That said, the cop who really failed is the male officer who didn't take the perp to the back of the car, didn't spread-eagle him, and didn't have enough of a hold on him. The perp needed to have his leg swept and his face planted into the rear quarter panel while chicken-winged.
Why draw the taser at all?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Agree completely. Tasers should NOT be issued to cops.
If a suspect resists - shoot him. With a .45 service revolver.
I truly believe this would reduce the number of cop shootings and greatly reduce the number of suspects attempting to flee.
And of course reduce crime stats over all.
