Poor analogy. Surgeons work to save lives at all times. Medical mistakes are covered by insurance. Horribly bad judgement gets medical practitioners banned and they do get jail time
This officer states that she grabbed her gun instead of her taser. I own neither but I’m sure I could tell the difference without looking, just by holding them. Also, I’m sure that the gun belongs in a certain place on their belt as does the taser. Officers should know the difference. Lastly, she fired, knowingly and willingly. I’m sure there are many instances where an office is accused of excessive force when they should not be. I don’t believe that this is one of those cases.
