Tasers are not a particularly useful tool under the 9th Circuit case law, which in essence restricts them to higher levels of resistance where they not useful. I would get rid of them because they now take up space and the moonbats who think cops shoot too many people think they should be used instead of firearms.
The only reason for a settlement would be the standard dishonesty of the anti-cop plaintiff's bar and the standard malpractice of the LE defense bar.
Contrary to the crazy assertions of the 9th Circuit, there is no reason to give a warning before using deadly force other than in a fleeing felon circumstance, which this was not, and then only if feasible. If the suspect does not hear or does not obey, that does not matter. All that matters is that this is a garden variety self-defense shooting based on case law that is far older than the 4th amendment seizure case law.
