He was getting tased.
**********
Okay, why was he getting tased?
Wasn’t he in an altercation with the cop or that’s what I’ve read in some reports.
We don’t really know enough of the facts at this stage to get an accurate picture.
If he was fighting with the cop and the cop tased him and he ran away that isn’t
cause to shoot him, imo.
Would you just stand still and let a cop tase you? I would be trying to evade it anyway I could. A lot of people will run from a taser.
Supposedly this policeman had a previous complaint that he used a Taser when it was unjustified. The charges did not stick, but it sounds like it wasn’t justified in the previous case.
