So your original post had about as much to do with the OP as my response to your post. Which you had the audacity to contest as not relevant. I would not have responded in kind if you had not raised the unrelated issue in your post, first.
While the cop in question might have been authorized to use a proven-lethal "effective tool", his valid use in this case is very much in question. <-- point of the OP and supported on the "invalid use" side of things in this case with my linkages to other cases of alleged or actual misuse of said "effective tool" and others.
BTW, if you look through the injusticeeverywhere.com site, you'll notice that a lot of what is reported is not just alleged, but actual--either convicted or settled--cases of police misconduct.
