So has there been any attempt to defend why the guy was tazered well after being shot? Because that's honestly the most troubling thing to me; I can accept that there may have been circumstances that made this situation more urgently dangerous than it appears in the video; I can accept that in the very high-stress job of policing, maybe this one cop just screwed up. Tragic, but it happens. But right now the only reason for the tazering seems to be to cover their own tracks. Attempting to doctor crime scene evidence (if that's what happened) is to me a less excusable action than any heat-of-the-moment overreaction.
