This is Total BS. The Cop was instinctively reacting to self-defense and training. In the manner of microseconds of being fired on the cop returned fire to take the threat down.

Self defense is his God-given right. If some intoxicated crazy man points a taser at me and tries to use it, I’ll shoot him too.

[kaehurowing]

How about justified homicide?

[Bogey78O]

They have a new legal theory that makes every use of lethal force a charge if felony murder.

The Moderator here at FR doesn’t think this is Front Page News. I totally disagree.

Paul Howard is just playing to the crowd. Paul is an electe3d idiot and has been for years.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Oh, hell, no!

[Java4Jay]

The Cop did his job now they want to hang him because some think it’s socially/politically incorrect,

[E. Pluribus Unum]

It was a justified self-defense shooting, but we live in a post-reality universe.

If I punched cops faces, fought with them on the ground, took one of their weapons and used it against them, I Wouldn’t Expect to live another day here on Earth.

The week before, six cops were charged and fired for Aggravated assault against two students sitting in an automobile.
(In the same city)

And that was after they, the students tried to take off in the car!

Now this guy wrestles with the cops, runs away after depriving one of the cops of his taser .. shoots at the cop with the taser and ... all if a sudden, Aggravated assault against a Leo is not even mentioned!?

Aggravated assault Aggravated assault is an attempt to cause serious bodily harm to an individual with disregard for human life.

All these Black/Brown lives killed by Cop have one common denominator - They resisted arrest

[Eagles6]

I would think that any cop with an IQ above room temperature in a dem run city is thinking of other career options at the moment.

[Cottonpatch]

I’m sorry for those cops. They should have called EMS or a supervisor. In today’s world evil is called good and good is evil. Cops cannot do their jobs and shouldn’t try past a normal try...there are people who are trying to set cops up.
Those young police ruin their life and family’s life for no good reason. These people are back on the street before cops get finished with paperwork..

[kaehurowing]

Why would anyone want to be a cop in today’s atmosphere. Your options are do nothing and get sued for dereliction of duty. Do nothing and get killed. Do your job or defend yourself and potentially get charged with police brutality or murder.

[Renkluaf]

Apparently the officer just completed (April) training on the issue. Did he follow protocol?

[I want the USA back]

If that cop is charged it’s all over. Cops jailed for self defense. Time for cops to strike, and stay struck. And no exceptions to protect democrat politicians.

[coaster123]

Looked to be a good shoot.

Wake up, go to work and the next thing you know your mug is laser engraved on the moon and you’re labeled a sub human racist pig. Maybe many years behind bars.

Too bad for you, officer.

[The_Media_never_lie]

I thought about this and concluded that if the cop lets the criminal hit him with the taser and is subdued, and the criminal defeats the other cop and gets his gun, there are potentially two dead cops. Is it rational for the cop to allow this to happen?

Why was the guy fighting the cops? Isn’t that a dangerous strategy?

[deadrock]

Hopefully, the cops go on strike, one and all.

Angela Corey wannabe? Didn’t work to overcharge George Zimmerman.
