I say this is interesting, considering the laws here if we ever have to defend ourselves. Whether we open carry or not, most incidents I hear of someone defending themselves have an armed opponent. Often, the armed citizen is drug through the ringer trying to convince the legal system that he was in the right.
I wonder how severe this will be for an officer with an unarmed suspect. Could be beneficial to any of us if we ever have to defend ourselves as a comparison if he does have no repercussion from this incident. Especially given all the training and such that an officer receives and still having to fatally discharge his weapon.
Time will tell,
