I read this story this morning. The “cop” was 73 yrs. old, and his real job is an insurance executive.
He thought he fired his taser, but it was his gun.
Watching the video, it didn’t seem like a taser shot was needed at that point in time.
Why is it that the government is all about “proportional response” in everything except policing? Maybe we should let the police run the military. The Middle East would look like the surface of the Moon in days.
But seriously, I’d like to know how any reasonable person can think that even an incredibly fit 73 year old person has the reflexes and mental speed and agility of someone even 20 years younger. I don’t believe that this person meant to do this and certainly it will probably ruin the “golden years” of his life even if he “gets off” legally.
This would not be my first choice of work post retirement.
yeah. From what I saw on the video, they had enough cops on him to eat him.
