How many weapons did he have on him? How many weapons were in the car? Don’t spin it, how many?
“How many weapons did he have on him? How many weapons were in the car? Don’t spin it, how many?”
Doesn’t matter. He was disobeying lawful police directions and acting in a menacing manner.
What exactly are you basing the timing of the tazering and shooting on?
I noted you totally evaded the questions. Lets try again.
What made the suspect fall on the ground Karl?
And once on the ground, did the suspect make additional threatening move?
Lets hear it Karl.
Late 70’s, middle of the night, stopped a pick up, driver falls out the door, drunk, passenger sits there grinning. Told to get out of the pick-up. He refuses and instead the passenger reaches towards the glove box, is told to stop, doesn’t stop and punches the button and the glove box drops open and he reaches in, weapon now drawn by the officer and being pointed at passenger, passenger refuses many calls to freeze, he just grins and quickly pulls his hand out of the glove box while grasping a silver object in his hand as he swings his arm toward the officer. Split-second decision.
Something metallic silver in color in his fast moving hand being brought to bear on the officer - officer fires and passenger found to have small spray paint can in his hand. No firearm found. Passenger lives and says he thought it would be funny to play a “joke” on the officer.
No firearm in the pick-up or on the driver or passenger. Good shoot or not?
