Officer pulls firearm, instead of taser

[Circle_10]

Ironically it is my choice to wear or not to wear a helmet when I ride my motorcycle and yet we have "Click it or Ticket" here.
It's simply a revenue source and it should be repealed.

Yep, so while the dumb asshole who got shot in the video wouldn't have gotten shot had he not been a dumb asshole, and the rookie girl cop wouldn't have shot him had she not been negligent/poorly trained or whatever...the traffic stop wouldn't have happened the first place had stupid revenue grab-based laws not been in effect.
I sometimes go right back to the "original sin" in situations like this.

It’s just another revenue source, i.e. selective tax.

dude of course had to pull his your not pulling over whites idiocy ?

to bad the shot was not fatal !!!! guy was a piece of garbage anyway

and yeah she was a idiot cop ? no idea had to hire a women ? did she have a complex ? who knows who cares cause that to me looked like bad training as the base NOW if she has prior issues with being a tough cop ? then its the perfect storm I reckon and sure she feared big dude getting the upper hand on the other cause he was kinda dominating for a bit
if I was on the jury I might side with the cops on this one

anytime someone over a belt ticket gets out and fights a cop that means they are OK to kill you that is how I see a fight against a LEO because I have seen that end result happen more than once sadly


stand up for your rights !
but comply with laws that control our privileges ! fight those other ways not physical !

Our tasers are meant to be drawn with the support hand so this doesn't happen.

Been a Taser Instructor for 8 years and have never been taught this by Taser. I have seen video of departments that do this. Most of use the cross draw. People do strange things under stress. David

Yeah they bought us support hand holsters so you can't mount it on your belt to be drawn strong hand. Also to leave your strong hand open incase you need to draw the fiream. They made our policy so strict on tasers, there is no reason to even carry it.

The majority of the police shootings always start with the public taking a stand against the officer on principle.

1- F these stupid laws. If you are driving safe, there should not be BS laws with primary stops for open container, no seatbelt, etc. if they are unsafe, whatever, pull them over for that. People are driving around on motorcycles, using the road on bicycles, and in classic cars without seatbelts. Quit being assholes about shit like this. If no street LEOs enforce stuff like this at all, they can’t replace all of you. Sure, the LEO in the video was professional and courteous, but the end message is going to be shooting people in the streets over not wearing a seatbelt.

2- don’t be a total dumbass and get in a fight with LE over said stupid laws. If you want to be a caricature of a stereotype of being stupid with no impulse control and an inability to act like a civilized human, do it on private property and not the public roadway. They can’t make enough movies like Save the Last Dance or Finding Forrester to make up for incidents like this. Quit being dumbasses and jacking stuff up. Thousands of people from the whitest states in the country just decided to get their concealed carry after this video because of those scary, out of control black people.

3- if you plug someone with your partner as a backstop, when you meant to tase them, it goes without saying you are too stupid to say the perp was on top of your partner pummeling his head into the pavement and you took a risky shot to save his life. The public perception of the average IQ of LE is not that good, but much of the public thinks only you and the military should have firearms because of your training. Then you go and pull your pistol instead of a taser. Then when it could have been a good shoot scenario, jack that up.

The video could not have been better propaganda for BS government overreach laws, dumb LEOs, and minority unfavorable stereotypes if it tried.

Thank god it wasn’t an on call neurosurgeon in a rush to get to the hospital to save some kid that fell out of a tree on their head.
“Child dies while neurosurgeon delayed for not wearing his seatbelt and being black” if they were compliant,
Or
“Black Neurosurgeon short while trying to rush to hospital and save child for not wearing seatbelt”

[Firefly]

Lol but he wasnt a black neurosurgeon

Just take it up in court

You are swinging on people who already have weapons. What did he think was gonna happen?

The officer was just gonna accept that ass whipping?

[Hmac]

I always liked Ron White’s observation on the subject ... “I didn’t know how many guys it was gonna take to whip my ass, but I knew how many they were going to use...”.

Oh I am for sure not saying he was not a dumbass.

That seat belt law is stupid,
The dude throwing down over a seat belt stop is stupid,
And McTaser, I mean Dirty Tasey was stupid.

I remember the last time this happened, of course in that incident the guy was cuffed and in the back seat before the female deputy shot him TWICE with her Glock and then blamed taser because the taser looked too much like a Glock.
