Absolutely - It is a given that a Police Officer is good enough at this stuff not to lose his weapons to a drunk.
If he is not he or she should not be out on patrol.
And even after that the implement the guy appeared to get hold of is not a lethal device - at least according to the Police. So why would the Police respond to it with lethal force?
The right has problem dealing with the absurdity of these situations. They want to have it both ways.
Yes! He probably should've used a choke hold - that would've most likely worked ...
So was he sleeping in his car because he was afraid to drive home drunk? Why did he block the drive-thru lane? Did he not move the vehicle to the parking lot when the manager asked him i assume? Thus having to call the cops? Did the cops just decided to arrest him or the reason was that he refused to move his vehicle out of the drive thru lane and into the parking lot even after the cops told him to?
It depends on how much money they get for free (tax breaks, subsidies, and if insurance is regulated).
But at this point...I think you're right. This is too much. They would need to shame the insurance companies to give much lower rates despite the fact that the building can burn at any time now...apparently.
Back in the old hood you had a lot of mid-size regional businesses try to set up shop while getting all those benefits.
They'd last a year or two or maybe three but the daily "average savagery" was just too much. The shoplifting alone is a nightmare. Guys chillin' just outside the store selling crack, broken glass everywhere in the parking lot (because when you're done with your drink in the hood you just throw it on the ground) and domestics run like clockwork.
Then a rape every x months and finally a homicide or two and it's finally over. They get the hell out of Dodge.
Full-on riots and the building being burned down at any moment is going to be a hard sell to the insurance companies. I'd love to be in the room to witness that negotiation though.
Even the folks in those neighborhoods would be crazy to open businesses there. The liability is too high.
And nobody talks about the emotional impact of business owners that watch their businesses devastated like this.
There were businesses in Chicago which were started on fire - with no regard to the people living in apartments above them either.
The idiots on CNN sound orgasmic about this latest turn of events.
It's like nobody on the news is batting an eye over the arson. Is that considered normal now?
Arson? Don’t you mean revolution? Oops I mean social progress?
This crime of arson that massively hurts the locals who had jobs there, and not the billion dollar chain who has insurance is the symbolic change that was so desperately needed in these communities.
Less jobs, less opportunities, less property value, more arson, and more crime equals change.
I have a few questions that I honestly don't know answer.
1. Is a taser considered a lethal weapon.
2. Did the guy who got shot fire the taser at the officer and if he did was it before or after the cop fired.
3. What is the range of a taser.

All joking aside I feel so bad for the people that worked at that location.
If they're lucky they'll get shifts at other store locations but they'll have to travel and they'll get reduced hours...at best.
