Monday Night Quarterback.
So what happens if the man gets away and kills someone.
"why didn't the police stop him... why didn't they chase him... why did he not just shoot him instead of taser..."
As for "other means of subduing. Reality is not the movies. We have no idea if the cop had a ranged-taser on him... and even if he did, he'd still have to draw it... and not miss.
They are a one shot deal and not always as effective as people think. Should the cop had "knight stick" the guy like Rodney King?
If you ask the cop he was in "life threading circumstances". According to him, the man tried to take his pistol, a round went off and then Brown beat the cop in the fact. News is reporting the officer has a busted eye socket.
So what, you expect the cop to just let the guy run off? Wants to go round two and fist fight it out?
