Unless they decided, as has been suggested that he was out of range of the policeman's taser, ergo they too were out of range of his taser and thus he was not a real threat to them? You have one last guess...

If this is what people want sure then what's the point in laws and more so why even have a police force..... People really are showing how thick they really are....

For every 10k arrests 3 black people die and for every 10k arrests 4 white people die, given the over representation of African Americans in serious violent crime, the difference is starker. The stats knock the idea of institutional racism in the police on it's head, that does not mean reform is not needed but people are pretending this is more than it is for ideological reasons, narcissism, middle class kids needing a cause and a bandwagon of righteousness. Ultimately the losers will be African Americans, who'll have less policing, less business and jobs locally and be left suffer the consequences.
