Go watch the entire bodycam video. She pulled the wrong weapon while shouting that she was getting the other, muzzle-swept the officer beside her several times with her finger on the trigger, then shot the dirtbag (yup, he was scum but did he actually 100% deserve to die?) without checking her backstop, which meant that she could have shot the officer on the other side of the car, who you can see is in her line of fire.
Look at my posts to other related threads. This officer did not belong on the street or with either weapon. She is a danger to herself and others.
I don’t know what their policy is, and she may have violated it in a manner that makes her actions inexcusable. Do you know why she shouted, “taser, taser, taser?” Because the report of the taser could cause officers to misrepresent it as gun fire, and respond as such. The fact is “she” (which is an entirely valid disscussion) drew a weapon, which she ultimately thought was a taser (listen to her comments after the shooting) and deployed it. Do you think she would have made that error if the criminal hadn’t put her in that position”
Back when I was a Taser instructor, we encouraged officers to deploy the taser with their support hands to prevent this sort of mistake. Oh, and by the way, we didn’t abandon the citizens of Los Angeles, but we were unprepared for the level of insurgency we experienced.
