Also, a cops pistol is in a TRIPLE RETENTION holster. It takes a specific movement/sequence to unholster it.
So the tazer explanation is utterly ridiculous on it's face. And at any rate, there is zero justification for tazing a restrained and non-resisting subject anyway.
None.

I don't know if the shooter in this incident was even armed with a Taser, but your conclusions are ridiculous.
If the officer was carrying a Taser, odds are it would be this model:

It weighs about 20 oz.
A Glock 17 weighs about 30 oz. loaded.
Your conclusion, "This would be like grabbing a timing light and somehow thinking you were holding a .44 magnum revolver," again demonstrates that you know less about this subject than you have tried to imply.
