He stun gunned a guy on a bridge! Why was he even allowed to continue working after the 1st incident?
"HCSO policy states deputies should avoid using a taser on someone who is on an "elevated or unstable surface such as a tree, roof, ladder, ledge, balcony, porch, bridge or stair," or on someone who "could fall and suffer serious injury to the head or other area."

Before he shot Roderick Brooks, he was on top of him and Brooks was flat on his stomach. How is a suspect going to be a threat requiring you to shoot him in the head like that?
