'I’m not a trained police officer and I would not shoot a person who was already out of my yard and running in the street away from me. They had the man’s information. They know where he lives and works. They had his vehicle. Where was he going to go?'

That is why training is needed to take over the gut emotional reaction of force.

It is easy to see people resort to violence over a stupid parking space at the mall.

Now, throw in a violent confrontation with another individual. The emotions at times cloud judgement, by both men. People decided to flee or fight.

Training tempers such reactions, and create 'logical'[SOP's, don't shoot fleeing person] responses.

Honestly if I saw that taser coming at me I would run also. It would be involuntary. I can’t even imagine getting tasered.
