Have you seen the video? Its fucking crazy. The cop shouts "taser taser taser" as she pulls the trigger on the thing that very much wasn't a taser.
And the Americans seem so confused why we only let a very select few of our police officers handle fire arms after literally years of selection and training. Ability to identify which is your pistol and which is your taser seems quite important.
Stonehedge-
The ability of UK cops to use weapons appropriately is dubious too. When tasers were brought in they were for protecting life as a less lethal alternative to guns. Now they have been fairly widely deployed they get fired into the back of people running away who are suspected of carrying small amounts of drugs.

"i mistook my sidearm for a tazer"
it's almost as if at this point, excuses exist merely to provide the right wing apologists with a level of plausible deniability for their bad faith arguments in support of anti black male police violence.
