This is a huge taser problem. Remember the BART shooting a couple years ago. The officer actually says “Taser, taser, taser” then shoots the guy with his pistol. Many agencies have mandated cross draw for taser, but I would like to see a move towards weak hand draw.
Fruitvale BART Station, Johannes Meherle, cop, Oscar Grant, victim.
Meherle was charged with 1st degree murder, but the charges were reduced to that of involuntary manslaughter by the jury.
Prosecutorial overreaching seems like part of the DA MO for cases such as these, when the real problems are much higher up the food chain. IMHO.
Another recent poor taser training case here:
