Good grief. An idiot then.
Quota Hire. They never seem to pan out.

Well, not an idiot perhaps. But, definitely shouldn’t be working in a high stress environment for sure.
I’m wondering though why tasers are designed to have the look and feel of a handgun. Seems to me that’s not necessary.
My opinion as a thirty-year retired LEO is what is happening around the country with police hiring and current operation with the loss of veteran officers that are leaving departments in droves is incidents like this that will only increase.
From what I have learned the female officer was a Detective that was put in uniform due to patrol manpower shortages now that the departments have become Woke.
Many departments now are transferring ‘inside’ desk cops and other inside officer positions to patrol divisions.
The problem is, that those pogues - empty holster pay-rollers, have not worked on the street in years and when they did, where placed in administrative positions as soon as they could find someone to be their clout to do so, or that they were so incompetent that the only place for such people was in a non-police position.
Many of those such positions are now being filled by civilians also.
So the result, I believe in this case was a frightened officer working with an inexperienced rookie and having no recent training before being sent to patrol and the result was not unexpected when you talk to veteran street officers.
