I think Scott grabbed the tazer and threw it to the ground, and the cop went into “He got my taser” mode, which includes: Hhe could use it against me and steal my gun and shoot me”, which is exactly the crappy training and mentality cops are given nowadays.
Once the cop starts the “return deadly force” rountine, he going to carry it out to the end, there is no “stop and think” built into the training. Cops are as stupid as their training.
Boot lickers are going to have a hard time jusrifing this one.
Unless something new appeared today, there is no reason to think that Scott ever had the taser.
“I think Scott grabbed the tazer and threw it to the ground, and the cop went into “He got my taser” mode,”
No. Something else fell on the ground. The cop *used* the taser on Scott after the object hit the ground. Scott never touched the cop’s taser.

The ‘struggle’ was the cop grabbing Scott’s wrist and Scott twisting away and continuing to run. Then the cop tased him, then shot him.
