“This kind of competency in Law Enforcement does not increase my warm and fuzzy the way they tell it is supposed to.”
Sadly so. They can’t protect themselves, but they can protect me? Riiiiiiight...
As he was getting back, could they have re-Tasered him, sprayed him with a faceful of pepper spray, hog-tied him with those big cable ties, then took a breath and called for backup?
At the moment of arrest the partner should be ready to bring maximum force down quickly at the first sign of resistance. The guy thought he was ready but it looked more like he was checking his FaceBook status for ‘likes’ and ‘shares’.
How long does a taser shock you for? If its operator controlled I woulda held the trigger down until he was finished emptying his bowels. Big cop was nice yanking him out of traffic by his scrotum!
Did the perp shoot the big guy with the one he took from the other officer during the scuffle? You can hear them say ‘gun” but its not clear if he was going for his own or trying to grab the cops gun in the tight scuffle? The big guys left knee buckles then the perp is reaching in the car for his piece.
Totally FUBAR.
The perp got to his knees and shook off both officers and escaped after he had been tased! Did this guy have prior prison muscles or was he on PCP?
You can tell that he was much more motivated in killing them and escaping than they were in stopping him from doing it.
