Any results from a blood test of the officer?
So the blood tests changes whether the rich old man confused a pistol with a taser and wrongly killed a man?
It’s a little scary that a 73 year old wannabe officer who donated a descent amount to the sheriff’s department, I believe, confused a gun for a Taser and killed someone.
Not gonna matter.
There is no redemption for the guy who can’t tell the difference between a gun and a taser. Maybe he shouldn’t have been so quick to go for the collar when he could have followed or made an arrest later.
44 years old and still too stupid to not consume crap made with battery acid and drain cleaner.
The black thug was on drugs. Go figure. But I’m sure he was turning his life around!
That methed-up criminal, Eric Harris perhaps thought that he could do his Knockout King hit on deputy Bob Bates’ chin and take him out in one punch. I guess, with a mind fried on meth, things don’t work out the way you think they will. They never do.
Meth or no the cop screwed up, and shot someone he had no right to shoot. I don’t think anyone believes it was intentional but all the same a mistake was made and someone died.
The only thing of real interest to me is if you recall when tazers first appeared on cop’s belts PD’s said they were only supposed to be used in lethal force situations, not to gain compliance. If that promise had been kept this shooting would not have occurred.
