“IF such an individual is identified - notify The Laz at once.”

Ha!

>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.

The weight and feel in your hand is completely different as well.

“””Moral of the story: Don’t resist arrest because the arresting officer may be an affirmative action hire who can’t tell the difference between a firearm and a taser which might make you assume room temperature.”””


So right. Wasn’t it Chris Rock who made the comedy video about why it was not a good idea for blacks to resist arrest?

The death of Duante Wright is also the result of releasing a person charged with armed robbery with no bail. That arrest happened Feb 21, 2021.

The message being sent to the black youth in Democrat cities is: “If you are black, go ahead and commit crimes because the city will not put you in jail.”

Police these days are too overloaded with gear. Their belt is something Batman would be proud of. In a stressful situation, I could see them fumbling for something off of their belt and picking the wrong thing -- aside from the fact you can't run well with a 30 lb. load on your hips, and you'll probably end up with back problems the rest of your life...

I don’t know how long she’d been on the force or anything about her.

However, they are hiring - from the few folks who still want to be police officers - from some people they probably would not have hired before...not because of racism or sexism, but simply because they didn’t have the qualifications or even seem like the right type for the job.

“Buy canned food, and precious metals.”

“Precious metals?”

“Copper, lead, brass, steel...”.

This happened in Tulsa several years ago. A reserve deputy shot a suspect because he grabbed his gun instead of his taser.
I was taking to a friend who was in law enforcement at the time. He said the grips on at taser are identical to those on a glock. He thought they should make them different enough so you can tell by feel which one you are holding.

Why does it take so long for cops to handcuff people? The longer it takes, the more dangerous it becomes for both parties

We did it in San Francisco first, the cop was male and the perp was younger, so no cigar.

Damn right they’re hiring! They lost 100 police officers or 1/8th of their force in the last 9 months!

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.

Yep....

So this young man got killed for having an air freshener hanging from his rear view mirror (which is the stated PC for the stop).

Yep indeed.

That US Army lieutenant that just got tazed in Virginia>

If he had not run his mouth and acted out - he never would have been tazed.

Having said that - yes the cop should be fired and possibly charged.
