Me thinks you need some education.
Obviously. Several Freepers last night said that a taser looks and feels like a Glock. A pic was even posted.
Let’s put it this way. If this sort of error has happened before, the record seems to be strangely lost to us. If a normal mistake is a brain fart, this would have been explosive brain diarrhea. How long have there been practical Tasers? At least a decade?
Anyhow it’s a meme now. I hope there are not to follow a plethora of such mistakes. It should not be possible (and if it is, it needs to be corrected by redesign, pronto) to mistake a gun in hand for a Taser, with one’s eyes tight shut.
so Filo, it's looks like it's off to the re-education, indoctrination, camps for you.
Why did he feel the need to tase him in the first place? And don't say he was resisting. If he were, it was not evident, and if he was, it was the weakest, most pitiful, most girlie like resistance I have ever seen recorded.
Take the tasers away from cops. Too many die after being tased. Children are tased, elderly are tased, grandmas are tased, bed ridden 86yo grandma on oxygen tased, and now, a cop has claimed to mistake his pistol for a taser and executed a human being lying on his belly while two other cops held him down.
Don't even try to tell me the taser was justified, much less the gun.
