Try again.
The Officer was already responding to his being a significant threat.
That is where you went wrong again, he isn't a criminal.
:doh
Do you or do you not realize that he knows he is being recorded. (as confirmed by the witness who was recording)
Do you or do you not realize that he knows the taser cartridge fires out many id tags which indicates where it was deployed.
Do you, or do you not realize that it is protocol for Officers to secure their weapons?
Do you or do you not realize that he then picked it up after dropping it?
Do you or do you not realize that he had just experienced a traumatic experience?
It is absolutely absurd to think he was planting the taser.
"Safe rule if thumb…if someone tries to tell you a cop murdered someone in broad daylight, on a public street, in front of who knows how many witnesses, with no chance in hell of getting away with it, stop and think about what it is they are asking you to believe. No doubt, there are bad cops out there, but that doesn’t mean they are stupid. Heck, even non-cop criminals know better than that for the most part, except for the ones who don’t care if they get caught."
Holy ****! Wrong all the way around. You clearly know not of what you speak.
It was the X26. It was not non-functioning. It had two cartridges and could also be used with out them by drive stunning.
It the hands of a properly trained person it is nonlethal. In the hands of a non-trained person it is a significant threat, one that could be used against an officer to take his weapon, or against a civilian to take their auto. And could be used wrongly to inflict serious injury and cause death.
So stop talking about things you know nothing about.
Just stop. Your arguments are becoming more and more absurd.
1. Are you not paying attention? The taser.
2. No, his crime was resisting arrest and fighting with the Officer and taking his taser.
Wrong.
Already was.
1. Reloading is doesn't take effort. The cartridge is in the handle. And you have no idea if the Officer reloaded it before the suspect took it, or if the suspect reloaded it or if the secondary cartridge was lost during the fight.
Secondly if both cartridges were expended it can still be used to drive-stun, allowing the suspect to tase the Officer and take his firearm, or if he had been able to flee with it, used take a citizens vehicle.
This is your failure for not knowing about the taser.
This just shows you lack knowledge to even discuss this. It was the X26.
One cartridge loaded and one in the handle.
And it can also be used to contact stun.
And btw, it is already known that the cartridges used were the "green" 25ft lead length.
The spare in the handle was green as seen in the pull-over video.
