“You don’t bring a Taser to a gun fight,”
Local law officials defend use of deadly force

Was Michael Brown armed? No.
Was Eric Garner armed? No.
Was Tamir Rice armed? No.
Was John Crawford armed? Only by the loosest of definitions.

Not every arrest is a gun fight and even in arrests where the suspect is armed, cops have succeeded in talking suspects down or using non-lethal methods to arrest them.
