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

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

        Is being afraid of everything - EVERYTHING - a requirement now to be in law enforcement? Maybe those folks can get Library jobs.

        Right? With that kind of logic, we should all be shooting cops in sight.

        Even if he had a knife, can't they handle the situation differently? Sick of hearing senseless excuses for killing

        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.
