This is definitely trickier than people are making it out to be. Are tazers considered deadly weapons? Seems weird to feel in fear of your life because someone shot a non lethal weapon at you while fleeing. Not sure about this one.am Maybe they didn't want to pursue because close proximity had already turned out bad for them once? What if he got their gun in the middle of the next struggle? Hard to say.
Did you not see that he had two officers trying to detain him? And yet he was still able to take one of the officers weapons? So, if he had the chance to tase the one officer, that would leave two officers vulnerable and he could have easily gotten one of their guns. This puts both officers in danger of their lives, as well as all of the innocent bystanders. The cops were absolutely justified in this case. Don’t tell me a taser is not lethal, especially when watching how easily he overtook TWO officers.
I'm going to make this one simple for you. You don't get to shoot anything at the police. Period. A taser is a potentially lethal weapon. If the officer was struck and disabled, now his 100 percent lethal side arm is uncontrolled and accessible by a fleeing felon. We have fleeing felon laws for a reason.

If he gets tazed, he goes down, his gun is available for the taking!
People have died after being tased. Other people can shrug it off and keep coming. It seems inconsistent.
