Thats fucked..... Not sure what else to say.

Lol. The little bit of audio and video shows him not co-operating.... then he gets shot.

Did the kid ask the Ranger to pull his gun instead of the tazer? "Come on, be real with me...the other one." Did I hear that right?

The missing 26 seconds ov video and the way the Ranger acted after the shooting is what im questioning.
Even if that's the case, the Ranger should have known better than to play that game with him.. Kid was unarmed and the tazer should have been more than enough for the fat ass to get the skinny kid on the ground.

was it articulated that he was being arrested. why was there so much "down" time where no instruction was given
"turn around" WTF is that?
escalating a situation with a tazer and then using the lack of effect of such, to justify shooting someone with a lethal weapon should remove any sort of personal protections from the ranger.
It sure seemed like the ranger had no idea how to handle someone not complying.
well, I'm not sure he was actually not complying with any sort of lawful order. Of course, in fatty ranger's opinion, he was assuredly not complying

Yes sir, is all he needed to say to still be alive. Everyone involved made lots of mistakes.
it's just nuts that stopping somebody for speeding ever escalates to needing a taser. was he drunk? why was he out of his vehicle anyways?
I feel it's likely that the ranger did not deserve to be called sir.
He likely was intending to arrest him over a minor traffic infraction. It's a predatory move that is common in some police departments and definitely amongst the lower tier law enforcement agencies. They make what is essentially an unlawful arrest, have the vehicle towed and impounded, then do not press charges at or near the 24 hour period, and instead issue the traffic citation. The victim is then left with a wasted day/night by being arrested, the tow and impound fees, plus the original traffic infraction. It's to "teach people to obey the police" and it's bullshit. That said, you are right, if he just went along with it he'd be alive and could fight the arrest, fees, and even the citation. As to the likelihood of getting anywhere with that, well, it's really low. There's a reason why a lot of people hate LEOs, and it isn't entirely because white guilt liberals love jumping all over black dindonuffin cases, it is because there is actual problems with some LEOs abusing their power in some circumstances.

Toxicology said clean.
Read my above comment about it likely being predatory arrest. He likely was told to get out of the truck, but that part isn't on video.
