You’d be proud you were so fat and out of shape or lazy, or both, you couldn’t cover 3 feet and had to rely on a tazer to do what any normal person could have done with ease? And killed a woman in the process?
No doubt that the woman holds accountability for her decision to run, but to be proud of killing a girl because you are too fat or lazy to cover 3 feet? Just what warped world you live in I hope I never visit.
I don’t think too many officers...or soldiers for that matter...are “proud” of what they have to do in inflicting harm on other people as a part of their duty. But they do it anyway because it is their duty and to allow domestic or foreign criminals or enemies to escape brings a worse set of problems.
The officer and his actions were reviewed and cleared.
Maybe he was not in a good position to “chase her down” but could fire the taser. I wouldn’t judge so harshly. The woman was a criminal who had left the scene of a hit and run, had evaded police capture for five months, and who, when captured, broke free and tried to run.
As you say, she is the one responsible. So, short of being there and knowing that what you are speculating at is actually true (ie. he was too lazy...a pretty harsh judgement), I would not try and place the weight of guilt (or blame) on this officer. He was cleared, and IMHO, ought to have been cleared.
A sad tragedy that she fell such that she incurred a brain injury...but, IMHO, that unfortunate consequence belongs completely to her.
I wouldn’t lose one second of sleep if it was my taze that dropped her. Hope the estate can repay the person whose car she hit and ran from.Hope also that she hadn’t reproduced yet
There’s at least as much chance of something like this happening from being tackled (which would have been how he subdued her if he’d given chase) as tased. Freak accidents happen.
