From what I'm reading the guy is still alive so we can only pray he lives. I just can't imagine those kids seeing their daddy shot like that.
I read that they tried to tase him, but the taser didn’t work or was ineffective. I just watched the video again and I don’t see a taser being discharged. Again, three LEO vs. one guy with a medium build, who appears impaired, but unarmed. The LEO’s had non-lethal options such as tasers, pepper spray, police baton, and tackling him to the ground. (Yes, I understand that tackling the perp could have resulted in the LEO suffering a boo-boo to the knee or even a bloody nose, and so why take a chance on a non-lethal injury when they can shoot him seven times in the back.)
