Just an FYI.... wield means to use.When someone gets tased they collapse or die. The cops claim they tased this guy 2x before he walked to his vehicle.
Really, just like that?...Well real world application would disagree. Many veterans of policing would probably laugh at your obviously uninformed statement. No malice intended just a bit of amusement at all too common armchair expertise.
Here are some real world taser effectiveness percentages from departments around the country.

Atlanta 67.8%
Charlotte-Mecklenburg 69.7%
Columbus 77.3%
Dallas 68.0%
Denver 73.6%

Fort Worth 62.4%
Houston 73.7%
Indianapolis 54.7%

I especially find Axon's claims that their tasers are more effective at stopping a violent perp than a .357 mag more than a little eyebrow raising.
The report said he was tased twice. I believe that would increase his odds. But then he walks off with almost a strut to his step. He isn't in any obvious duress. That's why it's hard to believe they attempted to tase him with a police taser.
I've been tased. It's no joke. I was practicing with my ex husband who was a boarding officer for drug seizures with a taser he bought for me to have while he was deployed. He wouldn't keep a gun in the house because he was a cheater and knew I would have pulled it on him.
But I still don't think a taser misfiring is justified by shooting someone in the back 7x.
Ignoring orders and then reaching in the car IS. That absolutely IS a very solid reason to shoot this rapist piece of shit.
He was able to stop and put his hands on the car and peacefully comply. He chose to open the door and reach.
I just posted a video that shows how fast a gun can be grabbed from a car and police can be shot. He should not have reached into the car. Why should police put themselves and others in an even MORE dangerous situation in some fucked effort to make sure the rapist they are trying to arrest doesnt get a boo boo while violently resisting arrest?
BLM punishes innocent people because police enforce the laws that keep them safe. They hate regular law abiding citizens.
