I still don't fully understand how this happened. In my area police don't routinely carry tasers, but when they do they carry them on the opposite side from their gun hand in a thigh, not belt, holster. And they are yellow. If she carried her gun and taser next to each other, seems like catastrophe would practically be guaranteed.
