Playing devils adovate - what if the guy on ground looked to be reaching for a weapon?
If the guy was reaching for a weapon the deputy was at fault for not frisking him. It didn't look like any attempt at reaching for a weapon to me though.

The guy was doing a push up to get off the ground, even if he had a weapon there is plenty of time for the officer to pounce on his back. Make no mistake the officer coldly, and calculatedly shot that man, the video does'nt lie, and I am pretty sure it was a witness to the whole thing that shot the video, not some dashboard cam in a cruiser.

I'm very pro-police, but if that deputy does not go to jail, the justice system is more screwed up than I could have imagined.
