Tried looking for it here, cop gets him right in the heart or something very close by how much blood he loses.

"San Leandro, California — On April 18, 2020, about 3:12​PM, San Leandro Police Officers responded to Walmart, located at 15555 Hesperian Boulevard, for a report of a man brandishing a baseball bat inside the store. Upon their arrival, officers saw Steven Taylor standing near the shopping cart storage bay holding a baseball bat. Officers approached Taylor and gave him commands to put down the bat. Taylor did not comply with the officers’ commands and instead walked towards the officers while still holding the bat. An officer discharged his taser, which was not effective, and Taylor continued walking towards the officers. Then, the officer used his service weapon, striking Taylor once in his upper torso. Seconds later, another officer discharged his taser at Taylor. Officers called for paramedics and provided first aid until they arrived. Despite life-saving measures, Taylor died from his injuries at the scene. The officers involved were placed on administrative leave. On April 20, 2020, the Alameda County Coroner’s Bureau performed an autopsy on Taylor and the preliminary cause of death was determined to be a single gunshot wound to his chest. Additionally, the Coroner’s Bureau confirmed that Taylor did not sustain any additional gunshot wounds to his head or back."

Do not believe this is a repost.

I have to say that using lethal force was extreme in this case. He could barely walk due to being tased and was well out of reach with a melee weapon. Unjustified, in my opinion.

And you're right, he was leaking. Doubt it was in the heart as he'd died either instantly or within mere seconds but he seems to be still alive and alert all the way up to when the video ends.

He starts walking towards the cop with a weapon, got what he asked for.

Actually, I think Gomer's words were:
"Surprise, Surprise, Surprise!"

Its funny little a life is worth to people on this site, or rather how little its worth to americans. The only time lethal force is acceptable is if the suspect is visibly holding a firearm.
