Yeah, whatever rocks your boat of righteousness. You know what, I can even go with tasering the guy, stretching it to my limits of acceptance after watching the video. But obviously not with shooting him.
Obviously the prosecutor holds the same opinion.
Honestly in that situation with the woman cop, they said she shot right after the tazer went off.. Have you ever heard a tazer deployed? sounds kinda like a snap-n-pop or one of those confeddy poppers. (where you pull the string and crap comes out the other end) This poor girl was rattled pretty hard by this big guy as she was first on the scene and had to deal with him the longest. then add her recent training on identifing people on drugs and what they can do, she was probable out of her mind, then when she heard the pop she jumped and pulled the trigger.
If you ever held a gun on someone in a life or death situation the one thing that is most clear is the fact that one of you could die at any moment and if you cant control that feeling then a noise will have you instinctual react to preserve yourself.
which is probably why she is up for manslaughter.
Not her fault completely, but again that is the difference between the courts and the arresting officers. something these men seem to be confusing.
