BS Ranch Perspective
Just what I have read in this News Story of the events makes me believe that Corporal Black was Justified in the Use of Force taken to protect himself, his partners, and any other Civilians that might have been in close proximity to what was going on to any possible further injury from this guys action. The Taser then made it possible to effect way to take the Suicidal man into safe custody without him further harming even himself!!
GREAT JOB, Corporal Black, & Corporal Haynie! I would have loved to have worked with you, it is this kind of life Prevention use of Force, that is great to read about I don't know why it got taken so far that it was a story in the Local News Paper.

Gilberto Moreno Garcia's wife and daughters found him drinking and threatening to cut his throat in front of them on June 11, prosecutors wrote, so they called 9-1-1.
When two Rialto officers arrived, Garcia approached them with a four-foot pickaxe above his head. Cpl. John Black fired several Taser darts at Garcia, who picked them out of his arm, according to the report.
Detective Jacqueline Haynie fired at Garcia after he refused to drop the weapon, hitting him above the left knee.
No charges will be filed against Haynie or Black because "they feared for their lives," according to the report.
