It’s not about valuing her word, it’s about viewing the video and basing an opinion on the video.
A gun and a taser are two totally different weapons to hold and I know that. But for her to yell out “Taser” three times just so that she’d be covered by law when she purposefully shot him with her gun is a little far fetched. In my opinion.
She shouldn’t have drawn her weapon, it wasn’t needed because he wasn’t threatening anyone’s life. But when people are resisting arrest cops pull out stun guns to taser the suspects.
I think many are thinking emotionally and not thinking rationally. I’m always fuck the police.l, but realistically speaking. Do you really think she waited 25 years on the force to shoot a 20 year old who wasn’t violent, but running away from a weed warrant?
She’s in the wrong, she should’ve been fired and hopefully she’ll be prosecuted. We all know the city’s going to pay so that’s not up for debate.
The family, the public and I don’t want to hear it. But based off the video it looks and sounds like she just fucked up and made a mistake.
Hopefully she’ll be prosecuted for a mistake but it sounds like it was a mistake. I don’t see her as being clever enough to want to kill him and yell “Taser” just so she could shoot him with a gun. I could be wrong?
Has it happened? Probably but I don’t see that in this case.
