“So I’m no longer at “he’s a murderer.” I’ve dropped back to leaning guilty, rather than guilty. Open to evidence on either side, of course.”
There’s hope for you. Just don’t pre-judge until all the facts are in. You can see what pre-judging did in Ferguson against that Cop. Plus, if you had an 8 month pregnant wife at home, and you had been on the police force for 5 years without a strike aaainst you, except for an accusation by another black male with a record as to use of a tazor for which he was found justified to use, do you think you would be arbitrarily plugging someone just for chuckles? No you’d want to be going home in peace to your wife and family that night for dinner. So, as I said, we will see. I too will keep an open mind if all the facts point otherwise after both sides have been heard from. By the way, I still smell a whiff of Libeertarian on you, lol.
On Conservative Treehouse there is a screengrab that shows the suspect on top of the officer, who is prone, in the very first frame of the video. Then, upon standing and continuing to fight the suspect, the officer has a taser wire in his chest and another in or around his leg. As they break contact, the officer draws his pistol and begins firing, taser leads still embedded in him. If the suspect had the taser at that point he can still administer incapacitating shocks to the officer from up to 35 feet.
Libeertarian = Libertarian above. Typo. Time to go take a snooze.
