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.
And if he hadn't resisted arrest he'd be alive and could try fighting MN's bullshit gun laws.
Basically this is a story about how two dumb people crossed paths.
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?
