Did she make a mistake? Sure. The situation was the kids fault, though, and he escalated and could have killed one of them when driving off, but it was poorly handled in a number of ways, he shouldn't have been near the door, the cop didn't seem to be able to use the cuffs, etc. And at the end of it all, the kid decided to try to flee and escalated it all on his own.
So no, I don't think that prison is the right answer for her.
Wait if she thought she was tasering the guy why did she mag dump? Tasers aren’t multi-shot. At most you pull the trigger and hold, which should mean at a single shot from the glock. Either this cop is massively incompetent or something fishy is going on.
Based on what we know at this time, she didn't shoot him for any of those reasons. She shot him accidentally while she was trying to tase him. If an investigation confirms this, she should not be in prison.
Cops are tasked with dealing with violent murderers, thugs, rapists, gang bangers and whacked out drug addicts so we don't have to. Their job requires them to approach and confront these dangerous people and others, risking their lives and safety, and to make life and death decisions in split seconds. They are not perfect. Due to the nature of the job we hire them to do, the mistakes they make will sometimes result in death, theirs or someone else's.
Civilians are not tasked with approaching criminals and taking them into custody for the safety of the general public, so we have a lot less leeway in whom we can legally shoot.
Indeed. It's like how a surgeon who loses a patient should get investigated, but in most cases isn't going to be found guilty of murder. Death risk is part of the job interaction.
The KEY point.
He had a warrant for arrest on him (for a weapons charge)
When the warrant came back and he broke and ran for his car, he has priors and could have had a gun in the car.
I heard he told his mommy they stoped him for an air freshener on the rear view mirror. He could have easily beat that as a reason for the stop if he wouldn't have had the warrant. Should have been letting the gf drive.
All valid.
However, if any of us mag dumped a glock into somebody for any of the aforementioned things we would be in prison.
So she should be too.

She didn't. She shot once. OP pulled that out of his ass.
edit: that being said she should know the difference between a glock and a taser.
One less thug jogger, she should be given an Amazon gift card.

Oh I'm not sad he's dead. I'm sad that the dumb bitch that shot him gets to be the sole arbiter of force in bidens ideal world

I hope they don't have red flag laws where you live.
Some people have never seen a cop do wrong
A general rule of thumb, innocent people don't run.
