Mediocre, then?
 
How did things escalate to the point where she thought she was firing a taser?

I think she's guilty of something, and a case can certainly be made for manslaughter (but I would say "at the very most"). But why resist arrest and put the officers in a position where they must make split-second decisions regarding the use of force?
The logic to me would be that he was diving back into the car, immediate thought is possibly diving back there to get a gun. But if that was the case and you thought he was going for a gun, you would just drop him instead of going for the taser.

To me, if she went for the gun and fired without screaming "TASER! TASER!", the argument would be possibly better. He resisted arrest, jumped into his car, I thought i saw him go for a gun or weapon, so I reacted and fired, instead of "I was an incompetent fuck and pulled out my gun instead of my taser and got a man killed".

Of course, this could just be female cops panicking and going for the most lethal option available.
 
Is Fowler hesitating because he's tripped up, or because he's trying to give good answers?

A bus filled with Indian elementary school students is hanging off the side of a cliff in Rajasthan. The only things keeping the bus from tumbling into the abyss are a vhs cassette with undeniable proof of Chauvin's innocence, and a pair of Amy Voss's used panties. If you only take one, either the cassette or the panties, there is a 50% chance the bus tips off the cliff. If you take both, 100%. If you take neither, the bus and the children are saved. What do you do?
