Garner states that deadly force “may not be used unless necessary to prevent (an) escape and the officer has probable cause to believe that the suspect poses a significant threat of death or serious physical injury to the officer or others.”

And how did Walter Scott pose a significant threat of death or injury to anyone?

Maybe the officer figured if the guy attacked him and could possibly have still had the taser in his posession, Scott could have attacked someone else?? The only way to know what the officer’s reasoning was is to ask him. Only a jury that hears every piece of evidence can resolve this. Lets hope when the verdict comes people will respect it.

Just curious, in your opinion if a subject fights you and succeeds in getting your taser from you, should you deem him a threat in the future as he is fleeing?
