How the fuck do you grab a tazer and think it's a gun? I mean seriously.


Even if it was an accident, how can you allow a guy like that to have a gun and even be able to make that mistake? Someone has to take the fall for this.

Did you watch the video that shows when the kid was shot? It was the 3rd video on the player I think. You can see the kid on the ground, 2-3 cops on him...then the one cop reaches for his gun, puts it in his back...fires. Other cops jump away.

Some tazers are shaped like pistols

maybe he wasn't resisting, but he wasn't compliant. but the cop royally fucked up though, no reason to shoot the kid.

I know an officer that was involved in a foot chase and accidentally drew the wrong weapon, got his service weapon instead of his taser and shot somebody. In the heat of the moment, things can go wrong...














having said that...I believe the cop that shot that guy knew he drew his Gun and intentionally shot the victim. I usually try to defend Cops, since I'm about to be one...but that Officer looked to me to be in the wrong and should face criminal charges on top of being terminated.

regardless, tasers can be lethal too, seems to me drawing of any weapon was unreasonable seeing as they had him down on the ground already.
