APPROPRIATE FORCE USE? Man, 21, Fatally Shot After Deputies Allegedly See Him Stab Woman


What are your thoughts? I only have this news account to reference, but it reads that the suspect was stabbing the victim and that a TASER was used to try and stop the imminent deadly threat…(?)

The TASER is a less-lethal force option and should be deployed to stop less-lethal threats. If a suspect was shooting at yu, would you use a TASER to subdue him? It comes down to “INC”; Identify the threat, Neutralize the threat, and Control the threat…. In a CQB situation, action must happen quickly, efficiently, and APPROPRIATELY.

“He was stabbing a young woman who was there in the home, as well. As that young woman was fleeing from the home, deputies had arrived. The young man was stabbing her in the back, had cut her throat in prior moments. At that point, the deputies had attempted to disarm him through a Taser shot, Authorities said when the Taser didn’t work, one shot was fired.”
