Just the way the cop sauntered towards the wood carver, It gave me the impression he thought a lot of himself. Cops say that tasers are not used when the Perp is armed with a knife or Gun, they consider that deadly force towards them. Wood carver is minding is own business and he's almost completely deaf, doesn't hear the demands and POW! The wood carver was a full blown detox drunk that prolly weighed 90lbs with a 3" knife, might of been opened might not have been.
