Let me guess. You think your point of view on this is a "conservative" one, right?
Scenario:
Guy comes up to you.....you are armed with your glock....and attempts to taze you. His tazer malfunctions and he quickly turns to run away.
You gonna shoot him in the back?
Yes. He won't be knocking anyone else out in the future.
This was not the first time this punk had done this. Sooner or later, they are going to seriously injure someone. If they punch someone with a brain shunt, they could kill them.
So yes, I would shoot him in defense of myself and others. Damn skippy I would.
You might be just a little off. Intelligent......but a little off. Let me explain.
I have not mentioned punching anyone. I asked if you would shoot a person in the back.....who was fleeing after they tried to taze you, but failed. No physical injury came to you. The dude is running away.
If your answer is yes........you might have some unattended issues. You ain't the fucking judge....you ain't the jury....and you ain't the executioner.
I would not shoot the guy. I would call 911 and get back to living my life. I would have a story to tell.
Your life would likely never be the same. You have just shot someone. If you killed him.....you killed a man. If you did not kill him....do you think you have rehabilitated him?
Want to answer again?
What you are missing is that the assault already happened. The taser working or not is irrelevant. The threshold already was meant by the action itself. So to answer your question, yes & with extreme prejudice.
