TL;DR Summary

A New Mexico police officer has been charged with voluntary manslaughter after shooting and killing a male nurse during a scuffle over a stolen beer. Graphic video footage captured the moment the officer shot the nurse in the back of the head. The officer's attorney claims the shooting was justified as the nurse had grabbed a colleague's taser and posed a threat. The victim's family alleges racial bias, but the evidence does not currently support this claim. The officer, who served in Iraq, has been suspended from duty, and further charges may follow. The incident has sparked calls for a broader conversation on police violence in the country.
