Tulsa Police Sgt. Jim Clark, who investigated the shooting at the request of the sheriff's office, concluded that Bates had been under the influence of a phenomenon known as "slips and capture," which occurs when a person's behavior "slips" off the intended course of action because it's "captured" by a stronger response.
That might be the most made up bullshite I have ever heard

Why do we have a 73-year old armed civilian running around under color of state law?
I mean, THIS?!?!?
Is being a cop so simple that we can give a 73yr old insurance salesman a gun and a badge and tell him "Have fun" on the weekends?

I don't agree with that. Dude was definitely resisting.

I think the main reason we see this more often now is because everyone has a camera on their cell phones now.
I have a buddy that's getting out of the military and is going into law enforcement. I was talking to him this weekend and told him "ALWAYS be thinking that no matter what you're doing someone is probably recording it."

It's just sad. 73 year old should not have been in that position.

If at least 2-3 officers can't handle one guy already down in the street, they shouldn't be in the field.

I expect to see a murder charge.

This does not compute.
Eta. White cops can you please stop shooting black people who don't deserve it. Thanks

I have no issue with nonlethal force to subdue a person in that situation. Just because they could take him down without it, why not use your tools? Why should they risk grappling with the guy if they don't have to?

The dude was obviously not complying with the officers. I could see where a taser would be justified here but damn...
How do you confuse your taser with a gun? I've never held a taser before but he has to look at the damn thing to aim it before he shoots it right? What a dumbass. Maybe 73 years old is too old to be a reserve police officer.

Wasn't the BART case also about a cop using his service piece on accident thinking it was his taser?
Posted on 4/13/15 at 8:57 am to Shexter
Shouldn't they be trained to know which is which without even thinking. Taser on my right gun on my left

Even if that's the case, wouldn't someone that is trained know exactly where their taser is and exactly where their pistol is? Seems like you would have them on opposite sides of their belt and the only way you would grab the wrong one is if you are severely untrained.

Are they really fired from the hip? I'm pretty sure you have to look down them and aim it like a gun. At which point you realize it's a Neon Yellow Taser, not a gun.

maybe you're on to something chicken, even if its on a small level for whatever reason every single person seems like they have the need to resist, they just can't simply comply at first request by the officer
to note, the old bastard was completely in the wrong here

I was going to start this thread when I got to work and title is F*** Your Breath, which is quoting the cop when the guy told him he couldn't breath.

it always seemed like asking for trouble, but you would still expect better from a trained professional that is allowed to carry a firearm.
