In case anyone else is having trouble playing the long beach bar shooting video (if in a hurry, skip to ~5:30):

Sonoma County. Suspected carjacker. Goes cluster and carotid pinch is employed. Suspect expires; turns out to be the vehicle's rightful owner. Sheriff says deputy will be fired.
Hain’t we got all the fools in town on our side? And ain’t that a big enough majority in any town?
Cliffs:
Male EDP and/or under influence of narc
two officers arrive, give solid commands
first officer tases male when he tries to get up, taser sorta effective
second officer attempts to tase male when he tries to get up after first round of current
her hand is in the way, self-inflicts, starts screaming
male officer reacts by putting 6 or 7 rounds into male's chest
female officer goes over radio
female officer has breakdown
No charges, or anything against the officers from the looks of it

If I had shot every suspect who resisted like this and came at me in my career, I'd be up to double-digit shootings. Some came very close, but only because I couldn't see what was in their hands. I'm gonna make a prediction that neither of these cops has been in a fistfight, ever. I read the Chief's comments at the press conference, he mentioned that people not in LE don't have the knowledge to properly opine on this situation. I do and this is all kinds of soup sandwich.
Also, if one of my guys canceled a backup with the details provided, they would be looking at a letter of reprimand, at the very least. We would send at least two officers and notify a supervisor. Was there a shooting or barricade going on that they couldn't spare the other officers? Nope, they were all available to show up after the shooting. These kinds of calls need to be prioritized and responded to like the high-liability events they are.
Yeah, our policy would mandate a supervisor respond, as well as CIT trained officers. Tasers would not (and likely won't be for years) be an option for us....just CTS Supersocks and 40mm. Or batons and OC. I would not like to imagine this incident occurring in California after today....especially in my city.
