That doesn't make them any less of a threat to the officer, if anything it makes them more of a threat


Absolutely.

It's still sad though. It's not like the dude had intent, he's crazy. He's not really capable of malicious intent. He doesn't even know what's real.

Not if he was trying to force the slide into battery on a FTF.

Maybe with some sort of visible tattoo.

You'll never guess what happens next.

Police do not want you to see this video.

Etc. etc.

It's kind of sad. They don't really know what they're doing. There should be some sort of way to readily identify them for police encounters.

On top of that he had just driven his car into the water and had to be rescued by a good Samaritan. Which is why they were on the side of Hwy. 1 to begin with. He was acting very erratically. That said, the cops were well within their rights to shoot in that situation. Their aim is a bit questionable though. I think they only hit him in the leg. The full video is on LiveLeak if anybody wants to see it.

So he didn't know he was grabbing the officers taser and then turning it towards the officers?

Why did they fire all those rounds into him? Did they think he also might have a gun hidden? That would be the only reason.

I’m glad that the guy didn’t die and I hope he gets the help he needs. Very sad.

I usually always side with the cops, often they only have time to react. But this situation is different.
The guy had a taser. They could have ran him down, beat him with a night stick...
Didn't warrant firing 6 shots at the guy, AS HE RAN AWAY!!!
