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.
