Ok, the man was not without fault, perhaps several faults. But I don’t see where any of them merited a death sentence, even pointing the taser while running was a pretty low level threat. Did it really warrant death? Perhaps the officer’s reactions can be understood in context of his training or lack of it, so some consideration for that should be shown. Whatever the case, do we really want police officers acting as judge, jury, and executioner? Kind of sounds Judge Dreddish. There is clearly a need for more extensive training of officers on how to handle these situations. If they had let this guy run off they could have caught up to him pretty quickly later. They had his car and his identity, he was not going to get away for long.
