  Please do not editorialize the titles of stories you submit to Hacker News. The submitted title ("Body Cam Captures Murder") does not say the same thing as the article title.

  It wasn't murder. I watched the entire video. The officer was very nice to the person he stopped, I didn't detect any attitude, etc.

  After the final time he asked for his license, the guy drove off and tried to run the officer over. He shot in self defense.

  The officer did nothing wrong. He defended himself and it's sad that someone had to lose a life in the process.

  It's also sad that we have to keep defending criminal behavior in attempt to fit this narrative that cops are racist.

  The only result will be more innocent people getting hurt or killed when officers stop being able to actually do their job.
