POSTED: 7:15 am MDT September 17, 2008
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- A 40-year-old Florida man walking his dog in the nude was Tasered by police when he refused to follow an officer's commands.
David McCranie of the Tallahassee Police Department said an officer on patrol spotted the man last Friday night.
The man was asked what he was doing and told the officer, "Allah told me to watch a Bruce Willis movie and walk the dog," McCranie said.
“He was obviously having some sort of emotional distress,” he told the Tallahassee Democrat. “It was unfortunate we had to use the Taser. … It was the only way we could subdue him without having to hurt him.”

Hey, it can happen.
Whoa, maybe Allah is not as bad as I’ve believed.
Whatever. Obviously, this guy is off quite a bit but these cops are getting a little taser happy IMO.
Strange. Usually they shoot the dog.
ROFL
I think I scared the neighbors!
I know some think every time a man unzip his pants his brains fall out so no telling what happens when these men are void of clothing...... so boys keep those clothes on !!!!!!!
Was his leash circumcised?
I hate it when that happens.
Let's just hope it was 'Die Hard' and not 'Disney's the Kid' or 'Hudson Hawk'
giggle
Damn...that’s the second time this week I’ve been tasered...
Here's a little more detail on the Bruce Willis watching-In The Buff-Dog Walker.
Btw, Which Bruce Willis movie?
Tallahassee police say using Taser on mentally ill man 'justified'

The Tallahassee police report of an incident this month involving the Tasering of a mentally ill man states it was not an excessive use of force. However, the incident has prompted debate among some readers.
On Sept. 12, police received at least two calls from citizens about a naked man walking his dog on the sidewalk of Hartsfield Road. The first officer on scene gave him a yellow emergency blanket to cover himself. The man – who only wore tennis shoes -- was holding a plastic bag in each of his hands and would not drop them when the officer told him to.
When the officer asked the 40-year-old man what he was doing, he told the officer Allah commanded him to watch a Bruce Willis movie at 4 p.m. and then walk down the street naked, according to the report.
Then, two more officers arrived as backup, the report stated. One of the officers got out a Taser. They asked the man several times to drop the bags and turn around. When he wouldn’t listen, the officer Tasered him. The man fell to the ground, suffering minor scrapes, so that the officers could cuff him.
The man was taken to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital for involuntary mental-health evaluation and treatment.
The man was wearing an ankle bracelet around his leg at the time because he had been charged with stalking, the report said.
The officer who Tasered the man wrote in his report that the man was “increasingly agitated” and was holding the leash to a medium-sized black dog that looked like it was part pit bull. The officer indicated in he was concerned for his own safety. When asked if the dog would bite, the naked man said “she might.”
The dog was later found to be friendly and was picked up by Animal Services, the officer wrote in the report.
One of cops said “Sir, would you please put a muzzle on that?”
Happens to me all the time.
As long as he didn’t say to the cops: “Yippee-ki-yay #&$^$!@!# “
Good ole uhhhla , is not God but likes an action movie. Probably stuck in that stone in Saudi arabia and only gets stoned..needs a movie.
Makes me wonder whether this guy is related to Dan “What’s the frequency, Kenneth?” Rather.
I have an alibi.
Sounds like he’s headed for shock therapy anyway, so what’s the problem? he’s got a head start.
Lolz. I would be kind of afraid of cops weilding an electrical shock device while I am naked. That’s just me, though, I want to protect certain body members.
