I think having a weapon in hand while trying to escape is going to qualify the dead guy as a legitimate target. I suppose we shall see.
What was the crime or probable cause? Running while legally possessing a long gun?
From reading the linked article, I'd guess the probable cause for the warrant that was issued was the vehicle had been involved with a murder of a cafe employee in Dallas during a robbery that same night. The probable cause to arrest the guy with the rifle likely would be him exiting that same vehicle, that had been under surveillance while waiting for the warrant after the murder of a cafe employee, and exiting/running away from the vehicle with a long gun to avoid arrest.

It's possible they might "add" additional charges they seam fit but then again who knows?

In any and all cases if an officer of the law tells you to stop, you by golly have to stop. If you are carrying a rifle while refusing to be detained, you might just become a legitimate target. They absolutely have the authority to detain a person. If you feel they have wronged you by said detention, take it to court. I cannot imagine the police allowing an armed person that is evading arrest to get away and possibly kill an innocent person. This is not London yet.

Chas.
Did we read the same article?
I am programmed and predisposed to taking the side of cops in situations like this but cops no longer enjoy the presumption of doing the right thing from me.
It is possible an officer murdered a deserving dirt bag. Even if true, and internal investigation will almost certainly clear the officer of any wrongdoing.
