The military. Gallagher only got caught because he was brazen.
It's almost as if organizations based on toxic cultures attract and encourage toxic people, lol.

Tasers that can fire a single shot and potentially miss.
Tazers can be both less effective than firearms and fail to stop the target - or just as effective and kill them even though they're not supposed to.
Either way, this specific situation is far different from Floyd's case, where it was an obvious murder. In the context of that tweet mentioned earlier - it'd be much more reasonable to use that "13 year old man" (vs Rittenhouse, the "17 year old child", whichever dishonest conservative lunatic made that comparison, I don't remember) as an example of "you're next".
Because firearms also have no chance of failure, right? /s
Seems that the responsible thing is to go for the less lethal option especially when missing with a tazer probably won’t kill a bystander.
This is real life, sweaty, not Call of Duty.

You're literally the one who tried to create a black-and-white false dilemma. You're projecting and flailing here because you don't wish to acknowledge the wide range of options officers actually have.
the responsible thing to do is to end the threat. shooting the criminal attempting to murder someone else IS the responsible and correct action. tazing would be a lack of situational understanding and training. you should never taze in the situation that unfolded on body cam.
Which can be done nonlethally. Law enforcement outside of America seem to grasp this concept, so why can't you and the pigs here get it?
Again: discharging a firearm into a melee when you are only wanting to hit one of the targets is irresponsible firearm use whether it's a cop or a civilian. That's the simple fact of the matter.shooting the criminal attempting to murder someone else IS the responsible and correct action.
Gun owners are taught to aim for the center of mass for a reason, sweetheart. I'm sorry your firearm instructor was a dumbass.

He was too close to use a taser. I bet you didn't even know that or understand how a taser works.
The effective range of a taser is 10-20 feet. She was literally standing NEXT TO HIM when she had the knife and he had to make the decision to pull the gun.
There is also the fact that tasers are usually only 60% effective.

The problem is too many people here are blinded by emotion and rage and are not thinking logically.
This is absolutely insanity.
We can sit here with the woulda-coulda-shoulda all day but at the end of the day, someone had a knife in close proximity and was attempting to kill someone else. The choice here is clear cut.
Based on all the nothing you pulled out of your own butt?
Telling phrasing, using "putting her down" as if she's an animal.there was a public murder taking place, you dont taze, you put down the criminal. shooting her was the only smart option.
Dehumanizing the victim is Step 1 in justifying an illegitimate shooting.
Repeating this without demonstrating why doesn't make it any less wrong than the first time, sweaty.
Don't know how to break it to you hun but the people who determine whether or not someone is a criminal and merits punishment are not the police. We have a judicial system for a reason.there was a public murder taking place, you dont taze, you put down the criminal. shooting her was the only smart option.
