If the officer was more competent in his job that staff member would have saved being hit by a drugged maniac. Why would he repeat on the ground mantra and doesn't just use his damn weapon? Jesus, we need better officers who use weapons when it's clearly needed.

He escalated it (the cop)

Brass knuckles vs a fucking gun. Good work officer.

That fucking bum... God job officer

Bum had a death wish. Wish granted.

I really wish they would keep the footage rolling.

Close quarters and a guy wearing a hoodie means a TASER should not be the go-to, practically speaking although it might be department policy. Sadly that leaves your fists, batons and the like.

Cop was nice in his approach, gave better than usual "positive" commands, and went hands on sooner than later.

Sucker punch to the face like that, especially with "brass knuckles" is deadly force.

Justifiable shooting. Not a good outcome but he chose to escalate the situation several times.

Common to see them fighting their beater poles, ineffective hardware, then shooting because that nor the taser worked correctly.

Bro put on those brass knuckles casually af.

We're still waiting for the Phaser with the stun setting.
