If he had been restrained then there would have been no reason to use the taser. Harris brought all this on himself. He committed a crime, ran from the deputies, and then struggled with them. He was combative and got the short end of the stick, but in the end he created his own bad luck. The responsibility is entirely on Harris.
He was restrained. There is a video. He was on the ground. He may have been struggling with deputies, but he was on the ground, being restrained by three LEO's. There was no reason to use the taser.
73 years old? Well right there we have a problem. I don't know how it works elsewhere but here in New York our seasonal/reserve/auxiliary LEOs have to meet certain standards and I don't think people that old are allowed.
Most agencies also do not allow their auxiliaries to carry guns or partake in anything beyond directing traffic or escorting a parade/funeral. They do NOT do actual police work. Some Long Island towns and villages do have seasonal officers who are real cops (but only work during the summer), they undergo the training and they certainly arent 73 years old.

Agreed, but reading the first page, it appears everyone was going from "definitely on the table" to "definitely senile."
He got confused and accidentally shot somebody. That's good enough for me right there.
Care to wager that if he's charged with a crime that his defense team will use his age as a defense?
