Televangelist Pat Robertson during Thursday’s “The 700 Club” on CBN, argued “the finest” did not work at police departments, which is why
After demonstrated the difference between a Glock handgun and a taser while discussing former police officer Kim Potter’s claim that she mistook her sidearm for a taser in the killing of Daunte Wright, Robertson said, “There’s just no comparison.”

Uh, no? Go here to see a comparison of police Tasers versus a service pistol: https://freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/3950071/posts?page=132#132
Since when is a police pistol BRIGHT YELLOW?
No, but that is a judgment of the local police department to set performance standards and evaluate the officer against those standards. That is a problem caused by the police department and its administration. That still doesn’t make the officer a murderer, but she certainly could be incompetent with respect to on-the-street police duties.
I’m willing to let that be a question answered by the jury, just as any civilian in a similar situation would be facing. Police should not be treated as above the law in such situations or you run into an Ashli Babbitt situation.
Something else - this officer was *a department training officer* and had served 26 years. She *should* have been well enough trained and experienced enough that this should not have happened, since *she was the one training other officers.*
This was a training and leadership failure for sure, but the officer bears responsibility as well. The chief of her department has resigned as well, but before he left he stated that she completely violated training and policy.
We have lowered standards in so many areas in order to allow unqualified, unfit women to participate in law enforcement, the military, etc. And they just can't do the job.
It shows.
That was AWESOME! Thanks for posting.
Facts do matter.
It would be nice to see a photo of the service pistol and the taser issued to the Brooklyn Center police.
Let Pat get his wrinkled old ass out there and deal with the street thugs. People who constantly criticize the police wouldn’t last 5 minutes on the job. Yes, she made a horrible mistake, but why does Pat feel the need to pile on in his holier-than-thou way?
This appears to be a bright yellow Taser X2.
Also from the video, the officer's issue pistol, which appears to be a Glock.
They don't look much alike at all.
Pat Robertson is without sin, so he can judge.
Don’t see this idiotic old fart being a cop or doing anything remotely as dangerous as being a cop. All he does is swindle suckers. Remember this is the moron who ran for President because he said God told him he would win. Imbecile.

Evangelical media mogul Pat Robertson on Thursday called for former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin to be put "under the jail" for kneeling on George Floyd's neck. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/pat-robertson-chauvin-should-be-put-under-the-jail/ar-BB1fH3tw
Love the part about the cruelty to animals!
Please, get the hook and get him off the stage!
PS--Didn't he also think that Biden really won?
....all due respect but I’m just wondering if you can cite any specific cases where a male officer has shot and killed a suspect and subsequently blamed doing so on “accidentally” pulling out his pistol, aiming it and pulling the trigger....
I’ve never heard of any such thing before but I’m no expert.
Instead of head or chest shots, train to shoot in the lower extremities.
So true but it’s all about diversity and now these DC traitors are doing this crap to our US Military.
Thank you for taking the time to get those screen shots of the taser and the gun.
What a mess.
The gun is supposed to be holstered on the cop’s dominant hand side and the taser holstered on the other side.
I find it hard to fathom how a cop with 26 years on the job could make such a fatal mistake.
Pat is a conman. “Televangelist Pat Robertson says he believes Biden won the election and distances himself from Trump: ‘You’ve had your day, and it’s time to move on’”
