This scene is humiliating. This cop allowing the knuckle- dragger or anybody else to demean him. The cop is suppose to be a symbol of authority. The cop needs to rethink his career.

No, having a badge does not entitle one to shoot someone who is crawling on their knees, barefoot, in a T-shirt, and shorts while you and 2 more officers, wearing body armor, point assault rifles at a suspect. simply because you think he didn't obey your confusing demands in a fashion that suits you.
And if one of the officers, who fired the fatal SHOTS, had "you're f*ucked" written on his gun, well, many would consider that alone malice aforethought.
