According to some TV new reports, he had earlier had his taser out.

This may be getting OT, if so, mods snap my mouth shut.

What was the original use of tasers? My belief is that it was to provide a non-leathal alternative to using a firearm. If so, then there has been much mis-use of the taser in situations where no sane person would have used a firearm due to an absence of a taser.
