How is shooting a man fighting with 3 cops, who had already been tasered 4 times, after your partner yells-”He has my gun!”equal a trigger happy cop?

First of all, as far as I can tell, the kid did not have the officers gun. The cop only felt it being pulled which was hooked on his side mirror...

So you mean to tell me three cops who are trained to deal with people who are intoxicated needed to shot a handcuffed person in the head? Not once but twice pulled the trigger after a misfire...?

Sounds trigger happy to me, but that's just my opinion, the jury who awarded them 1.75 million must have seen something sideways here...

Agreed. It was a tragic mistake.

He believed he had grabbed the other officers gun. Perps can shoot at cops while in handcuffs

OJ was not guilty according to a jury. Gov. Perry was just indicted by a grand jury.

Don't want to get shot, don't fight with cops. Its pretty simple.
