White guy runs and gets paralyzed, lawsuit?

It happens a lot, just doesn’t get the attention. Having said that, not sure he should get anything. I don’t think Jacob Blake should get anything either
I feel nothing. (pun intended)

If you want to know everything that is wrong with that generation:
"That officer pretty much made a choice for me to be a prisoner in my body," Root said.
He said, after running from the police.

Was it from the way he took a header into the concrete?
I don't recall any stories of a tazer paralyzing a person.
That said, unless there is something that the officer did to make his tazer some kind of super paralyzing tazer, the lawsuit should be thrown out. You can not be the reason for an accident and then blame someone else.

Broken neck from the fall apparently.
Unless their is some policy violation, it’s bad luck for this guy.
This may be an unpopular opinion, but I don't agree with taser usage for a fleeing/uncooperative suspect who has not been violent and is not threatening violence.
Eff him. FAFO and all that. He gets to live with the consequences of being a POS.
See, I’m good with shooting the legs. Taurus judge with the.410
I think it's a good compromise between shooting him, and chasing after him with a very large butterfly net.
And then when some dude doesn't stop until he bleeds out we deal with more dumb shit.
I feel like I am probably going to hell for laughing at this.
Yeah because fleeing suspects have never been known to have just committed a violent crime or be carrying a weapon.
That probably has never ever happened...

Side story, found out a few weeks ago that one of my buddies had his vehicle stolen a few months back while on a vacation. Did not sound like a good time at all having to get all that info turned into insurance and having to rent a vehicle to get back home.
To make things worse is that his wife had her wedding ring in the glove box because a diamond on it was lose and they thought it would be safer in the glove box versus leaving it in the hotel room. Car was stolen right out of the hotel parking ramp.

If I was completely redesigning law enforcement from scratch, maybe I’d factor this in, but as it is, I’m just going to evaluate based on current protocols. If the taser use falls within normal accepted protocols and wasn’t modified or used in a particularly dangerous way, then it doesn’t become problematic just because the guy fell in an unlucky way and ended up with an unexpected physical injury.
Would be different if the guy was up on a ledge or climbing a tree or in a place where a taser would likely cause an obvious fall or something.
The Harris Walz campaign is kicking themselves that this guy was white. Nothing like a ginned up racial controversy 90 days before a election.
Looks to me he was about to endanger the public by running out into traffic. Secondly it appears he wasn't wearing the proper safety equipment to engage in a chase with the police.
Not surprised he found an ambulance chaser to take his case.

“I’d rather have gone to prison.”
How about instead saying “I wish I didn’t steal that car.”?
Some people just never learn.

I'm not saying he should win his lawsuit. The police officers were presumably following their standard procedure.
I'm saying that if people take a deep breath and try to be objective, isn't it is a little concerning that Americans have grown accustomed to cops walking around like Sith Lords using force lightning on nonviolent people for "disobeying" their orders.
