Pulling a gun instead of a taser is a mistake. But her actions led to her killing someone. Officer fully deserves to be fired and charged for manslaughter. You really want an officer “serving and protecting” when they so easily mistook a taser for a gun?

Nope. My comment was not a commentary on this case, but more of a general statement of displeasure with overburdensome government regulation.
The man should not have tried to jump back in his car nor resisted. The police officer should have been trained sufficiently to be able to tell the difference between a loaded 9mm and a taser.

So you saying black people can't be held accountable for anything?
Sounds racist.

Please point me to anything I've said that would make you think that what I was implying.

You replied with holy shite to a rather rational and logical breakdown.

I mean, yeah.
This is a pretty embarrassing anecdote on the quality of LEO we have in this nation. I’m honestly baffled this mistake could even be made by someone that has ever fired a Glock.

Absolutely agree. I never said she shouldn’t be fired.
Manslaughter? Not sure about that.
Again, when you fight the cops being killed is always a possibility. It’s a low probability but it happens.
It’s just like covid. Certain people believe we shouldn’t have any risk at all from covid. We aren’t safe until there is zero risk from covid. It’s an absurd proposition.
Same here, some people think you should be able to fight the cops without any risk. Why? Does the cop have zero risk to their life?

I'm choosing to believe it wasn't a mistake and this is just the cover story they came up with.

Because you would need a unanimous jury to believe the officer would not have been justified in using lethal force in that situation, even though the officer clearly made a mistake. Just my initial impression.

I disagree, you would only need to prove the negligence which seems fairly easy.

definitely crossed my mind
I think the initial quote I’ve seen from the shooter seems to indicate this really might be supreme incompetence though. Officer said “I’ll tase you” multiple times then went all :O when she realized she had shot him

It's the path progressives are on.
All actions by black people are caused by white supremacy.

If she didn’t mean to pull the taser and she pulled the gun and said she thought he was reaching for a gun what would your thoughts be?

So you’re saying she wanted to kill him, but didn’t want to be charged with homicide, so she yelled taser three times before shooting?

has the video been posted here yet? I'm 95% sure the female cop grabbed her gun instead of the taser
Posted on 4/12/21 at 2:17 pm to WaWaWeeWa
AT A MINIMUM, she unlawfully discharged her firearm, resulting in a negligent homicide. Pretty sure that is always a fire-able offense

I'm not here to argue over hypothetical situations.
However in that situation, I imagine we would be looking a lot closer at where the other cops were grabbing him, whether or not he had a weapon, the status of the passenger, etc... With nothing else different, my initial take would be that it is a bad shoot considering the proximity to other people around them and no evidence of imminent threat to their lives.

Well I think it’s 100% proven she grabbed the gun as opposed to the taser as she shite him with a gun and not a taser.
