"Another deputy then fired two shots at Rose, but did not hit him."

Inside a living room, he missed twice?

Hit the range pronto, bro.

If convicted he faces up to three years in state prison.
So with one little BB gun he managed to change an eviction into a change-of-address.

What a maroon.

In most states this guys actions would get him dead.

He should by a lotto ticket and send the proceeds to that department.

They obviously need the money for more officer range time.

Deputies told Rose to drop the weapon, and when he failed to do so, a deputy shot Rose with an electronic stun gun.

If they believed it to be a firearm why were they tazing him? Obviously that was a bad decision. If the guy had a firearm both officers would be dead now. Besides, a BB gun or a pellet rifle are absolutely not toys; a pellet in the eye will go all the way through the brain, a couple of times. Those officers made a big mistake, IMO, assuming that an eviction is a walk in a park before they even made contact.

I guess he was planning his relocation - wishing to move into a jail cell as quickly as possible.

I love stories that make me laugh.

How stupid do you have to be to pop a cop with a bb.?

BB guns just don’t pack the punch they used to..

may as well just leave the front and back doors unlocked.

cops are coming in , ready or not..

The wording is unclear. Firing the weapon while he was being tased might have been an involuntary response.
If so, that could account for why tasing was tried in the first place, they knew it was a bb gun but didn’t account for any involuntary jerking on the recipient’s part.
Or he could have fired it before the thing hit, having really fast reflexes and all.
Hard to imagine someone meeting a supposed firearm threat with a taser rather than a firearm. But if so, kudos for their restraint.
For that matter, they seem to have showed some afterward, too. Too bad more don’t do so in these situations (71 shots?).
