    GD> I am deflecting anything but did provide the actual facts that prove   
    GD> that  1. I am not deflecting    
      
   You are deflecting when you attempt to present some other argument.   
      
    GD> 2. I have proven that your statement is inaccurate.   
       
   My statement is taken from a link you supplied.   
      
    DS> It depends.  If it were always a deadly weapon, then why bother using it   
    DS> instead of a gun?  It is only a deadly weapon in some situations -- and   
    DS> this was not one of them.   
      
    GD> Because Dale.  Brooks ... did ... have ... a ... gun ...   
      
   Really?  That is not in any of the reporting.  Enlighten us all as to   
   your evidence that he had a gun during the incident that led to his   
   being shot in the back.   
      
    GD> There is no area of confusion or no ability to twist either, when it   
    GD> fits your narrative.  You can't have it both way when it suits you.    
    GD> The District Attorney ruled that the use of a taser "IS" a deadly   
    GD> weapon.    
      
   Quote the ruling.  When is a taser a deadly weapon?  I do not believe   
   that it can be considered as such when discharged randomly in the air   
   from a considerable distance.  Site the ruling that shows I am wrong.   
      
      
    DS> I did not see or hear that in the video -- show me the time spot where   
    DS> it occurred.   
      
    GD> Again the video can be found at    
      
    GD> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5QEnGkIbzA   
      
    GD> 1:34 and then from there it shows in detail what those charges were.    
      
   OK since it was not on the video in question, you dug up some other   
   video by a youtube blogger.  I'm sure that if one searches enough they   
   can come up with some source to say anything they want to say.  In any   
   case, looking at time 3:12 the blogger goes on to claim that the DA has   
   declared that a taser is a deadly weapon.  He presents a chart from the   
   GA code that he claims supports his statement.  However, it explicitly   
   outlines conditions under which an object might result in a charge of   
   aggravated assault.  That article doe not mention a taser, and for the   
   case in question the taser as discharged by Brooks does not fit the   
   definition in the statue.  It was not discharged in a manner that did or   
   could result in serious bodily harm.   
      
   Try again if you can come up with a credible source.
