first let me say as a prosecutor you never have evidence this good this probative. this is actually our crime going down on videotape. and the defense attorney is going to try to say you can't believe your eyes ladies and gentlemen, you can believe what you see. the officer had no justification for shooting this man eight times in the back while he's running away. >> and paul what does the police officer have in terms of legal recourse when he gets into a struggle with somebody over the taser? is it the fact that mr. scott was running away and posed absolutely no harm to him whatsoever that is the damning fact here? >> yes. that is the factor. under federal law and indeed under state court decisions, assuming that you're chasing somebody who has even committed a crime and here the crime would be if he fought with the cop and tried to hit him or take his taser, you still don't have the right to shoot him. you only have the right to shoot him if he's endangering you at
