What a sad sad video.
He was approximately 8 feet away, froze it at first gunshot sound, and using the young man as being about 6 feet as scale.
What a tragic state of affairs in Missouri.

If a taser fails the man easily could have killed the officer at that range and they should have a right to defend themselves especially from lethal force. For all the injustices that officers may be committing, this doesn't seem like one to me.

That video shows an officer with a holstered weapon, in a far less readied stance, with the perp closer than the Powell shooting.
That's a very poor comparison.
