I understand that cops address high stress situations and it can't be an easy job in situations like that. The police officer at the conference pointed out that's why they have training. It should remove any thought about muscle motions - i.e. drawing a pistol or taser. A musician knows their way around their instrument, athletes around their equipment. It should be second nature so they can think about other things while performing or competing. Shouldn't drawing a pistol or taser as a cop be the same thing? Some mistakes are harder to digest than others. It was a mistake, the police force has admitted it. True; it wouldn't have happened if the suspect wasn't resisting, but it was a mistake. There is no justification for riots.
