Thank you for this! The audio of people getting upset at the cops is disturbing. The one guy saying "This dude was not being aggressive" like Oh really, did you miss the part where he struggled and stole the tazer and ran, and then attempted to shoot a cop with a tazer?
A tazed cop is a cop who's gonna lose his gun, and probably his life. Threatening to taze a cop is no joke
Actually a 2 shot weapon. 2 people can be tased and incapacitated at the same time if he hits both.
In a 1v1 situation if the guy gets the officer's Taser it's for sure a lethal force situation since if you get Tased you are completely incapacitated and are at risk of having your face stomped without being able to fight back or having your gun or other weapons taken.
It's a 2v1 situation though so it does change the dynamics.
Everyone stop replying to this retard. The user name is a poor attempt to hide the name "Bash the Fash" aka this guy is an AntiFa troll. We see you loser.
I noticed that but in the chaos and confusion, in the moment, I'd still side with the cops.
They're human beings and the guy they were arresting didn't have to spaz out like that.
The cops at the time don't have the luxury of frame by frame playback before deciding to pull the trigger. It's something to learn from but you're holding cops to an impossible standard. If you're going to do that then you might as well abolish them since it's impossible.
You think you have special powers of telepathy that you know exactly what someone knew or didn't now in a given situation and what they were thinking or weren't thinking.
In situations of self defence the aggressors life is in forfeit. If in any doubt you don't take the risk. If you need to stop them you use maximum force and you don't take the risk that lower force will be insufficient.
I'm tired of people reading into self defence and siding with thugs and attackers.
In this case his only mistake was shooting a few seconds too late. At that point he had no idea for sure if his friend had been hit, what the assailant was going to do and probably wasn't even sure of what the assailant had on his person.
That brief window of time is a few seconds in which you can only possibly act on instinct but I bet you've been thinking this over and watching that scene for several minutes on end.
You could argue it was technically a mistake but it was an unavoidable one and it was the perp that put himself wilfully in that position. No one forced him to become combative. He choose it and anyone who chooses that has to know that they might die as a result, by taking those actions they've signed their own waiver and consented to being on the receiving end of lethal force if that's deemed necessary.
We need to be getting tough on criminals and hard on crime, not soft. It's being soft that's led to this situation with the exception of when cops are authorised to go hard on crime it's some democrat political bullshit like arresting people for fucking making jokes in youtube videos.
It's time for zero tolerance of criminals, violent thugs or those who side with them. The man was a violent thug. Why not hold him to some standards and scrutinise what it is that he did?
He goes into a violent maniac rage and you're giving us flak over the police officer's temperament? Give me a break mate.
In situations like that where officers have to make the call and risk getting it wrong is part of the job description. They're probably already beating themselves up over it every time they have to pull the trigger and don't need your help.

That tazer could have been a gun. 2.5 seconds pass from when he turns around, points and shoots the taser, then gets shot himself.
2.5 seconds.
They don't have the luxury of analyzing the footage like we do. If they hesitate, they die. As far as that cop knows, hes pulling a gun on him.
JUST LISTEN TO THE COPS AND DONT FUCKING RESIST. Play stupid games, get stupid prizes.
Yes, he had time to think of all of that in 2.5 seconds.
Its life or death man.
People are so naive and ignorant to not factor in heat of the moment.
Fuck him...Shoot him... Bury him....Do what law enforcement tells you...

I would have put 2 in him a lot sooner....
