They failed to give first aid in the critical moment and chose to kick him and stand on him.

That's what clinches it in my mind. Shooting him was questionable, but potentially justifiable in the heat of the moment. Deliberately delaying medical aid and further assaulting him once he was clearly no longer a threat, however, takes it from "I needed to shoot this guy for public safety" to "I wanted this guy to die because I'm angry," and nobody who employs the latter mindset in any aspect of their life should be allowed to roam the streets, let alone to police them. That's murder.

He stopped running away to shoot the cop, he could have stopped running to take his gun. Justified.

It's significantly more practical to turn while running and fire a taser than it is to stop running and charge back and the people you're fleeing from to try and wrestle a gun away from them. If you're calling that "possibility" a justifiable basis for shooting him, you might as well be suggesting that cops should shoot everyone they see because any of them could potentially try taking their gun.
