A taser is not the only alternative to killing people. Police are trained in physical restraint & negotiation. There's no excuse for this!

Keyword "Negotiations"..That was a child! If PD are that afraid they should be police.

This is horrible. These calls by 'concerned citizens' are becoming death traps for people who should still be alive. RIP

I don't think the U.S will ever adopt any of this. 19 weeks U.S training vs 130 weeks European training. It is a no brainer.
