Tennessee v. Garner, 471 U.S. 1 (1985), is a civil case in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that, under the Fourth Amendment, when a law enforcement officer is pursuing a fleeing suspect, the officer may not use deadly force to prevent escape unless "the officer has probable cause to believe that the suspect poses a significant threat of death or serious physical injury to the officer or others."[Tennessee v.

The manufactures of tasers recommend that officers get tased during training to understand the incapacitation that occurs. If a person tases an officer, the officer has absolutely no way of weapon retention and the person can know take his/her gun to use against him.
The judge in the earlier case 2 weeks ago said that Atlanta officers used deadly force when they tased the teens in the car. Can’t have it both ways.
The officer was NOT picking up his brass, he picked up his tased which he dropped, which was deployed and did not work. For you to say something you have no clue about is reckless.
I’m sure you didn’t hear about the Ft Meyers officer arrested for child abuse because he stopped a woman for speeding and she had drugs in her and rather than arrest her he gave her a citation. 3 months later she was high and driving and got into an accident and killed her daughter. The officer is arrested for failing to take action 3 months prior.
What do you want ? Arrest criminals, look the other way because they are just innocent people. Maybe you should Ride along with the cops and you decide when they should make an arrest based on your EXPERT knowledge.
