There really was no need to shoot him.

Why does it matter if he has a taser? He was running away, and his car is at the Wendy's. They know who is. Just catch up with him later or after backup has arrived if it's so concerning.

Seems like it's a good idea then!



Maybe, maybe not. Hard to say since tasers can incapacitate an officer. There were other people too so discharging a firearm may be a bit reckless. Regardless, you can't resist arrest and grab an officer's weapon. I don't fault the officers on this one.

Why should lethal force be justified in a non-lethal situation?

Because he successfully stole an officer's weapon and attempted to discharge it. Imagine if he hit an officer with it and then took his gun. That is a realistic scenario and I'm not sure any amount of training could help steer an officer into making the split second decision that properly balances public safety. There's momentum to reform the police right now and we should focus on the low hanging fruit IMO.

By the police's own words, a taser is non-lethal. The guy was running away from them, so it's hardly a split-second decision. The two officers were clearly unable to subdue him by themselves, and this was BEFORE he had one of the officer's tasers.

Let the man run, and follow him from a distance so you can keep up with his whereabouts, and call in backup.

There's literally no way that continuing that situation by chasing him wouldn't necessarily lead to the unjustified use of lethal force. What are those two officers going to do? They tried to physically subdue him together, and it didn't work. Now the guy has one of their tasers. So what's the plan then? Try and subdue him AGAIN?

What are you talking about?

10 unarmed black people were killed by police this year.

By comparison 110 unarmed black people were killed by constipation this year.

These protesters should be put down as the degenerates they are until they decide to be civil about their beliefs.

I'm pretty sure someone is going to dox me someday. I'm just glad my boss is a blackpill old boys culture dude.

Kind of funny that the only person really with a history of doing something like that is njaguar.

Also, nobody cares about PaRD. You think anyone cares about what's posted here and think us worthwhile? Not a chance. We're just a bunch of degenerates who cling to a dying subforum for a game we used to play more than a decade ago, and for whom the comfort of at least feeling you're familiar with who posts in PaRD is better than the black hole abyss that is other posting forums/Reddits that have thousands of daily users.

Don't resist arrest, assault a police officer, steal his weapon, and then fire on him. This is really basic stuff.

The man was armed with a demonstrated willingness to attack others. The police cant be expected to "follow from a distance" in the hope that he gives up peacefully at a later date.

Who said anything about him "giving up peacefully at a later date".

There's no reason a DWI should escalate to the point that someone gets killed.

Tell that to the dude who resisted arrest, fought with the cops, stole a multi-shot taser, and fired the multi-shot taser at the cops.
