IMHO. And scared people do stupid things. Witness all the dumb things the world has done during the COvID pandemic.<br />George W.

The officer could have stopped yelling (being amped up himself) and started to approach the man to de-escalate the situation. When another officer arrived (without lights and sirens), I can see how they could cuff him. If you want a non-lethal weapon, tranquilizing dart or even a net would shut things down.ChillFinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09040800950506055392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35852320.post-56329401371255891942021-11-21T20:34:34.798-05:002021-11-21T20:34:34.798-05:00Two observers see different things.

But I agree that such scenes need to be resolved without loss of life. But Tasers seem not to be the solution.George W.

The officer reneged and backed out. The perp came out a couple minutes later in just a tee shirt and slacks. Stood with his arms outstretched. Was told to lie down face down in the snow, he balked. How is any of this berserk? Is that a rationale as a threat worthy of applying deadly force? I think not….ChillFinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09040800950506055392noreply@blogger.com
