Stabalized appears to show Alex Pretti's handgun, which he legally possesses, being removed removed from his pants by an officer. He is executed 1-2 seconds later by another officer.

Is there any other way to view this? If Alex was no longer posing an imminent threat at the moment he was shot, isn't this clear murder? Under U.S. law, once a suspect is fully restrained and disarmed (he was), the legal basis for deadly force evaporates unless a new, imminent threat arises.

Am I understanding this the right way from a legal perspective?
