Update to previous post [LINK] about BC's claimed "classic" taser 'save'...
It turns out that the "...intoxicated man..." was actually a 15-year-old child. [LINK]
Sergeant Roger Morrow was actually correct in that this is a classic taser 'save'. A "classic" taser 'save' in the sense that when further details eventually emerge, it becomes even more debatable.
Perhaps the officer could well have used a good old fashioned billy club to whack the intoxicated child on the offered forearm or hand holding the knife. Or used pepper spray. Or who knows...
To claim this as a 'death-prevented' because of the taser, is almost certainly not logically justifiable.
