I am 100% with you. But that's not how these people think. They think "non-lethal weapon does not require lethal force" and that's where their logic stops.
No worries, I understand. This is a heated topic and your anger is definitely justified. I didn't take it personally at all.
Anyway, that graphic is really helpful and you can clearly see how things continued to escalate. The officers were absolutely handling the situation correctly...you might even argue that they waited to long to escalate their response to an increasingly belligerent offender.
That's why they are referred to a less-lethal. Not non-lethal, not less-than-lethal. Less lethal means it's not intended to cause death, but the potential exists. He even aims the taser, and I think he fires it. That's all the elements necessary for lethal force: the means (the taser), the opportunity (aiming it at the cops), and intent (also aiming it at the cops, and/or firing it.)
Within policy, well within the law. Open shut. Even borderlines on a malicious prosecution, wrongful termination all to score some political points.
If this goes through, good luck when police aren't responding to a motherfucking thing. But try and defend yourself? The police will be there to arrest you and prosecute you though.
