The last thing any police officer needs to deal with is a lawsuit. Every police officer would use every tool they had available to them before using their firearm.
Do you liberal scum really think cops go around looking to shoot people? I know you liberals live in a dream world already, but if you believe this, then you really need some clinical help.
The suspects actions in this case dictated the officers actions. Even though she had a knife, the officers still tried to subdue her with a taser. For you liberals this means the cops took on a subject armed with a dangerous weapon, and they were armed with a less lethal device. If they didn't want to end this peacefully, why bother using the taser.
You liberals need to understand a few things, this entire situation was reactionary. Officers reacted to a person committing traffic violations, the husband refused to sign for the citation (in Nevada you must sign the citation, or go to jail, refusing to sign is not an option), officers did their best to deal with a language barrier (and don't blame them for that, they didn't move to a foreign country with out learning the language), The wife got out of her vehicle with a weapon, cops tried to subdue her without use of a firearm, the wife came at the cops with a weapon, and now an officer has to live with the fact that he took someones life, because they made horrible decisions, not him.
And remember these officers face violent situations every day all while you live your life in safety. It is their life on the line, not yours, so until you are in a shoot or don't shoot situation you cannot judge anyone. You can play armchair quarterback again next football season.
Remember two thing folks, we do live in a violent world, and FREEDOM ISN'T FREE!
