Incompetent female cop shoots black man, mistaking taser for gun

It's true that the cop's actions are fucked.
But it's another example where simple compliance would have avoided the altercation.
How many times does one have to see, hear, or read stories like this to know that the best course of action is to comply with a cop's lawful orders to safeguard yourself?
You're dealing with cops that might not like you and DEI women cops that shouldn't be cops in the first place. It's a potential recipe for disaster.

When working with female coworkers in correctional facilities you are basically working alone. They are unable to meet the same physical demands as a man. I would have performed many work refusals working with women however I would have been quickly escorted to HR and out the door. Safety is the top priority only after woke policies and legislation.
Happened in 2021. Already been posted in this forum some time ago.
The cop got a 2 year sentence. Served 16 months. The mom sued and got $3.25 million, and the lady in the car sued and got $325,000.
I remember this incident...and it isn't the only time where a cop did this. I recall about 10 years ago on SF's BART system a cop did the exact same thing, went for the taser and pulled out the glock.
The major problem with policing in the US and maybe in Canada (though you don't hear of incidents like this up here very often), is that you can become a cop after like 11 weeks of training (depending on the state). They are not taught de-escalation, or if they are, it's like for half a day or something. And, you've seen the stereotype, they tend to get aggressive meatheads who love to abuse power on people...And, this leads to bad outcomes.
Cops in Canada are very well paid compared to the US... and they tend to be more professional. Sure, there are bad apples, but you don't hear of the negative interactions like you do in the US. But, I honestly think training should be longer. In Europe, they have like three years of training, and spend a lot of time on de-escalation and other ways to arrest people without hurting/killing them. In the US....that seems to be non-existent. Anyone remember Tamrr Rice? He was an 12-year old playing with a toy gun in a park. A cop raced in, didn't even tell him to drop the weapon, and shot and killed him almost instantly when they arrived on the scene.

While all this may be true, none of it applies to the situation.
You have a DEI cop that got flustered under pressure despite her years of service.
Guns feel completely different from tasers. Second, at least in Canada, tasers are generally yellow to further differentiate them from the pistol which is black. Third, she wasn't even the officer physically struggling with the victim - she could have taken the split second to double check which weapon she unholstered before firing.
As an aside, it makes sense for a woman cop to be more fearful and react differently than a male cop in similar situations. Imagine knowing that, despite all your physical training, practically every single male assailant you come across can easily overpower and kill you with his bare hands and you're powerless to defend yourself without your gun.
It's always DEI with you righties. Male cops fuck up ALL THE TIME. They get flustered and panic, abuse power, shoot unarmed people, put on illegal chokeholds. This just shows your biases and ignorance. And every cops knows there is a chance they could be overpowered in any situation. Don't think male cops go into any call without thinking the worst things could happen.
The difference is that most men can do the job or at least have the physical capability to do it effectively in those dangerous situations whereas most women do not.
Physically, they might be stronger. But mentally....well, the jury is out. US cops (and some Canadian ones) are just power hungry assholes. Some fantasize about legally being allowed to shoot people. They are so gung-ho that they will gun down a child, especially a black one, in seconds instead of trying to de-escalate. The funny thing here is that you insist on bringing DEI into everything. Which, I guess means that unless a white male does it, it was done wrong. Or something like that.
This is not about everything. It's about policing. Physical strength is essential for the job.
DEI is a fact of life in order for women to become police officers.
If the NBA suddenly had a bunch of 5 foot 3 women (or men) in it, you wouldn't find the DEI statement so controversial.
