“Did the suspect have his hand on the cop’s taser? And did the cop yell for the suspect to let go of the taser?”
The perp pushed the taser away with his hand twice to avoid being tased. The cop dropped the taser and they wrestled to the ground after that, (I think the taser can only be fired twice, no positive on that one). Anyway, neither seemed to go for the taser. The cop was on the perp’s back, the perp was on the ground, prone. The cop had his weight on the perp, one arm around him, and drew his weapon with the free arm. Then, at point blank range shot the perp in the back of the head.
My son is a cop and he is not a fan of the taser. In his opinion they are not effective enough to count on them.
