Whether the wound is "justifiable punishment" or not is not the point. Chasing down a suspect that has shown himself to be irrationally violent (whether because of drugs or mental issues) is potentially dangerous. He may be armed. He may be jacked up on PCP. He may think he is the reincarnation of Jesus Christ. I would rather a suspect get a leg wound than possibly have an officer get shot or stabbed (and who knows what happens to the suspect after that).

That has nothing to do with this case.

He may not have been in range. I've never try tazing a sprinting person, so I have no idea how difficult it might be, and I suspect that you don't either.

On the real though, cops are pussies these days. Fat ****ers too mostly. Coming from an exmilitary perspective, a cop should be able to run a mother****er down and whoop his ass. I dunno how they are in Canada but here where I'm at they're all lazy, out of shape, pompous bastards and I've never seen a one of 'em that could catch me.

So he should put himself in danger to catch some random jackass who may or may not have a weapon? **** that. If it were a choice between that or letting him go, I'd just let him go.
