fyi this is a police taser that from what i read, once darts are in place can give repeat incapacitating shocks if you pull trigger again....
so yea if the darts are in the cop and the guy has the taser and if he pull the trigger would incapacitate the cop.. they yes i say a good shoot...
Because if the guy incapacitates the cop then the cop is at his mercy for the guy to take his gun and finish the job...
But that a lot of "what ifs" so in and of itself does not mean the shooting was justified..
but it does in mean the cop did not just calmly shoot some guy in the back for just running away....
the guy did attack the cop and try to incapacitate him....
So I want more detail... because the the spin is it was unprovoked cold blooded murder.
I think if they do got to trial in going to go manslaughter 1 or 2 .....if the cop should of seen the guy as no longer a threat..
And that depends on more details because at that range even if the guy still had a working taser was he a threat?
but it does seem clear the guy did grab the cops taser and attack the cop.... so state of mind.. heat of the moment ...that will factor
A taser is a one time fire device. The Taser was successfully deployed against the dead man, the darts were still in his clothes. There is no way that the Officer could have been shot with his own taser if Williams had also been shot. We know for sure that Williams was shot. All the hype about the officer being incapacitated because he was shot with his own taser is wrong and simply an impossibility and just wishful thinking for those who think the cop is always right.
I am not saying anything good about the deadbeat dad who was murdered, but, he was murdered without proper justification. There is simply too much of this murder by cop going around. It is high time a cop is finally charged for his murder. If society does not start holding cops accountable for their actions there will only be more and more of this cop murdering happening.
