The video cleary (this is not up for discussion if you saw the video) shows the only way that guy 'took' the tazer was in the back as he was running with the leads and wires sticking out of him. Then he gets shot. Even if that were not true and he had the 'gun' itself, which it is, tazers are a one shot and done tool. If its been discharged... thats it. Some allow you more jolts of juice but as far as firing it again... Ain't gonna happen.

What recent incident are you talking about? In the one I'm thinking of, the runner took the officer's Tazer. I still don't know enough about the case to want to render judgment but I can at least understand a fear for life when someone pulled and ran off with the Tazer after a struggle.

Mmm ... no, the video unclearly shows the wires sticking out of Slager and the Taser dropping to the ground as Scott fled. The guy who took the video said he heard the Taser go off but his testimony assumes Slager used it on Scott. He later admitted Scott had the Taser but said he didn't try to use it against Slager -- yet it looks like the darts are in Slager, not Scott. Things would certainly have been better if Slager had realized the Taser had discharged already and not shot since it clearly didn't pose a threat anymore but I don't know if Slager knew that. I'm sure the question of what he was thinking and when will be brought up in his trial. As has been mentioned, he was fired and arrested. I would venture his defense attorney will bring up analysis like this: http://theconservativetreehouse.com/...aser-struggle/ and the DA will work to debunk it.
