oh noes! his left foot is OD'ing, quick! amputate it
Basically, imagine if you had a 'non-lethal' means of self-defense. This mode of defense rolls two six sided dice. If either die rolls a 3 or lower, the attack fails. If the total comes out below an 8, the attack fails.
Would you trust that weapon to defend your life?
you roll a dice?
When did reality become D&D?
do i get + points from my charisma buff?
No. 😛
But I mean, that's the taser dilemma in a nutshell.
You've got a low chance of it actually working
you get bitched at by the media for using it
you get bitched at by the media for not using it.
I mean, the media was talking about some guy at a felony traffic stop having a 'shotgun' pointed at the suspect.
media is damned if you do, damned if you dont
as long as they can rake in profits and don't get attacked
Never mind the fact that the shotgun they were pointing had a green buttstock, indicating that it was loaded with non-lethal rounds
I.E. beanbags
Meanwhile, Metokur covering a protest in Chicago right now
Where people are playing in the freeway.
roadkill for detroit?
10 points
Metokur's already talking about how CocaCola should counter the old rioter pepsi ads
by just running a coke truck through the crowd...
Moments before a Coca-Cola truck of peace
do i hear a loud car off in the distance?
lel
thats killzone
Anyway, if a suspect's on the ground not moving, I see zero reason to swap taser for gun and start shooting. Also, I heard gunshots before the tasered man even hit the ground.
Maybe I missed the specific, can you link me?
Just a sec, will try to find.
Aaaand that's an example of police officers fucking up.
Ever notice how cops generally call 'Tazer Tazer Tazer'?
Yeah... the cops with live rounds were standing around, high adrenaline, suddenly he's hit by a tazer and his hands go down rapidly. Other cops started shooting.
uhh the cop further away wasn't even aiming
the one that's back to camera you can't really tell
They do?
Often times, yeah.
It's an alert to other cops that a taser is being deployed
I didn't see any real communication between the cops in that scenario
so what the fuck was that video
He announces twice he's gonna taze the suspect
