Recently in my neck of the woods, a person was shot by police (in the lower abdomen) for grabbing an officer's taser and pointing it at them.
Two questions I would like to get everyone's opinion:
1) Was the police justified in using deadly force (the person shot didn't die)?
2) As a CCW holder--would I be justified in using deadly force when confronted with a perp with a taser?
My primary concern would be losing control of my firearms if I were tasered--but, would I be justified in escalating to lethal force when presented with a "non-lethal" weapon?
