why do cops even carry Tasers if they aren't going to use them?

Good. No one died.

frick the headlines. If I were that cop, the headline would have read as follows:
"Suspect shot, killed after pistol-whipping officer"
"Suspect shot, killed after pistol-whipping officer"

it's a damn shame he didn't put two in the thugs chest. hopefully the attempted murder charges stick

the only thing the perp is getting is a light sentence and mad street cred

So our options are one dead, unarmed assailant? Or a cop with an arse whoopin?
Did he do his job and call in the plate? Has the assailant been identified and captured? Is everybody alive?
Sounds like a happy ending, though I'm sure most here would have preferred someone to die.

Would have been fine also.

Shooting him doesn't necessarily mean he'd die. Most likely, yea.

ARE YOU HAPPY, AMERICA?!?!?!

I remember when this video was posted last week.
The perp was captured and the officer is alive. Now the actual justice system can do what it's designed for instead of a cop playing judge, jury, and executioner. Seems like a win/win to me.

Yep, what a great ending for this guy. All he had to do was take a severe beating so he wouldn't be accosted by mindless BLM drones who's sole purpose in life is to portray dead thugs as little college-bound angels who wouldn't do nuffin to nobody.

Where else in the world does 12% of the population get this much attention.
F them, let'em riot.
Not going to end well for them in the end.

Yep, and the MSM will not come out and support this thug but they'll somewhat sympathize and say they can see why he did it.

I think of the same thing when I read stories like this. If someone appears to be unarmed, shouldn't the first line of defense be a taser?

It scares me that people as stupid as you can vote.

Sometimes you are the bug,
sometimes you are the windshield.
