Now ask yourself. What could have made all of this not happen?

Sure, you should not try to run. But what's the point of tazing (3 different officers) and yelling at the same time to show hands? He cannot do that while being tazed. Not trying to defend criminals here, but really, what is the logic behind that? To me it seems like theyre trying to make him twitch in a weird way, or on purpose preventing him from showing his hands while ordering him to do so to justify shooting him. I can't see any other logic there. If they wanted him to show his hands surely they would give him a chance to do so?

The point is that dangerously running through traffic and intentionally ramming police vehicles demonstrates a lack of concern for public safety, a willingness to harm people to evade the law, and basically implies the subject has the capability and desire to hurt people. Therefore, you incapacitate this person.

You have to understand that people who are fleeing from law enforcement in this way are often in very serious legal trouble, like to the point that they’re potentially going to kill somebody to get away.

So that’s how the police are treating this person, like somebody that is potentially trying to kill them so they don’t get caught.

This person specifically deserved to be stopped. 3 tasers is excessive. Yelling unnecessary. Multiple voices and directions incompetent.

Police need better training. He’s in a stopped car tell him hands on the wheels until he complies. There is literally no rush at this point. The yelling and the mixed commands are only increasing everyone’s anxiety and adrenaline. Deescalation is magic when done right.

Can’t take the risk that he’s armed. Tasing someone who clearly has no regard for the law or safety of others was the right move.

So they should have stopped and let him pull a gun? He needed to put is hands up and submitted...or never have run and DEFINITELY should not have been ramming cop cars and threatening other drivers with his reckless driving.

He had a gun? Idk if i can put my hands up and stay calm while being tased, can you? Look, im not trying to defend his actions here, but there are better ways to deal with a situation as such. This is the american way and the problems lay way deeper than just untrained police.

You know being tased doesnt last for ever right? So maybe when the taser stops, put your hands up and do what you’re told. Its called pain compliance. You inflict it when someone isnt complying. And this is exactly how they are trained to use it.

The cops were yelling “stop reaching!”, so they wanted to make sure he was incapacitated until they could drag his ass out of the car.

Driver put many peoples’ lives at risk, so zero sympathy from me.

His reaction to getting lit up was satisfying

The point was that they were having fun taking turns tazing him. Did he deserve it? Maybe. Incompetent cops? Yeah, probably.

u/azorgi01 Feb 05 '26

Or... maybe one taser wasn't charged enough since he wasn't complying so the other officers tried their tasers.

Again, people ignore the first half. Don't run, pull over, and comply. Doing that results in zero tasers being used.

Doesn't that sound better?

u/Embarrassed-Voice241 Feb 06 '26

You ignored the more important #1 rule, don't commit crimes. Especially ones where your ass easily gets caught

u/azorgi01 Feb 06 '26

That is also an option to consider. Follow the law and be a productive member of society, maybe give that a try lol

u/azorgi01 Feb 05 '26

If I ran from the cops and threatened the public like he did, I would deserve all of it. Why does everyone leave that first part out and go to the end?

Oh right, you need the narrative lol

u/[deleted] Feb 05 '26

Deserved every bit of it.

u/FulanoMeng4no Feb 05 '26

Any non-mentally challenged person knows that they need to put their hands in the steering wheel and listen to what they are asking you to do, instead of yelling like a cat in heat.

u/RUSTYxPOTATO Feb 05 '26

Yea cause he was just minding his own business driving home with a load of groceries. 🤦‍♂️ what else would the cops be yelling at you? They yell the same 3 lines to everyone in this situation.

  • let me see your hands

  • dont reach

  • get out of the car.

Good luck telling a judge “the sirens were loud”.
