My old supervisor had a LOD fatal shooting. He fired one round of .40cal speer gold dot 180gr and killed the guy.
LOD?
My point was, if the motorcycle guy was a perceived deadly threat, what exactly did he "do" to immediately eliminate that threat and make the officer comfortable enough to reholster his pistol a second or two after firing a shot in fear for his life? His back was still turned, hands still hidden from view, actually even more so since he fell behind his bike. Seems like if he was sure enough to fire that one shot, there was no reason not to fire more.
That's why I think it looks more like a ND. I guess they figured they'd give it a shot defending it in court as a clean shoot.
For the record I know there's always more to the story, I'm just giving my opinion based on what little facts were presented.
