I agree but I don't feel like the cops shooting the guy was unjustified. He was trying to harm officers. If someone is trying to harm an officer then I think they have every right to defend themselves in a way they deem appropriate.

If he is running away, then he is not attempting any harm at that point

Absolutely.

Yes and no. Officers are trained to escalate force based on the threat to themselves and the public and to de-escalate when the situation is under control. Again.. a few seconds of video with no context for what happened before... can't give anyone a logical determination of if they were justified or not. An investigation should.
