You cannot shoot a fleeing suspect unless you know the suspect is armed and dangerous. That’s the law.

And I’ve definitely heard of cases where a person was totally compliant with the police yet was still shot. Often this is the result of police giving confusing or contradictory orders, as in the case of Daniel Shaver.
