re: #402 Obdicut

And Mehserle’s explanation, which I believe, is that he meant to tase him, but shot him instead. I don’t even agree with an involuntary manslaughter verdict.

To me, this is a weird case. There are far more obvious cases of police excess all over the place, but people focused on this one. I have no idea why.

Yes, of course. A handgun and a taser look and feel exactly the same.

If this nut is mistaking a loaded handgun for a taser, he should never have been anywhere near a handgun.

Hell, a pea-shooter would have been too much for him.
