Athens-Clarke police have to restrain child during arrest of the boy’s father following a domestic dispute. Before release of body cam there was the typical cell-phone video from a family member showing the police with the boy on the ground, being used to claim “police brutality”.

What kills me about this shoot is that you can SEE in the video where the hyper-criticism of police officers has worked its way into the officer's head, especially in a place like Maryland. He had multiple occasions where the use of force was authorized and put himself in a pretty bad position continually retreating and opting not to use force.
Blame is 100% on the bad guy, I just wish an officer could defend his life and health without knowing that no matter how much he tries to avoid it, he's going to get crucified in the press.

After two failed taser deployments, a Utah officer resorted to firing into the lower legs of a robbery suspect. I just thought this video was relevant because of the "why didn't you just shoot their legs?" rhetoric that comes along with nearly every fatal OIS. Not surprisingly, some of the same people that complain about not "just shooting the suspect's legs first" are now complaining about someone being shot in their legs first. SIGH

As a bonus, it turns out this officer has done this same thing in the past (shot a suspect armed with a "melee" weapon in the leg on purpose). I can't really blame him for this kind of reaction, despite it being entirely out of policy. And apparently his bosses don't mind, given that he still has a job after two of these shootings.

I'm honestly surprised we don't see more of these incidents. And I'm definitely not surprised that the people who complain about suspects not getting shot in the legs (as opposed to the torso or face) often manage to complain about suspects getting shot in the legs. Oh well...

"I need your help. I can't tell you what it is, you can never ask me about it later, and we're gonna hurt some people."
When the suspect starts rolling up the taser leads...it’s going to be a bad day for everyone involved.

The uniform outrage in the comments is a bit surprising to me (shouldn't be at this point).
Do I think it was substandard scene handling? A little, yeah. He seemed pretty poor at deescalation. But I'm always really hesitant to critique having never been in that situation.
That being said, she was encouraging police to attack her, refused to disarm, stepped toward officers multiple time, and he tried a taser deployment. And history is pretty clear that someone that close with a screwdriver can do some real damage in a hurry.
If the department and city have faith in him, they know him better than we do. And nobody died...

Well I suppose that’s one way to do it. I’m a little mixed in my thoughts on this.
On the one hand, situation resolved without anyone dead. On the other, maybe not the best practice from a UOF standpoint. With the failed taser deployments do I think shooting might have been inevitable? More than likely. At least the officer took decisive action, so there’s points for that.
I’ll defer to more experienced judgements on this.

Another failed taser use. A TQ carried by the Corporal saved his life. 41 rounds of 45 ACP fired by both Troopers.

^^^^Wow. A lot of lessons in that video. I'm glad the troopers survived the encounter.
There's nothing civil about this war.
