I watched the video too. It was a horrendous thing to watch. It did stop too soon. I'm sure there is more footage from the dashcam after the shooting of the guy but it cuts off right after the sgt gets shot and is dying on the road.
I watched it. Sarge talks and talks before hitting guy with taser. Guy talks and talks, doesn't want to get out of the car, pleads to just go home. When they finally move on the guy, it seems like a half-hearted attempt, maybe new cop is trying to be gentle?
Guy starts shooting, does indeed shoot the cop on the ground, hardly a thought-out execution, IMHO.
Was he standing?
Yes, did you watch the video?
Still pretty damn sad that this all happened over a traffic violation. Ware decided that going to jail wasn't an option. Cops decided that backing off wasn't an option. Was any of it worth it?
It started with a traffic citation and no insurance. It was escalated by the driver. Why don't people understand this stuff?It shows the citizens exactly how this went down, how it escalated.
It shows how fast the situation changed.

Nope. I'll take your word for it, just pointing out a bit of what seems to be semantics.
Monday morning quarterbacking is always 100% right, are you relaying that something should be done differently in the future?
I gar-on-tee you things will be done different by any cop that watches the video. They tell Ware 40 times to get out of the car.
Hell if my dad had to tell me something twice, he'd use more force than young cop did.
Sarge kept threatening to use that taser over and over and over.
It seems that the cops decided early on they were gonna haul this retard to jail. They stood there debating it with him like a liberal parent threatening to put a kid in time out.
Interesting.
So you suggest use of more force? Granted I don't disagree.... but wouldn't you be one of the first ones cryin about "Jack Booted Thugs" if things went differently?
