Topic	Officer who shot suspect that tazed police has been fired.
Zodd3224 06/15/20 12:03:50 AM #51:	Solid Snake07 posted... He clearly turns to point the taser at the officer while he's running and maybe even fired it, which sadly cost him his life. You can sit here and play Monday morning quarterback all you want and say it wasn't a lethal threat but all of this goes by in the blink of an eye when you're involved. This man was drunk, had already not only fought officers but wrestled a weapon away from them, then turned to aim that weapon at them while fleeing. I agree that it's sad this man had to die over a god damn dui, but there's no gross misconduct here. It's a tragic series of events that shouldnt have escalated to the point that it did. He was literally still running away from them as the cop was shooting at him. There is no justification for shots being fired at a fleeing subject unless he is firing a gun at you while he is running. If the taser is that much of a threat to you call in backup and if he gets away you pick him up in the morning and charge him with DUI and assaulting police officers. But you dont shoot him, thats insanity. --- #1 Buctriots Fan! https://youtu.be/MjJSK0Rcv1w <cite>Zodd3224 posted [p:940687732] in Officer wh...
