Had to look that case up. It doesn't look like he got shot with his own taser. But, the guy did run, he did turn around and knock the taser out of the cops hand. The cop was probably? Wrong here, but 18 years? Honestly, if I was the cop, I might have done the same thing in the moment. And, really? If I was pulled over by a cop, I wouldn't run and I definitely wouldn't attack the taser in a cops hands as I was running, if I was stupid enough to run in the first place - mainly because I would be pretty sure I'd get shot if I did. It played out badly, it really did, and I could see the cop losing his job, and possibly? Going to prison for a time? But 18 or 20 years? Watching the videos I watched, the punishment seems a bit more extreme than the crime I saw.
The powers that be … don’t want us to know the truth.
Pretty sure that didn’t happen.

Sure seems that way.
Yep
