Ya she didn't mean to, but her negligence caused his death. Should he have resisted arrest? No. Was using deadly force justified in seizing him? No.
Her department (like most) mandate via policy that less lethal (taser) be carried on the officer's support side. Most use a cross draw holster to draw the taser with their dominant hand, but they they have to reach across their body to do so. She was so retarded and in the black (Cooper color code) she went for her gun, a completely different draw stroke.
She was probably great on barking dog calls though....
You see a bunch of men working with chainsaws breaking up fallen trees, and you enter the scene and start a ruckus requiring them to try and subdue you. One of them meant to use his chainsaw to hold you down, and it accidentally got turned on during the struggle and kills you. Who's at fault?
Unfortunately that scenario isn't what occurred.
I agree it sucks, honestly for all involved; however she acted negligently and will do some time for involuntary manslaughter.
