No Charges in Wal-Mart BB Gun Shooting

I think the question here ought to be, if it was a civilian that did the shooting in the same circumstances, would he be charged with murder (or manslaughter)? Say it was the store security guard, or CCP store manager.

To me, it is pretty clear that the answer is yes. I don't know why these cops should have a different standard. It was either reasonable to shoot someone in self defense or it wasn't.
