A few points to clear up before this thread goes any further:
• The officer should have never been in a position to have his taser taken away from him, and by a 45yr old woman at that. Once he drew his weapon he should’ve been at a distance which put him out of her reach. By him struggling with her with his taser in his hand face to face with her, he allowed her the opportunity to take it from him, and due to his ineptness and incompetency as a man and a police officer, she succeeded in doing just that. All this is the result of him failing miserably to do his job correctly. And it resulted in a Black Woman’s murder.
• The cameraman says “popped her ass” after the officer first tases the woman, not after the officer shoots her. Stop trying to over-blow his words into some faux sensitivity crusade of shame against him. You sound like idiots. And expecting him to physically get involved? You’re borderline mentally retarded and posses the reasoning capabilities of a 5yr old child.
• Even when she had the taser, the officer was still in NO danger, let alone in a “life or death” situation requiring him to use deadly force. The firing mechanism of the taser does not allow for it to be fired, dropped, picked back up, and fired again..which is what would have had to happen for the officer to be tased. Considering he is trained to know that weapon in and out, it is safe to say that he was fully aware of the ineffectiveness of the taser once she gained possession of it - yet he still chose to unload five bullets into her.
• Many people are foolishly asking “what could he have done, otherwise?” He could’ve used his strength and training as a man to regain control of his taser and physical subdue her. I could do that, and I’ve never been a police officer a day in my life. Ask yourself this, what do the UNARMED officers in the UK do when faced with knife wielding suspects or people who take their tasers from them? Need I post a few YouTube videos to answer your baseline stupid ass question of “what could have been done differently after she got the taser”..?
