Quote the DA saying a taser is a deadly weapon then.
That should be cake.

Well that's half of the claim down.

And on the second ... Brooks was out of range even if he was an expert user.
TASER 7 Cartridges intended for longer range deployments have a 3.5-degree angle and can be effective at 11.5 feet (3.5 meters) or longer engagement ranges. The 3.5-degree cartridges have a gray cartridge body.
All TASER 7 Cartridges have a wire length of 25 feet (7.6 m). Twelve-degree cartridges can be effective in engagement ranges as close as 4 feet (1.22 meters). Twelve-degree cartridges have a black cartridge body.
CLOSE-RANGE OPTIMIZED
93% increased probe spread at close range, where 85% of deployments occur, according to agency reports.

I have nothing againsnt good and honest cops.
I have serious trouble with them being able to act outside the scope of the law that the rest of us are subject to. I have a problem with the power of the police "associations" that wield power entirely disproportionate to their function.
I have a problem with a population where there are so many so willing to cede their natural and civil rights for the false sense of "being safe."
But that and $4 will buy you a cuppa.
