Did the officer know the time he pulled the trigger the first time that he no longer had the weapon? We've all see reaction time. There's a reason no place teaches to shoot once, analyze, shoot, analyze. Tunnel vision also often develops in a self-defense situation. So from the time the suspect stole the taser to the time the first say 3 shots were fired the officer was in reaction mode to his taser being stolen.M-Quigley wrote:Walter Scott had a weapon at the time he was shot?JediSkipdogg wrote:Subject had a deadly weapon.

If one hasn't seen a Grossman seminar and/or read his books, they are superb books on what happens in a self defense situation.
