Why is it immediately dismissed that but for the perp not complying he would be alive? This is true in virtually every case of shooting by cop.

Black mother’s often say that they have to give their teen boys “the talk”, meaning how to act if pulled over. These folks obviously ignored the talk.

A taser against a moving vehicle? Hmmm, that explanation defies logic.

The bigger problem is, who wants to be a cop these days. They have to take whatever they can get.

“Woman cop? What if she is black?”

What if she is transgender and identifies as a cat/dog half breed with a foot fetish who likes to leg hump strangers?

I’m halfway convinced tasers should NOT be issued to cops.

Just shoot the bastard if they disregard.

I say there would likely be LESS police shootings if thugs knew there was no chance of being tazed but a huge chance of being shot if they act out.

Tragic mistake?

Had he complied there would not have been any need for a taser deployment (an overrated tool), but here we are and let the chaos begin.

New training for police traffic stop:

Step one: Ask the driver to remove and hand you the car keys. I understand that if his wife is in the passenger seat with her own key and it is a pushbutton starter, this won’t help, but I have a feeling it would have saved this guy’s life.

But when you try to run from police, you put your life in their hands. And they don’t want you running people down with your car.

But I’d have said I was going for my tazer too. Actually, no. This is what I would have said:

Nothing.

Total. BS. A taser and a gun shoot different enough to know the difference. This is a childish liar who thinks she is fooling people.

“Poor training? Poor practice? Affirmative hire? Should be fired, yes. Likely should be charged with manslaughter and let the courts sort it out.”

So basically, she can now expect to be promoted to commissioner, otherwise the shakedown lawsuits fly

Americans would be stunned if they knew how many needless fatal police incidents were caused or incited by female cops or supervisors.

Something that jumped out at me about the George "Pink" Floyd shooting was that one of the cops involved in the incident was a 36 year-old rookie.

It wasn't like this is a woman or minority who was hired to fill a "diversity" quota. He's a WHITE MALE.

This tells me that many of these urban police departments are scraping the bottom of the barrel when it comes to hiring, and that many of the cops they hire are marginal people who would otherwise be managing a McDonald's restaurant or working in an Amazon warehouse.

That is my point, who wants to be a cop these days?

Even if you have good character there is the matter of dealing with SJWs in the government, who needs the headache if you have other alternatives?
