The guy that used it was far away

So that's why the others ran

Not every officer carries them

their safety would be ensured the moment he falls to the ground. The 6 foot rule or whatever it is called (I don't know either) is irrelevant if someone already has a taser or other weapon out, and if they didn't, then that is bad. If they want to negotiate then they should do so in court

what the fuck are you? an american cop?

Yeah negotiate after you've shot him?

Yes, regarding his sentence Dune

;)

Most black shooting happen in poor inner city's where crime is rampant and the shit those cops deal with is crazy

And 92% of black people are killed by other black people

Yeah poor NYC

The media just blows thing out of preportion

fake news

just like the original gif

I don't advocate for shooting people in the lung or the head, just for neutralizing threats. A bullet through the foot or a zap aren't neccessarily lethal. If someone rushes at a cop with the intent to kill and gets killed as a result, it is fair game imo

the attacker gets a taste of his own medicine, so to speak

you assume it is easy to just shoot someone non lethally

it's not

this isn't an action movie

Chaos, can you explain these difficulties?

shoot a moving target in the foot

try it

in the situation where they are rushing you or there is something else going on

it's an incredibly simplified and naive approach you are taking

also tasers are probably not as reliable as you think

the answer is you couldn't rogue

It has happened, many times. And shooting people is not just blam blam dead like a fucking action film.

No it isn't

10+ officers should have no problem hitting a leg or two, and if the target tries to attack, as I said, I hope they get a taste of their own medicine. neither the video nor image showed anything else going on. I agree that you shouldn't do it where it isn't applicable, but judging from the video nothing would have happened if any of the officers fired, the man did not move very fast besides at two or three points in the clip. I wouldn't see this method of approach failing in that specific case.

Unless, of course, the officers decided to fire at a bad time, which is their fault

I'm telling you that expecting resolution by some convenient method of takedown that also is non lethal is idiotic. These situations are not as simple as just taze them or shoot them in the foot. In practicality it is not reasonable to do such things with perfect confidence and a good outcome. Tasers are not the most reliable weapons either just so you know. It's fucking stupid of you two to criticise cops for being careful, why the fuck should they be pointlessly gungho to use force on the man at risk to themselves.

you criticised them for quickly moving away from the guy

it looked dumb, you are going to have to give better reason than that. If that's your problem then who gives a fuck

10+ officers having no problem

yea

but that means 10+ officers are all discharging weapons

what happens when most hit

if they all shoot him at the same time it will somehow work out

it's fucking idiotic

this is in reply to alibaba

you can fire in sequence
