Let’s see: Repeated commands to lie down. Tasers are effective? Maybe not. The alternative is a wrestling match that the cop may not win. If the perp is stronger the cop loses his life. No brainer.
I agree. The guy was advancing toward him in an aggressive manner and ignoring commands. If he got within 15 feet I’d have shot too.
Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
That’s the way I see it. When I was small, my mother told me never to play in traffic. Guess the deceased missed that lesson or forgot about it.
