I can see the headlines now (resulting from "another unarmed black man shot!").

Sure appreciate your support, but fortunately the officers were able to successfully avoid that. Perhaps if the female officer had actually been capable of responding to the threat and backing up her partner, this thing wouldn't have gotten so out of hand. Perhaps not. Sucked all around, but early deployment of OC ("Pepper Spray"), followed up by appropriate baton strikes could have reduced the threat of injury to officer(s). Seems like waiting too long/failure to apply appropriate force when needed, leads to hands on debacles such as this. I hate seeing cops receiving "life changing"/"early retirement" related injuries and these kinds of incidents are where those seem to originate.

so.... which pro football team will be hiring him?

Hopefully the school will revoke his scholarship and end his college career.

He should’ve ended up in the emergency room getting a lot of stitches, or a zippered black body blanket.

Tazed then shot a mag full . But usually follows is p.c liberal investigations where you are trying to prove why was reasonable. Most places no longer have pr24 or a good slab of hickory. Pepper spray is an option that sometimes works . But that is also said about 9mm not a instant fix Ray gun.

Of course you would have, just like the rest of us. The only real question was how many times. A few years ago in FL they shot at the perp about 63 times and when asked, the sheriff said "because thats all the ammo we had". A correct answer. And the Sgt that came running in could/should have shot him to add to the vent count.

Time for the next question, will Eastern want the idiot back? In time to graduate in 2035 when he finally gets out of the cookie jar.

Taser shot right in his ass would have escalated things quickly.

Nor his last. So what they've done is just shoved the problem on to corrections, where he'll be a hero with his fellow inmates. Now he's got street creds too.

I'm not sure how coordinated he would be, but a taser in the nuts would have made him far more active for a while.

I was wondering how effective a taser to the taint would be. I bet pretty effective.

He clearly had his hands up. Unfortunately, they were full of cop.

Hands up! Don't shoot! (Or else I might drop this officer.)
