Re: Teen Armed With Iron Killed By Police Does the story say whether they had a taser with them? It wouldn't have been appropriate anyway according to any escalation of force protocol. The suspect was wielding a deadly weapon. I predict you'll laugh, but you probably haven't been struck in the head with an iron before.
While we're playing coulda shoulda whoulda, how about the guy could have surrendered to the police peacefully and cooperated with the arrest?
If the kid didn't "mean no harm" why did his mother call the police in the first place? |
