I'm not sure it's a case of confusing a gun for a Taser - I think it's actually a ND on the part of the female cop. I'm not even sure if she had a Taser? I think she was yelling taser for the other officer - he had out and used his Taser, simultaneously with her firing one shot. It would be normal for one to be prepared with lethal and one with non-lethal. She had her finger on the trigger and pulled it when she started yelling.I personally can not see how anyone could be so stupid to not notice it is a gun and not a yellow taser...but i have never been in a situation with someone shooting at me, maybe the adrenaline makes you not notice things like color and weight?
This is taught in every EMS class. After you accidentally shoot a person you immediately cuff them while acting confused.Cuff him, cuff him, cuff him, cuff him, cuff him.
I hope it's a ND. Taser guy did it right, applied force and ended the situation quickly. Didn't allow a foot chase across a street to take place.I'm not sure it's a case of confusing a gun for a Taser - I think it's actually a ND on the part of the female cop.

just people working from home...i'm getting use to 'em.Dammit, you guys going to make me watch another video?
Get ready for the earth to tilt again.
Maybe this?WTF?
Maybe they need to make the tasers look evern MORE outlandishly NOT like a gun. i.e. no trigger, maybe to buttons you have to push with both hands, no pistol grip....kind of more like a star trek phasor.

Apparently not.Not shocked

Male cops have made the mistake too. People make mistakes all the time, it’s not unique to cops.

I know it may be a bit inconvenient, however would you like to present any evidence of your assertion?

Female cops, female soldiers, 90% useless and also a liability. The small percentage of good ones still lack the physical strength to be useful when it comes to a fight and female cops tend to escalate situations more than men for some reason.
Female cops are good for dealing with female suspects (searches and stuff) and comforting children.
They are also either lezbos or are banging half the guys in the department,
There was testimony about this in the Potter trial. It’s a high stress situation and the persons brain subconsciously makes the wrong choice. Training minimizes how often it happens but doesn’t eliminate it.
Someone who has driven a car for decades may accidentally push the gas instead of the brakes when a person runs across the street. A pilot may use the wrong control etc. there are millions of police interactions each year and extremely few weapon mistakes Training, no matter how often or how intense, will never eliminate honest mistakes.

It’s a training and experience issue, same as it’s always been. Some people (cops) have never been in really stressful situations and their brain just shuts down due to overload. Others on scene that are in control of their own faculties can’t also monitor who else is showing up and how they’re handling the stress while still trying to contain the situation and bring it to a peaceful or at least successful end while trying to not get killed from your own people’s stupidity and the bad guy all at once.
I had a guy at gun point one time who had just tried to cut my throat with razor blades chicken wired to his hand. He missed by inches, I drew on him and began issuing verbal orders for him to get on the ground and drop his weapon (I only saw the flash of blade as he swung at my throat and the sunlight reflecting off of it and thought it was a knife in his hand).
The stress of seeing all this happen up close and fast caused one of the two female officers with me to begin yelling into the radio that “he has a gun!” instead of just breathing and letting me maintain control of what I had. So responding officers start driving like crazy thinking bad guy has a gun and officers are in trouble when he didn’t and we weren’t. The only pistol out was mine.
But instead of processing information and acting accordingly the panic set in and she did the only thing she knew to do, call dispatch for help. Well Dispatch can’t help us right now so stfu and stay off the radio.
The second female officer on scene then proceeded to walk directly in front of my muzzle, which was pointed at bad guys chest, who was still only about 6’ feet away. She completely blocked my view for a split second before I put my hand on her shoulder and physically shoved her the f*** out of the way. I was left having to control both female officers on scene as well as a still unsecured, mentally unstable and armed suspect. He then proceeded to cut his own throat and collapse against a tree.
I don’t know what makes people’s brains turn to mush like that and what doesn’t. They had both been cops for a couple of years, tho still rookies, they should’ve learned by then to control their adrenaline and fall back on training. They didn’t.
We learned who was who on the job, and would have to get on the radio and call off certain responding units if they said they were going to your location and you knew they were unreliable or everything they touch turns to shit. You learn to avoid them and keep them off your scene if you can just to maintain some calm and professionalism.
Men and women alike have this reaction, and there are just as many male cops who are disasters at life and you end up walking past them without speaking a word for years because they’re just bad for business and bad for your own career if you let them f*** up your scene.
I have no answers except some people simply aren’t cut out for it. Once that is determined they should immediately be let go with a ‘thanks for trying but your services are no longer needed here.’ Go turn in your gear. That is the only simple solution I can think of, but it’s next to impossible to get them removed.
Maybe make the probationary period 5 yrs instead of just 1.
I can almost guarantee if you ask some of those officers from the (department) video above they would say that this female was a f***ing walking disaster, a panic factory, and should’ve been let go long before this happened.
I didn’t cherry pick jack shit, I googled it and posted a few of the search results. Go look for yourself then.
