An RCMP (or other Police Officer) would not shoot a fleeing suspect in the back. There is nearly no way to defend it being a proper use of force using any agencies standrds.
A Police Officer using force likely to cause death or GBH on a subject who is resistant (a fleeing subject is resistant (unless fleeing while shooting or stabbing randomly behind him as an Officer goes for a tackle)) would get hung out to dry.
I get it though... Anti-cop... Cute.
