He fired his Taser, an electronic stun gun, but it did not stop Mr. Scott, according to police reports.

Moments after the struggle, Officer Slager reported on his radio, “Shots fired and the subject is down. He took my Taser,” according to police reports.


Can someone edumucate me on the Taser? Isn't is a "one shot only" kind of weapon? Or do you have multiple little packets of the darts or whatever?

I always thought that you shoot the taser once and then there's a somewhat lengthy reload process. Something a man running from the cops wouldn't really be able to do.

Point being: "He stole my (already used) taser" doesn't even sound like it would give anybody an advantage.
