tasers work, the man attacked the officers with a deadly weapon.
An old man could not be a match for even a woman LEO. Just hit him with a baton, knock him down.
The taser worked. The old man was disarmed and dropped his weapon. He likely was not thinking clearly, and he won’t ever do that again,
. As in Dead Right There.
Like using a cattle prod on a small dog, overkill. But all of the living involved will sleep well.
Leo’s stopped carrying batons 20 years ago. thanks to bleeding hearts like you.
