How did the cop who fired know he was being fired upon by a tazer? All he probably saw was a flash of light. Was it even his tazer or his partners? We can see,from the side, it was a flash but what could he see? Maybe he thought he was being fired upon by a gun therefore the shooting would have been justified and all this is just a show. Guy shouldn't have been out drinking and driving in the first place. He shouldn't have resisted arrest. He shouldn't have grabbed the officers tazer. He shouldn't have run. He shouldn't have beaten the officers. He shouldn't have fired upon the officer. Lots of "Shouldn't s" led to a terrible place.
I can see why the police are ill with the flu. Who has their backs?
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 30196809 You're exactly right. Not enough space to type "he shouldn't have been killed" in there though? I know, I know, what were the cops supposed to do? Whatever it took to arrest the man. Whatever it took. Both EXCELLENT points. Remember, an officer has a small fraction of a second to evaluate the situation and respond. The point about the flash is a great one. Most officers have never been fired upon, so they have no experience evaluating exactly what has been discharged at them. What most civilians don't realize is, that a cop's training tells them that when a subject fires on a police officer, that very action puts the subject on a different level than one just being questioned. Any subject who is willing to run, turn and discharge a weapon at a cop, is showing there is very little they WON'T do to avoid capture. That's why officers HAVE to take extraordinary measures to render that subject unable to escape and potentially kill someone. Cops are tased and pepper sprayed as part of their training.
