Why would the outcome have been different in 5 minutes vs 24 minutes?
Confrontation culture - both the police and the Dindus.
In my world, I let the Dindu run with the Taser.
I have his car.
If he wants it back, he's going to have to crawl back to get it when he's sober - with the Taser he stole.
They need to teach some of the police common sense.
