursday in connection with the July 26 shooting death of Daniel Hambrick, 25, according to an arrest warrant obtained by CNN. Delke's attorney said he plans to plead not guilty. Surveillance footage released last month by the Nashville District Attorney's Office shows Delke, 25, who is white, chasing Hambrick, who is black, until the officer aims his gun. Hambrick falls to the ground within seconds.
Delke said he saw Hambrick holding a gun and asked him to drop it as both men were running, the warrant states, adding that Delke said Hambrick did not drop his weapon. Authorities recovered a handgun from the scene, they have said. Hambrick's death has sparked outrage among residents and calls for more police accountability.

Running with a gun is still threatening.

First I see or hear of this incident. If the guy was running with the pistol and attempted to fire backwards, clean shoot.
If he was just running away, although I don't agree with it, he will be convicted.

He was a threat to other members of the public. Should have dropped the gun and followed commands.

Yeah I’m not sure what else they want the cop to do outside of just letting him run away.

If that's really the case, then this should be pretty cut and dry.

I've seen officers get away with a lot more than this shooting.
Surprised he was charged.

I can’t imagine how frustrating it must be to work in a profession that is in the wrong no matter what and a political movement that is completely against you.

This is a tough case. Both sides are going to have valid arguments to present.
I could easily argue for either side here.

We just had one in Dallas, nearly the same thing minus the gun.
Cop got a hung jury, I was rooting for the cop.
Screw these criminals

If the cop let's him go and the suspect kills someone else you know the city would be sued after they found out the cop let him go.

This seems to be covered by Supreme Court case Tennessee v. Garner
If the victim had a gun in his hand, it gets pretty easy to establish reasonable belief of immediate and significant threat of danger.
quote:
Tennessee v. Garner In Garner, the court held that when a police officer is pursuing a fleeing suspect, he or she may NOT use deadly force to prevent escape “unless the officer has probable cause to believe that the suspect poses a significant threat of death or serious physical injury to the officer or others.” This decision, which reversed a Tennessee statute which allowed the use of deadly force on any fleeing felon — even those who posed no imminent danger to anyone — has helped inform the creation of UOF policy across the country. Officers who use deadly force on a fleeing felon must be able to articulate probable cause that the subject posed a significant threat of death or serious physical injury at the time of the use of force. When there is media coverage of a video of a cop shooting someone in the back, police executives and experts need to explain why that officer might have reasonably believed that person posed a significant threat of death or serious physical injury.

I'm no legal expert, but if I was on the jury, I think I'd allow "he was fleeing with a gun and refused to drop it" as reason to believe that he posed a significant threat to others.
