Surely they all have to wear them in uniform as in the taser on the left, the gun on the right? So as to not have this confusion. She's ****ed
They've tried to use as an excuse how your brain thinks when you swap a car and you automatically go for things that are not there, but surely the gun and taser have always been in the same place on the uniform.
Also the gun has a safety catch on it that you have to release at the same time as pulling the trigger.
Perhaps she wore them crossed over like Wild Bill Hickock All joking aside there is NO WAY you could confuse them unless she is suffering a brain disorder and gets discharged from the service on medical grounds After all this is America
They are trying to claim that in the tense of the moment this can happen, what was tense about it, she had two male colleagues with her, it was kid ffs, worst he was going to do was drive off. They shouldn't have even been arresting him on the outstanding warrant, because it was agreed sometime back that cops would just issue a ticket for a past minor misdemeanor, for him to appear, because it ain't worth the hassle.
There is going to need a major reshuffle in both the police and proceedures once these cased have been settled
I read somewhere (or perhaps just made it up) that she was a huge Trekkie and had just been to a convention where she had been role playing as Lieutenant Uvavu and had been using her phaser (set to stun) heavily ... she was misquoted when it was reported that she mistook her gun for her taser ... she actually mistook it for her phaser and the black dude was caught in a crossfire as she was reacting to Klingons on the starboard bow ... as such, she will likely be awarded a distinguished conduct medal and be retired on a full pension instead of facing any charges
