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

 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> 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.
