I just watched the helicopter and dashcam video. I don't see any reason this man should have been shot. There were between 2-5 officers available, there was no reason they couldn't just physically subdue him with or without the assistance of tasers. They could have taken him down long before he got back to the Navigator. 

 

I'm a big advocate in gun rights and responsible gun ownership. One of the first things they teach in firearm training is to only point your weapon at things you wish to kill/destroy. Her gun didn't unholster itself, point and fire with its own mind. She chose to draw her weapon and shoot the man in the video.

 

Possibly there is something that is not immediately obvious in the released videos to justify the killing of another man. As of what is available right now though, she definitely deserved to be charged with a crime and to have to stand trial in my eyes. From here hopefully the courts get all the facts and are able to make the correct ruling.
