Sorry to play lawyer here but someone set me straight on my logic.

The facts I am basing my logic on:

1. Police have fought for many, many years and won many, many cases that tasers are non-lethal.
2. This even includes absolving the police of liability in cases where the target of the Taser has a health condition and dies as a result. AKA, you get Tased and die, your family cannot claim use of deadly force as the police are protected from liability since they could not know the heart condition existed "in the heat of the moment"
3. Police use the classification of "Non-lethal" to justify using Tasers in situations they are fully aware they would not be justified in using lethal force.
4. Case law tends to way heavy on decision making.

Given these rulings,a police officer cannot claim fear for there life when one of their own Tasers are pointing there way.

Further, the argument that they would be incapacitated and could have their weapon taken is a hypothetical situation. This situation would only really even be viable if the officer is alone or significantly separated from other officers.

In order to be honest and true to our values we must apply the law equally even when we don't like the result. Thus the law currently presents the police using lethal force to combat non-lethal force.

That being said, I also think that this situation is the very thing that people feared would happen when the police started Tasing people even without justification to use lethal force. We should revisit the law itself and properly classify the Taser as a tool that is used only when lethal force is justified.

This tool is meant to save lives when the threshold to use lethal force has already been crossed yet the police, in predominantly liberal precincts, have found ways to use the tool beyond its original intention. This incident has caused them to reap what they have sown.

Update:

I think alot of you felt like I was being "anti-police" when I was really warning of exactly this scenerio: https://thedonald.win/p/FzFyTLfx/so-it-is-a-deadly-weapon-and-the/c/

Didn't take long for the Democrats to figure out a way to twist the law to turn it against the police. The end result of this is going to be every person ever tazed is going to file lawsuits against the police for use of deadly force when it was not justified. That can of worms is open now...
