MURDER, MANSLAUGHTER, CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE, INCOMPETENCE - WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?

A twenty year old black man is dead. Again. His "crime" may have included an expired license plate and ornaments dangling from the back window in his car. Possibly his "crime" may include immaturity and or stupidity by fleeing police. None of those offenses are punishable by death yet there he lies. O.K. he wasn't shot five to seven times by the police officer like the kid (white) in Kitchener, Ontario was several years ago. We are still awaiting the inquest about that death. O.K. an incredibly stupid police officer (Chauvin) did not kneel on this young man's neck for nine minutes plus and slowly kill him. But...he is still dead and without any remote legal or moral justification if any are even possible. ............................................................................................................................ The female officer did not immediately cry self-defence or she felt threatened or any of that much too often bullshit. "Oh I was afraid for my life" crap that police officers have relied on for far too long and for far too many killings. She claims that she grabbed for her Taser as the young man was driving away and mistakenly shot him with her duty handgun. Wow I've got a real problem with that claim. I've never shot a Taser thus am unaware of the maual of arms such as a safety, single or double action trigger etc. I have however legally fired handguns and am competent and confident with them. Taser's I have seen don't really remotely look like any handgun I've ever seen. They look different and I expect they feel extremely different due to size, weight and grip/handle configuration. O.K. I'm skeptical about her claim of "oops I grabbed the wrong weapon and fired it (gun) accidentally". .................................................................................................... I am also concerned to hear that she was not a rookie. Far from it in fact as she has been described as a "veteran" police officer. Good Lord has her weapons training really been that bad? Does that police force require regular practice and familiarity training with both Tasers and handguns? Lastly I will say this. If I was on the jury I would expect to see, feel and handle both weapons in order to judge for myself how likely/possible it could be to grab the wrong one in a hurry and then use it. Lastly I would also want to know if the police officers even have the legal right to shoot a fleeing suspect with a Taser. They stopped him on a minor traffic charge and then found that there was an outstanding warrant for non-violent misdemeanors. Is that even O.K. to use violent but normally non-lethal force (Taser) in that case? Even if it is legal, should it be? ........................................................................................................................... Another young black man is dead by police hands. Yes police are human and make mistakes just as citizens and suspects do. The difference is supposed to be that police are professionals, well trained in the use of force and well trained when not to use it.
