I’ve seen some of the video of the incident and one thing popped out. The officer carried her gun in a holster on the right side of her belt. She carried her Taser on the LEFT side of her belt and was, i assume, trained to draw it with her left hand. How could she have mistaken her gun for her Taser? It’s also clear from the video that she was hysterical, scared out of her mind. Why would a 26 year veteran of the force react that way to a traffic stop?
