The European Convention on Human Rights

SECTION I
ARTICLE 2

    Everyone's right to life shall be protected by law. No one shall be deprived of his life intentionally save in the execution of a sentence of a court following his conviction of a crime for which this penalty is provided by law.
    Deprivation of life shall not be regarded as inflicted in contravention of this article when it results from the use of force which is no more than absolutely necessary:
        (a) in defence of any person from unlawful violence;
        (b) in order to effect a lawful arrest or to prevent escape of a person lawfully detained;
        (c) in action lawfully taken for the purpose of quelling a riot or insurrection.

And?

And it's fucked up that things like that happen in the U.S. but it looks like it could be argued "deprivation of life" was legal in Walter Scott's case if it were Europe. From the little I gathered, and  uncharacteristically of the justice system in the US, that officer was also charged.

No, it couldn't be argued in Europe. What you quoted isn't law.

Also, yes, he was fired and arrested and will probably be charged for murder or homicide. But the scary part is to think what would have happened if there was no video footage. The officer's story of "stolen taser" and "afraid for his life" would very likely have been believed. And how many times has something like this happened before for the guy?

he had the right idea, he just didnt reanalyze the situation and understand that it had evolved, he kept it at an escalated state when it was no longer there, cost two men their lives, which is a shame for all.

I still remember this shit, "exchanging" fire, however no gun was found in the boat.

Hahahah, their accuracy was truly something extraordinary. I don't remember the details, but they had a very low hit percentage even on the boat and the suspect(s) inside didn't get hit, I think.

Laws in the countries composing Europe can be more restrictive than The European Convention on Human Rights. Most of the countries in Europe have a law about proportionate usage of force depending on the situation. Shooting hobos would most likely not be considerate proportional in Europe.
