they are not rent a cops they are DEPUTY SHERIFFS the same ones that patrol who patrol Los Angeles county when the person started running the deptuy didnt know why the guy was running (just to adviod a ticket the deputy would correctly assume that guys was wanted for something okay maybe shooting wasnt right thing to do but since the subject suddenly turned toward the deputy

What the fuck is it with these rent-a-popos and/or LAPD cast-offs?

Playing too much GTA IV will do this to you. I would have done the same thing.

Next time, just hide in the bathroom.

So, the cop didn't know whether the fare-evader was armed. He was only afraid the guy had a weapon. Just how close was this guy that he was deemed an immediate threat when he turned around? At least Margaret Mitchell was waiving a screwdriver around when she was shot and killed. This guy was lucky to get away with a few scrapes and bruises.
