    Aren't tasers yellow or have some sort of yellow colouring on them for this reason.

    Also with a quick search they are usually holstered on the opposite side to the firearm or lower down the leg sometimes on the front of the vest.


    I find it very hard to believe he didn't know the difference.

    "he"?

    How can you be so stupid that you pull a gun instead of a taser. But then again, these are American cops.

    If you've seen some of the tasers the cops use it's an understandable mistake. Why in the **** they issue gun-shaped tasers to be carried beside a gun and to be reached at and grabbed by feel isn't understandable.

    It's not supposed to be near the gun, Correct training would be the gun on your dominant side and the tazer on the other side so there is no mix up.

    Maybe, that's for a court to decide, but she did herself no favours with that tazer cock and bull story.

    So her shouting "Tazer, Tazer, Tazer" was all part of an act right :rolleyes: .

    You seem to have already made your mind up about the whole thing already.

    It was cold blooded murder right?

    She could have just shot him in the leg or arm instead of killing him. But ye another sad story in America in loving the cops. They never learn. The only way to solve this is to only have highly trained detectives have guns and take the guns off the rest of them. Let them have tasers and pepper spray and it will be less likely to happen again.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    If someone was standing over me with a revolver shouting "tazer tazer tazer", the first thing I would do would put my foot on the accelerator and get the fcuk out of there. Self preservation and all that.

    The picture shows she kept her finger off the trigger initially might be hard to prove anything but accident discharge ,
    Chance's are muscle memory caused her to automatically draw her pistol rather than the taser ,

    Well...what is the person reaching for? In the middle of being arrested, why do you suddenly jerk away from the police officer and try to get into the car??

    So a pair of unarmed policemen stop a car for going through a red light. They approach the car and the driver gets out and starts firing a legally held hand gun at them.
    What happens next?

    He did the right thing and got the hell out of there, but it was too late as she managed to fatally wound him anyway.

    Some have commented the problem is some tazers look the same as guns including colour. Poor guy certainly didnt deserve to get shot or die but he was being handcuffed then suddenly starts resisting and jumps into the car, in the ensuing struggle officer seems to believe they're pulling their tazer and only realises too late they had their handgun instead. It shocking but at the same time it brings up the question as to how the officer didnt realise they'd drawn the wrong weapon? Insufficient training? Weapons being too indistinguisable from one another? Questions do need to be asked as to what happened tho.

    Same thing as would happen here or in the UK they call in the detective unit or the SAU aka special arms unit or a QRA aka quick response unit.

    I just can never understand that. If you are not committing any crime, then why not just humour the police temporarily, don't give them any reason to arrest you are shoot you. It's really not that complicated. As Marcellus Wallace said, "f*ck pride".

    How did he do the right thing if he’s dead??
    Why was she pulling her taser on him in the first place? If you’ve a warrant out for your arrest and the cops catch up with you then why can’t you just cooperate?
