The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Then you can hear, shocked saying something like "oh my god I shot him.
when a suspect tries to escape, tasers are typically attempted to cease the fleeing.

I should note that some in the MSM are dutifully ignoring those details and focusing only on his being pulled over for expired tags (why would anyone drive around with expired tags when they have warrants out on them? ) and are calling it nothing more than his being shot for a DWB (Driving While Black).
And y'all wonder why there is such a growing distrust of the MSM.

That is fine, but she is entitled to due process, and the city manager should not have been fired for suggesting so. Now the mayor may fire the police chief for suggesting it was an accident (which it was). The mayor is a pandering pig...The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by Gondwanaland View PostThat indicates to me you don't knowwhat you are talking about. A wanted felon, with past gun charges, fought police and then went back into his car where a gun could be, or where he could then run over police and hit bystanders, but yeah "no threat". There was more than enough need to use a taser.
We cannot overlook the fact that female police are GENERALLY not as strong or big as the men they attempt to apprehend.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

but sure, I do take your point and personally think that's a problem in recent years in both policing and in the military with women. There are certainly a few women who can physically meet the requirements males can, but not many,and unfortunately they'vebeen lowering standards so they can get more women to look "woke"

A criminal, on the other hand, knows that he's more likely to get away from a woman than a man, so... off to the races. I am NOT against women in law enforcement, but I think it's important to deal with the realities.
As Dirty Harry would say, "A man has got to know his limitations". So must a woman.
