I'm not sure why this is on HN or why the heading was changed to play up the "shooting unarmed man while tasering wife" angle. I'm not a cop, but my understanding is that cops are generally permitted to use deadly force whenever they have reasonable grounds to fear that their physical well-being is in danger. So the question still before the courts is whether or not he was justified. It's probably not unusual for cop to be using force against one person and find himself attacked by an associate.
