She may have had her finger on the trigger when the taxer was fired and reacted to the noise.

It makes a noticeable "pop" sound.

It is nerve racking staring down the sights at another living person knowing their life rest in your hands.

What really sticks out to me in this case is that one officer chose to draw a non-leathal option where the other chose the deadly force option. To me personally this looks like a breakdown in training or at very least a breakdown of communication between the two officers. In this case it appears the two officers assessed the situation completely differently. The question is: why?

One officer drawing a firearm and another going non letal is very common. The officers didn't know what the suspect was going to pull out of his vehicle. All LEOs have seen the video of the deputy who was killed by a Vietnam veteran who retrieved a rifle from his truck because the officer hesitated. His death screams are bone chilling.

I would have drawn my firearm also because you have a suspect not following commands and going back to his vehicle. If he pulls a firearm I'm ready to return fire. I don't wanna have a taser in my hand and he was a .45. It only takes a second to reholster and go non lethal.

I believe she panicked when the male officer discharged his taser. I refuse to believe she killed the man in cold blood.
