1. A taser feels nothing like a gun even to a panicked mind, And tasers purposely made not to look like a gun.

2. The police have protocols to avoid this very scenario. Because this has happened before (thou extremely rarely)

3. She 26-year veteran, not some fresh recruit, There is every indication she has dealt with high-stress incidents without this level of panic.

4.Nothing in the video shows the level of panic anywhere near high enough to override both her training her experience and the protocols that exist to avoid this very scenario. 

I may have a moral objection to the way the police operate. But incompetent idiots they are not.

Yes, it is. And as I pointed out above it simply isn't believable that it was an accident and the evidence of it being so is not strong in the least.


Quote:Yes, it is not that likely, which is why it is not observed to happen more often.   But just a little reflection shows it can not be overwhelmingly unlikely, as a result, it’s observed occurrences do not strongly suggest people intentionally trying to make it happen.
None of this follows. Actual instances of this happening are different from people lying about it to cover their ass.


1.  By what objective standard do you determine two things are sufficiently unlike that there is no reasonable probability of their being confused?      For that matter how do you compute this probability of any two things being confused in general, much less by a specific person?  

2. Protocol is neither here nor there.  Obviously protocol failed

3. What is the indication?  How do you know what level of panic the 26 years veteran has, or should have? What is the level of panic that would preclude accidents?  Does mistake require panic?    Are no mistakes made when people are not panicked?  

4. Again, do you have to be in a panic (by whatever definition or measure) to make a mistake or have an accident? Trained responders can have very high stress levels without changing their tone or voice,  so how do you measure panic with certainty from the body cam?

You pointed out it is unbelieve TO YOU, for whatever reason.   I pointed out it is not only entirely believable to me, but the it is Indeed the only explanation supported by any evidence so far, so the only one that can be believed.
