And NO, a taser is not considered a lethal weapon.
Why was the cop picking up his brass for 2 minutes...before he even went to the victim?
Maybe because he knew once the detectives figured out how far away the victim was, while running away...he would be in deep doo-doo?
And NO, this is NOT justification for citizen violence or property damage.
It (along with the posts we'll see here) does, however, show...exactly why black people across the nation are so angry.

I don’t know if you really believe what you say or just like stirring the pot. You said “Lasers are not Lethal”. You didn’t say lasers can’t kill. Google “Can lasers kill”. Yes they can and lots of people have been killed by them. What if the cop wasn’t killed and only disabled? Guess what, his gun would have been available to be taken. Of course he would not take the gun, everyone knew he was a nice guy. But he only resisted. I noticed most media outlets are not showing the video where the gentle perp punched the cop in the face. I think that exceeds gentle resistance. Lastly the cop shot him in the back. The perp had his head and arm turned to the cop. The cop should have aimed for his head which was facing the cop then he would not have shot him in the back. Or the cop should have asked him to turn around. After all he was being so compliant.
