I know it has, there was a case a few years ago that was quickly forgotten.
My opinion on the matter is that OSHA needs to take the matter of tasers out of the ATF's hands and dictate that all police issued tasers need to be OSHA yellow for the entire body. Some are today already but others are just safety yellow on the front face.
Yep, especially with many of them being shaped like a pistol. A quick search and I found a few that depending on circumstances could be mistaken for a gun.
Yeah, at least Canadian police have the courtesy to let you know they're executing you on purpose by tazing you over and over in quick succession until you die. No "oopsie shootsie!", just "he's still spasming, fire again!".
I'm under the impression that the gun and taser are kept on opposite sides of the body to prevent situations like this from happening under stressful circumstances. This all sounds more and more like the officer lady was just braindead stupid, and the only real argument is if the black man was dumber to try to run away or not.
At least we're admitting that everyone was a fucking retard in this interaction.
I still want to know how you mistake a gun for a taser. Has that happened before?

Well, fuck the ATF in general.
