They just fired cops in Atlanta for using a taser on the people in the car.. saying the cops used deadly force by tasing them!
How did the courts rule on that?
In taser training, cops are tased. Yep, sure is deadly.

Atanta cops were charged with using deadly force against a couple in a car
Tasars are deadly force according to that logic

how were the cops supposed to know that he was pointing a taser at them instead of a gun
He pointed the taser directly at the cop you little communist faggot.
It would have incapacitated the officer allowing the perp to take his service pistol which is likely.as he has already disarmed him of his taser.
Police are authorized to use one level higher of force IE if they use passive resistance police can go hands on, if they use fists police can use tasers and batons, if they use tasers and batons police can use pistols. This was the textbook definition of a good shoot.
What do you think that the cop has to allow himself to get taped and become helpless at the mercy of a violent suspect? Catch bullets communist faggot.

Killing a black man is not just "questionable."
First he was a drunk. Now he's a thug.
Tasering people doesn't end in death.

Police Chief was gay you homophobe
He didn't just take the officer's taser, he allegedly fired said taser at the officer. If this is true, deadly force was completely justified.
Why? Is a taser a deadly weapon?
A taser will incapacitate the cop thus allowing the bad guy access to his sidearm.

Not when it doesn’t come close to them because the guy is running away. It isn’t considered a deadly weapon in GA, the policeman used deadly force and it wasn’t necessary. They had his car, they should have let him run away and arrested him at a later time. No justification for using deadly force.A taser will incapacitate the cop thus allowing the bad guy access to his sidearm.
Thus kill him. Wrong. Cop was fired and police chief resigned.
There’s your bullshit “could have” crap again. The guy was running AWAY.
Resisting arrest is not justification for deadly force, neither is a DUI, there was no justification for killing him.Here is another "could have". The dead idiot could have complied with arresting officers instead of fighting both. The arresting officers "could have" used the rear naked choke and subdued the guy but that's not allowed anymore. BTW it's done in the octagon all the time. Almost never fatal just like the taser is "less than lethal" meaning it does kill occassionally.
Monday morning QB's walk in those blue shoes before you talk shit. It sucks.
