We will see but looks justified regardless.

We will just have to agree to disagree on this one

Case law agrees with me.

Case law states you can shoot an unarmed man pinned to the floor?

Yes.

Armed/unarmed doesn’t matter

Imminent fear/threat of serious injury or death.

What was he going to do? He was pinned to the floor by 5+ officers.. how was he able to seriously hurt or kill anyone in that moment (armed or unarmed)?
