    Moral of the Story: 1) Don't resist arrest.
    2) Don't fight with the Police.
    3) Don't take the officers equipment that can be used to immobilize him while you take his gun.
    4) Don't run.

    Personally, I would like to see Police Departments triple the number of K-9 officers. Guy wants to take a tazer and run, he needs to hope he can out run officer bites-a-lot.

    would lethal force be justified if he tasered a police dog?

    the media could unite America with a story about a thug who hurt a pet.

    ?? Again, whether he has had priors is not an issue in this case.

    He wasn't murdered because of child molestation charges.

    And, I don't care what color of skin the sheriff of some other location in GA has. WTF does that have to do with it??

    Also, that sheriff commented on the possibility of the victim actually hitting the policeman. But that threat NO LONGER EXISTED at the time of the murder.

    I'm not usually in a panic over unarmed guys running away from me.

    I mean, seriously.

    Because you are not a cop chasing a felon.

    Really?

    If I were a cop I'd be so afraid of an unarmed person running away that I'd just have to kill him?

    Being afraid has nothing to do.with it. Apparently you are paralyzed by your fear of fear.

    Let me clue you in. A.cop has a duty to stop a fleeing felon because a felon is a danger to innocent people. If you do not want to get gunned down by the cops then don't resist arrest. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

    He was first snoozing behind the wheel to than fleeing with a non lethal weapon.
    Do note... cops themselves get tasered as part of their training.
    So there is no possible way there was any immediate threat to anybody.

    How you fail to have any empathy for executing a guy who was only snoozing in his car, is beyond anybody.

    You're just crying all over the place how incredible dangerous it all is ... while cops get tasered as part of their training to have a feel what it does and that's quiet safe.... debunking your entire argument. You want me to post vids how cops are trained with tasers?

    That is about if a weapon "is considered likely to cause death" and a taser is not. Cops get tasered themselves as part of their training. And they wouldn't do that if it's likely that they could be killed.

    Oh good lord. The entire article is about tasers, and here you are contesting that the representative talks about tasers. This is truly pathetic.

    Not from a legal standpoint when the individual in question has a blood alcohol level over twice the legal limit.

    And yet such is done every single day. The only way to prevent such from occurring is to disarm law enforcement officers entirely. Many law enforcement officers have only a ten percent accuracy rating in most circumstances.

    You left out the important part about the black criminal:
    "The criminal had already demonstrated 'cause' to seriously hurt when he fought and punched the cop and grabbed the 'available' weapon to use for hurt."
    No correlation because the thief was unarmed, had not committed an assault, the thief was white, and the correlation is the thief was shot in the back while fleeing. And that Georgia case ended in acquittal.

    He was serving a seven year prison sentence for physically abusing his own children. The only reason he was given early parole was due to the coronavirus epidemic.

    Such is ultimately not how the law of the united states works. Once one demonstrates that they are a threat, they remain classified as a threat until they are apprehended and neutralized. A suspect who has been discharging a firearm in the direction of others does not automatically cease being a threat during the periods in which they are not discharging a firearm.

    And then what? Since are police officers require to let people caught DUI walk away? Do they do that at the DUI checkpoints? Anyone who blows over .08 gets to lock their car and walk home? Because of this one idiot violent criminal we are all supposed to make our streets and highways more dangerous?

    So, one simple question.

    Based on the above, if we converted every worker in the country to a "cleaner" and paid them $1,000 a day, the GDP would grow?

    Taking that a step further. Take a country with a high percentage workforce, with low unemployment. You are saying that if the governemnt treasury just printed more dollars and put more people to work their GDP would increase?

    The LOWEST EVER RECORDED and I don't see these people carrying signs demand jobs and how do you lower that gap when you burn down, loot and drive out the businesses that hire them? You want government make work jobs, requiring my money, Unwanted REAL jobs in the private sector which we had a surplus if before COVID.

    You went from being asleep in his car to executed, that is a lie of omission. Fill in what happened in between.

    When and where did you receive your training in administering and evaluating a field DUI test? He blew .108 THAT is the most important test.

    I heard a senses lawyer say it wasn't his TASER the guy had and fired. It was split second. It proved the criminal was willing to use lethal force were he allowed to escape a reasonable person would expect him to get even more lethal weapons. He knew he would be going to prison he was going to run and use lethal force to do so. It was totally justified.
