Maybe watch the actual video before you make idiotic comments like this. You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. And other low information viewers take what you are saying and parrot it without even the slightest research, and then it becomes fact.
You are about as well informed as @323MAR. Maybe a bit of research before you just make things up ?
I am not familiar with body cams, but I was instructed to say what needed to be said in front of witnesses during and after a shooting at a municipal training academy.
Sorry about that! I stand corrected on that. It's even worse then! In that instant, she decided to shoot him in anger(this does happen) and pretended to go for the Tazer yo cover it up.
May you reap all of the good will you sow in the new year.
We clearly do not agree. That's perfectly fine! Your respectful tone is appreciated. I sent further details on the training via PM.
First off I'm definitely not one to immediately take cops side on anything as I personally feel too many are bullies and feel they are the law instead of law enforcement . That said I know nothing about this female cop , she may be a bad cop or one of the good cops . What I do know is in this instance she clearly made an honest mistake that anyone could have made under the right circumstances . It was definitely a situation where the punk needed to be apprehend then and there . I think she was torn or confused , whatever , as to whether she needed to have her Taser out or her handgun . I was in a similar situation recently removing a cranked / methed up zombie from a shed behind an elderly friends house . Should I be ready to pepper spray if he attacks without a weapon or since he keeps trying to reach in his jacket pocket have my pistol on him ??? I definitely wasn't going to get in a wrestling match with him . That is exactly what I think happened , she initially thought the appropriate tool was a firearm and at the last second her brain said use the taser and she reacted without regrouping . Another point is if she had not thought it was a taser and known it was her gun she was justified in using what ever force she had to use . I personally hope she gets a light sentence and wish nothing but bad for the prosecutor .
Your explanation is a good theory. You might actually be right.
You fight like you trained and train like you fight . I know it's hard to comprehend if you have never been in that situation but your muscle memory and trained response to the threat is doing one thing while your brain is doing another. I'm not mentally challenged , well at least not severely but I have been in stressful situations where my brain said to do one thing but my instincts or training did another . Would have, could have, should have is always after the fact . Yesterday a 14 year old was accidentally shot through a dressing room wall , I don't know if the cop was a jerk or not . Should he/ she have taken better aim or not even shot ? I don't know the circumstances but I know it was tragic and hope and pray the situation is investigated fairly and politics is left completely out of it . The percentage of good cops versus bad cops will be more leaning towards bad or unqualified if we keep making it hard on the ones who are trying the best they can in bad situations .
