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.

The Review Board up there could use your - Bah I am not going to go there. I will simply say that if this keeps up you will find that damn few decent young men of any color are going to be interested in a career in law enforcement unless they can not find a job elsewhere.
Even as it stands right now an experienced younger officer is going start looking for employment in another field if he has less than say ten years on the job. The ones with a lot of time on are just going to look the other way rather than taking a chance on losing everything because what they do in a given situation does not fit the public eye correctly.
What most of the public does not seem aware of or care about is that these situations occur in a heartbeat and action is required in the same amount of time. Then a group (board?) of folks who have never been in one of these situations in their lifetime sits for months and judges what was done in those split seconds.
Soon dialing 911 may not be worth the time it takes?
