73 years old?

Other posts indicated he was a wealthy man who had paid to be on the force as an auxiliary. He might not have been up to snuff on his weaponry reflexes (”This is your Tazer, this is your gun.”). Bad shoot, from what I’ve read—he was trying to zap a suspect already on the ground. Even if he was struggling, there should have been enough time to look at what was in his hand before pulling the trigger.

Was even a tazing necessary, at that stage of the arrest?

Well, the most important thing is that the 73-year old pay-to-play reserve officer got to go home to his mansion at the end of his pretend shift.

I guess they are going to have to paint the stun guns green and pink so no one confuses them with guns in the future!

That’s interesting. An earlier article said he’d been cleared of wrong-doing by the police department. I guess the prosecutor saw things differently.

'In a written statement, Tulsa County District Attorney Stephen A. Kunzweiler said Bates is charged with second-degree manslaughter involving culpable negligence. It's a felony charge that could land the volunteer deputy in prison for up to
four years if he's found guilty. '
The Defense has already put out the meme :
'He also said he believed there was a "strong possibility" that Harris had a gun.'
