i'm all for tasing the motherloving SHIT out of anyone that breaks the law. I mean, just zap them til they're crapping pants.
but shooting people in the face, nah, you should only do that when you have to.
Also - when there's a life/death confrontation, and you wound the other person, and he runs... That life/death switch resets when you meet them again. You cannot just chase them 150 feet, and then issue headshots until a new deadly threat is shown. Cause if 150 feet is okay, then why not 2 miles, 2 days later? Just find the guy that started shit and shoot him in his sleep. There can be no line. once an incident ends, you have to reset it.
And YES, cuffs are way safer for a kid than some obese cop trying his best takedown moves. "i can't breathe' happens when every cop thinks he's a cage fighter. I didn't even care about the race of the kid, nor do I care about race when cops shoot people. I've seen a kid demolish a classroom before, and it's just a slip-and-fall away from a window killing someone. dangerous shit. restrain the child, dont tackle, don't shoot, don't wrestle. Put cuffs on him and plant in chair.
kinda silly to compare stopping a kid with handcuffs, to shooting a motherfuucker in the back while running away, but hey...
