I’d have shot.

Please tell me you're not a working jackboot.

Anyone with eyes having seen the video sees the LEO in a shooting stance, feet about 12-18” apart, right foot to the rear. Hard to see how he was ‘tangled’ up in anything.

In parts of the video you can even see where the head holding the wires that connects to the taser body is dragging a few feet behind the victim. That’s probably why the officer’s taser shot didn’t work because the head pulled off and stopped zapping then.

So then we’re left with 8 shots fired at the victim’s back from a standstill stance.

If you were tangled in taser gear, and you didn’t have control of the launcher, you would shoot, or you would be a fool at least, and dead at worst.

Oh, and by the way, you were just in a foot chase, a wrestling match, and who knows what else, with a guy who has a warrant on him, and has run, and is obviously desperate.

Since you refer to police officers as “jackboots”, can I refer to the perp as a violent criminal thug? Seems fair.
