#10   Note the effective use of CQB squealing

A technique I must add to my repertoire.

#9  There needs to be a rule, imposed upon the media by court orders a la the "gag rule," that media coverage regarding every incident of deadly police shooting should either feature the results of a medical examiner-administered blood test of the victim and a related, detailed report
-
OR
-
... refrain from any comment, characterization or analysis of said shooting until such medical examiner report becomes available.

#8  ^He had attacked and cut civilians moments before. He was advancing on the police before he was tased. He was tripping on something, shot numerous times but did not fall. Until a shot appeared to hit him in the spine.

This dude was on some serious drug and was hyper rabid.

#7  Woman cop needs a desk job. She panicked, screamed and neither backed away nor shot him. The perp could have killed her at any time but all he wanted was the Taser to stop. Instead, the male cops were forced to kill him. Complete CF.

#4  Thank you, pard, for not hitting me with any of those 17 9mm rounds you shot while I was in a clench with the perp. I owe you...

#3  Gentle giant. Time to RIOT!

#2  I forget where I saw it (Second City Cop blog maybe?), but the cops were complaining that the cheap-ass (chinese?) batteries in their tazers would not hold a charge and were not reliably useful for subduing bad guys.

That would explain all these instances where the perps are seemingly unaffected by a taser shot. Although drugs is another possibility.

#1  What? The guy was only armed with a KNIFE, and they SHOT him? Time to start up the riots.
