There were a couple here who told us that since a Tazer is a one-shot dealie, the officer should have known he was no longer being threatened.
I’m not buying that either.
Newer tasers are two shots.
Here is what an idiot said the cops should have done.
“”””Cedric Alexander, the former police chief of DeKalb County, east of Atlanta, said the Friday night encounter outside a Wendys restaurant should never have escalated into a use-of-force situation.
Alexander suggested the officers who found Brooks, 27, asleep in his car in the restaurants drive-through could have called him an Uber or given him a ride home instead of taking him into custody.”””””””””””
Really??? Passed out drunk at a drive thru and the cops are supposed to give you a free ride home?
The taser is not a one-shot dealie. There is a projectile taser contact function, which is one shot, then there is the direct contact function of the taser that can be used multiple times.
