Are you saying you believe the officer made a conscience decision to use his firearm on the suspect instead of mistaking his firearm for his tazer?
Personally, I'd like to see the shooting from another perspective, perhaps from the mini-cam of one of the other police officers on the scene. From the available footage in the OP, it's difficult to determine conclusively if the officer who shot the man was the same officer who picked the gun up off the ground. But if it was the same police officer, it's difficult for me to believe he didn't know he had his gun in his hand and not his tazer. But again, the video footage doesn't show which of the officers on the scene fired the shot. All we know is whomever did it quickly realized their mistake.
No I'm saying that a taser can kill a guy too. If they had enough force to control him they shouldn't be using either one.
