Just as I was preparing to "raise my hand" in opinion. I read bluecenturions response #46 and it mirrors my opinion exactly.
Both officers are being improperly overcharged by a politician that is being investigated for multiple serious charges and if an honorable person would have long ago stepped down while investigations continue.
It is laughable that the DA states in his charges that a TASER is not a deadly weapon, when he has just filed charges against another police officer for discharging a deadly weapon TASER!
BIG REMINDER: The jury charges are for them to consider NOT what a reasonable person would do in this case, but rather what a reasonable police officer would do. Can't see any way offivers lose!
