I'm willing to bet the officer will attempt to claim he 'thought' he was grabbing his Taser.

But why on earth would he try and intentionally kill a guy who isn't struggling?

The man he shot and killed was pinned to the ground and had three other officers on top of him, at that point he was completely subdued and should not have even been tasered. He should have been handcuffed.
This cop is a murderer plain and simple.

They had him subdued, they had a knee on his head and a knee in his back he hasnt able to move and unless you can turn your arms 360 degrees to use a weapon then I might believe your argument. He was in a position where he posed little threat to the police.
You can clearly see the officer reach back for his gun they keep the guns and tasers on opposite sides of the belt to avoid any confusion between the two and the officer has been an officer for two years now. After an extended period you become familiar with where your gun is placed. Not only that but taser is colored bright yellow.
