Do people trying to commit suicide on a bridge attempt to grab the cops and then jump?
False equivalency much?
Sorry bud but no matter how you spin it tackling someone onto the ground they are standing on is, especially a person who is supposedly trained to defend themselves from such things, is not deadly force. Any man that thinks that they are in such grave danger that they must shoot someone simply because that person tackled them is a pussy and should have a desk job so the biggest threat they face is a paper cut. Granted they might see the paper cut as deadly force too but at least it will just be paper that they shoot.
BTW, this was NOT suicide by cop. Nothing about this says suicide by cop in any way, shape, or form. The guy wasn't even agitated until the cop tazed him, he was "passively resisting" by refusing to get out of the cops car because he wanted to go somewhere else. If the cop had waited for the backup that he called, considering there was no immediate danger and he was knowingly dealing with a mentally ill person, this guy wouldn't be dead.
