Volunteer or not, he acted on police duty.

You must comply with the lawful command of a police officer. There is no argument there. There is no death penalty for anything in this scenario. Anyone with a brain can agree the guy did not deserve to die. It was an accident as the video clearly demonstrates. There is a guy who acted stupidly, took police on a chase, then started to run and when he was finally tackled, continued to resist. The officer intended to hit him with his stun gun and instead shot him with his pistol. It was not intentional. The guy is only dead because of his own actions and behavior.
