Is there any instance where it would be justified in shooting a suspect while fleeing?
If and only if he is deemed an immediate threat to society at large. i.e. if he just shot half a dozen people and was still armed, you would have reason to believe he is an immediate threat. This guy wasn't. Past due child support doesn't quite qualify.
Not so sure about that or otherwise the officer here wouldn't have fired at the dead beat dad.
