    Pull out both and position taser like flashlight?

    Pull taser out immediately to reduce time drawing it if their is slight indication of violence.

    I’m not sure someone running at you with a gardening tool counts as fighting for your life.

    Police around the world manage not to shoot people in these situations.

      It was basically a knife of a pole. It’s a long reach weapon and most gun instructors will tell you even at 21 feet a hand to hand weapon may have the advantage over a gun. Best not to have potential weapons at the ready when confronting police. This is all armchair quarterbacking at this point anyway. It was a heat of the moment reaction.
