Except of the two, only ONE of them was entrusted with a firearm and was supposedly paid and trained to handle it responsibly and do his job even when the adrenaline starts pumping.
The "shouldn't have run" argument doesn't hold water here. Even the officer knew that, or he would not have dropped the taser by the victim's lifeless body. It is a crap argument, and it's the reason he's being charged with murder.
