Wow. I can’t wait to hear the results of the investigation.

My first impression is that the officer used his sidearm when he meant to use his Taser. It’s happened a few times over the years. That’s why I carry mine opposite of my pistol, so I can’t draw it with my strong hand accidentally.

Sorry you had to see something disturbing, **Bruce Wayne**. I think a lot of our job as cops is to see stuff like that so the rest of the world doesn’t have to see it.
