Time to ban tasers to keep the violent, armed criminals from hurting themselves.
We are allowed to by policy, but it's pretty rare to actually occur. I think the lack of a method to get training and reps in just limits it popping into an already busy mind as a viable option. It's obviously a challenging thing to train to. We do watch videos, including some of those already linked, at in-service and discuss if it was justified, within policy, etc.

The Tucson Police Department is firing one of its officers who fatally shot a man in a mobility scooter while confronting him for alleged shoplifting.
Shocking videos of the Monday shooting from Lowe's security cameras show 61-year-old Richard Lee Richards entering the store in a motorized wheelchair, followed by two officers with their guns drawn a few feet behind him.
Body-worn camera footage shows one officer, later identified as Officer Ryan Remington, firing his gun nine times into Richards' back and side.
Richards was facing away from the officers when he was struck and is seen immediately falling out of his chair. Remington then rushes toward him and handcuffs the man as he remains crumpled on the ground.
Richards was pronounced dead shortly afterward.
