Before any of the usual suspects jump in and suggest that I'm defending the unarmed shooting of a black guy by a cop, me saying that I don't understand why the cop needed to lie about what happened is not me saying that I'm ok with what happened!
Sorry Mick, wasn't meant to be a reply to you.
Stonehedge-
No worries!
I'm in the same boat, considering how common/easy it is to get away with it, it seems odd to attempt to cover it up and draw more scrutiny to the situation.
Granted, not being able to distinguish between a lethal & non-lethal weapon seems like the sort of thing that should prevent someone being allowed to wield them. Though we can all be pretty sure that's not going to happen.

I think the point is that there's a 50% success rate of lying that you accidentally used a gun instead of a taser.
