The black man engaged in a potentially fatal act against the officer.

When the police use tasers it should be considered lethal force?

Are you sure that’s what you want?

"When the police use tasers it should be considered lethal force?"

That's a good point. But if a man uses physical violence against police to evade arrest (or simply to hurt them) and steals a taser from a policeman, there's good reason to believe that the man might use the taser to obtain a policeman's pistol and fire it at him.

Imagine being armed with a pistol and a taser. Then imagine someone who has already attacked you once taking the taser away from you and acting like he's going to use the taser on you. Do you see what I mean? The taser would enable a violent criminal to tase, disarm and shoot a cop, and we don't want that to happen.

Some of the worst of violent criminals often use the tactic of running, turning to fight, running again and so on. Do you see? Home invaders have used the same tactic against their intended victims. They try to kill their victims, then run, then turn to try to kill again. That's a lethal pattern that must and will be stopped, one way or another.

The police, on average, are far more merciful than enraged mobs of vigilantes. The radical left has chosen a future of justice administered by vigilantes.

I swear people are getting dumber and dumber on this site as time goes by. When a officer fires a taser at a suspect to incapacitate a suspect it is to subdue a subject to put him under arrest. That is the assumed purpose. When a damn suspect fires a taser at a cop however one can safely assume it’s not to put the officer under arrest lol but rather to inflict further injury to him/her up to and including lethal injury. This is not complicated
