The argument will be that the taser only has. limited range and it non-leathal, so they should have let him run or kept distance. They had his information and could have rounded him up later. Total bullshite but that will be the argument.

Make sure to thank that white liberal woman for setting that Wendy’s ablaze in response. I’m guessing some of the workers there are black, and now they’re out of a job because of her. Bet she’s bragging about what she did to all her woke friends.

An effective choke hold could have ended this altercation

That officer was extremely nice and compassionate towards him.
He even asked about his condition.
They don't want to do this.
You can't point a weapon at the police and expect differently.
Enough is enough. It's time to stand up to the mob. He doesn't deserve to be fired. What the world.

Do some googling on taser deaths involved with law enforcement.

All of us need to remember that we all have only one recourse on the side of the road. That recourse is knowing your rights and knowing the law. Know what rights you have and what the law says about you, and, just as importantly, know what rights the officers have and what the law says about them.
Other than knowledge of the law and of your rights, you have no other recourse on the side of the road. You can not fight them on the side of the road. You're outnumbered, outgunned, and it will not end well. Your only defense is knowledge, and if you do not have it, or you refuse to use it, the likelihood of things going bad is high.
Court is where your recourse lies. However, if you are dead, you will not get the chance to fight them in court.

Had the guy shot the cop with the taser he could have disarmed the cop and shot them both.
He was going to get shot no mater what.
The cop felt his life was in danger had he been hit with the taser.
It was a justified shot.

Exactly. What the hell is he even arguing for?
Can people not see how scary this situation was.

He could have had a gun and shot the cop in the dick and the reaction would have been the same. Justified shootings don't matter anymore

I’d say BLM is not simple.
Social Media the national media tells us BLM just wants black lives to matter as much as other lives.
Then when BLM takes a city hostage with rioting or with these autonomous zones, their leadership puts out a list of ridiculous demands, such as: abolish polish, retrial for all AA’s, release all prisoners in for drug charges, affordable housing, free healthcare, and reparations.

You have to neutralize the situation

That's how you get shot by the cops. They were nothing but professional with that guy.

You would have been saying precisely this if it had been your son or brother or father that had been shot.

Taking the emotional position and overriding logic with it isn’t a convincing argument.

Insane that people are even questioning this shooting
I think it's fair to question the use of lethal force over him stealing their taser. The victim certainly was in the wrong and escalated the entire situation himself, but was lethal force really necessary there? Were the officers' lives in immediate danger? There's certainly an argument that they didn't know his intentions after stealing the tazer and running, but again is that justification for lethal force?
I obviously don't think this one has the egregious nature of the George Floyd or Eric Garner killings, but I also don't think it's a clear cut justified killing.

True. But know that if you do your jail time will triple. At least nobody got killed.

That cop that was fired is about to get paid.
