Sure, but Rolfe fired one of them into a civilian vehicle with three men inside.
Perhaps that's one reason why SOP is not to shoot during a chase through a parking lot?

Not at anyone running away no, but aye, ive had a shot of a few shotguns.
Never semiauto pistols all the same.
I ken where a few are buried. LoL
It's just a question, we don't have guns about in the same manner you do in the US, so if it was silly i do apologize.

Could the first shot not have been aimed in the air as a warning shot?
That might have stopped him in his tracks and made his drop the non-lethal taser.
Everbody could have gone home alive, or at least to gaol.

All TASER 7 Cartridges have a wire length of 25 feet (7.6 m). Twelve-degree cartridges can be effective in engagement ranges as close as 4 feet (1.22 meters). Twelve-degree cartridges have a black cartridge body.

If we are going to kill people for doing stupid things or running away, there are not going to be many of us left.

Naw but shooting someone in the back twice whilst running away in the opposite direction whilst wielding a Taser does raise some eyebrows.
Especially the law hence the 12 charges against the officer in question.
Buy hey'ho you know more than they do. x

He was a muppet who deserved to be incapacitated and up in front of a judge the next day for police assault and being in charge of a vehicle whilst under the influence or asleep.
But not dead imho.
