    Why do you have armed in scare quotes. It isn't like the guy was a plumber and was replacing some sprinkler piping, the pipe was wrapped with some sort of wrapping and had a wrist loop. It's a tragic situation, because it doesn't seem like the guy was actually a threat and instead just couldn't hear them telling him to drop the pipe. Probably no criminal culpability for the officer though.

    Looks to me he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Unfortunate situation.

    Wrong place, wrong time. He was in America when cops were around.

    I say 'armed' because he was 15 feet away and it was a freaking pipe. If he was closer, then I could see the justification. 15 feet away and the taser should have been enough.
