It was an off duty cop working 2nd job as Walmart parking lot security. He didn't use less lethal force because he saw an opportunity to use lethal force and took it. These cops and security guards don't have education or training other than in how to control and escalate. It's a simple training for simple minds, the basics are stay calm and cool and take away power from the other person until they react, then use that reaction to justify violence. Anything but submission to the violence and oppression can be met with escalating force, to the point of death. It's crazy, but that's why you don't fuck with cops.
Moving towards someone with a knife in hand to cause harm, yes it would be justifiable.
Shooting a man in the back 9 times that can't walk is criminal. He could have easily kick the damn wheel chair down or tase him from the side or front.

Well why in the hell did they not tase him
American cops like to shoot people.
@Hispanic-Cool-Guy Doesn't matter. Consider the female officer who thought she was tasing a guy but used her gun "accidentally" and killed him.

did he have a gun
He stole something from the store and had a knife in his possession.
That can get you shot. Did he wave the knife? He might have done a suicide by cop.

Your talking to someone who thinks cops are angels. Like trying to convince a symp the stripper doesn't love him
