They shot him because in training they see stuff like this:
The lesson here is when you have a gun pointed at you you need to follow instructions. They could've legally shot him the first time he put his hands behind his back. They actually put their own lives in danger there.

The lesson here is, if you can't be relied upon to never shoot an unarmed man no matter what he is up to, you probably should not be permitted to carry a gun as part of your profession. If you are more willing to kill an innocent, than risk getting shot to protect one, maybe enforcement of the law and public service are not for you?

What is he doing with a pellet gun in a hotel? Doesnt make sense.

Well they used that video to convict him.

I would like someone in law enforcement to explain if having people crawl towards you is how you take someone into custody.

I think a bit more caution could of been used in this case. How bout a tazeer instead? The guy was doing as was asked, however he also moved his hand to go vbehind... why he did that, I guess we'll never know.

Yeah, I don't get that either. He was face down, legs crossed, arms out. It would seem they would approached and cuff him, unless they thought there was a potential threat inside the hotel room, which was just around the corner.

Because it is impossible to crawl with your hands in the air.
