    Fleeing from the police should never be a justifiable reason to fire your weapon.

    The weapon is there to protect an officers life. Not as a tool of compliance

      When the town I lived in got tasers, we were told they would ONLY be a last resort, to keep an officer from needing to use a pistol to stop a threat. The very next quarter, their training mostly covered how to use it to get compliance from suspects…

        When I was with an ex of mine, the cops were at her house because her sister got attacked at school, as I walked down to the house one of the cops saw me, put his hand on his tazer and stared me down the whole time he was there.

      This seems to be EXACTLY what the police don’t understand.

      But if I’m being honest, I think the system is setup intentionally so that they blur the line.
