A great example of why people shouldn't jump to conclusions without knowing the full story. A firearms officer, violently attacked, hit in the head and then in the grip of his assailant as the taser darts hit. He experienced the same electric shock as the assailant. With his hands needed to hold his carbine, he cannot properly defend himself. His job is to subdue the threat, rescue his colleagues and do that knowing if he pulls that trigger he may well be hung out to dry. People who attack police officers must be subject to the full strength of the law. Police officers must be supported. The alternative is anarchy and mob rule.
