You guys want perfect results in imperfect situations.
What bullshit.
Why don't you tell us what your resolution to this problem is then?
My resolution is the same in both cases. Neither cop, the one that tasered the kid, nor the one that shot another cop, is fit to be a police officer. Being a cop is a lot like being a surgeon. You don't get to fuck up. Some jobs are just like that. If you do, you are responsible. You don't taser unarmed kids and you don't shoot at unidentified subjects running down the street. This isn't even brain surgery.
What bullshit.
I hope you don't jog. Cause if a loose cannon cop shoots you down cause he thought you were running from a crime, I'll be sure to let them know how you felt about the situation.
The qiestion here is really simple:
What can you assume about a SUSPECT that runs?

So, how do we prevent it in the future? Disarm the police?

Of course not. The overwhelming majority of police don't use excessive force. The ones that do, you make examples of. There isn't much choice. Make a bad decision, like shooting at a suspect running down the street? Tough turkey. You're done. Officers are quite aware of the consequences of firing at people with a weapon.

If I jog pointing a gun at someone?
If I flee a traffic stop then throw a bag of something, then hole up in a vacant inner city house?
Cops don't get that long to think.
That's why the answer is so simple.

Then the cops will let everyone go. The outcome alone is not worthy of your bleeding heart hindsightedness.
You'll never get a cop to take a shot or taser someone no matter how justified they feel they are.
Which is what you really want.
Both were justifiable force.
Again, you want the luxury of a hindsight judgement based on news reports.
That's nice.
I got three Latinos working on my house now. I am going to buy them lunch. They want me to put on Hannity.
Go figure.
