A taser and a pistol are two completely different things, the taser thing has to be an excuse and not a very good one, incompetence isn't a defense against killing an innocent person.

People who consistently blame black people for being killed by police officers without any justification for the act are showing their white hoods. I am tired of the right (or should I say White?) wing supremacists standing up for incompetent and murderous police officers just because they happen to be murdering black people.

this type of accident happens around once a year.
A 2012 article published in the monthly law journal of Americans for Effective Law Enforcement documented nine cases in which officers shot suspects with handguns when they said they meant to fire stun guns dating back to 2001. Bill Lewinski, an expert on police psychology and founder of the Force Science Institute in Mankato, Minnesota, has used the phrase “slip and capture" errors to describe the phenomenon. Lewinski, who has testified on behalf of police, has said officers sometimes perform the direct opposite of their intended actions under stress — their actions “slip” and are “captured” by a stronger response. He notes that officers train far more often on drawing and firing their handguns than they do on their stun guns. Geoffrey Alpert, a criminology professor at the University of South Carolina and an expert on police use of force. Alpert said a major factor in why officers mistakenly draw their firearm is that stun guns typically look and feel like a firearm. St. Paul, Minnesota, Mayor Melvin Carter brought up the same point during a news conference Monday. “Why do we even have Tasers that operate and function and feel and deploy exactly like a firearm?” Carter asked. “Why can’t we have Tasers that look and feel different? That you could never mistake for deploying a firearm so that we can ensure that mistake that has happened before can never happen again?” In 2019, a suburban St. Louis police officer, Julia Crews, said she meant to use her stun gun but mistakenly grabbed her service revolver and shot a suspected shoplifter, Ashley Hall, who suffered serious injuries. Crews resigned and has pleaded not guilty to a pending charge of second-degree assault. The city of Ladue admitted no wrongdoing as part of a $2 million settlement with Hall. https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/...taser-77031088 nothing to do with race so rioters and looters can stand down |

resisting arrest, running away etc etc etc does not warrant being shot dead. The key principle is proportionate force and shooting someone dead in error is not proportionate

if it was found to be a mistake then it would be a manslaughter (or equivalent) charge rather than murder... but its still a crime
