Criminal Taser use. How to defend? - Page 2

This is a related question as I think the same answer applies to both, but - you are justified in using deadly force to avoid being overpowered (in, say, a kidnapping) even if your life is not directly/immediately threatened, right?

Rob Pincus, TFL Staff, took a full Taser hit for a write up in SWAT a while back. This is what it looks like under controlled conditions, with assistance.

No-brainer. Shoot him until he can't use the Taser. Tell the police NOTHING EXCEPT "I FEARED FOR MY LIFE." Discuss with your lawyer how to articulate your fear for your life, with the assistance of the posts above.

The issue is NOT shoot/don't shoot. We ALL know the answer is "shoot." The issue is how to present your case, which is to say, how to present what you will represent as your state of mind. This should be done with the assistance of a lawyer competent in such cases.
