They've been somwhat subdued as of late. Probably too busy singing the Horst Wessel Lied just substituting 0bama at the appropriate places.
He should have learned a lesson from this, actually two: 1. The law enforcement officer is in no way form or fashion, your friend. now the old policeman, deputy sheriff, or peace officer was. But that is not the case today. Lesson number two: When possible, give the cops a wide berth, and remember lesson 1.
Not surprising.
ZING
That should be lesson three George should have learned.
Ha ha ha ha. My crystal ball shows them getting a couple of days suspension with pay at the very worst.
Thugs with badges.. and attitudes.
If it happens,I am sure the jackboot lickers will be along shortly, if not before, and let the world know that, if the tazee got a taser dart in the eve, he/she deserved it.
More details here from the local newspaper:

I bet he never waves to a cop again...
??????????????????????????????????
Even if he gave them the finger, so what? It doesn;t excuse wha they did.
NAZIs.
Never. I wonder what the Brits think of us? Probably what I think of us.
“You are not supposed to aim the taser at someone’s face. Imagine those little darts in your eyes!”
Apparently there exist some cops in the US who can imagine those little darts in your eyes.
While your post seems to make sense, this situation should have never made it to the, ‘taser in the face’ stage.
The cops should have been able to have a conversation with this individual and everybody should have been able to go on and enjoy the rest of their day.
The phrase ‘To Serve and Protect’ seems so outdated anymore.
The cops anymore think they rule us.
Worth reading the full article. The pastor sounds like a very level-headed and fair person.
I’m pretty sure you’re not allowed to “swear” at a cop. Many years ago I was arrested for saying “Fuck” (not “fuck you”) to a cop who had pulled me over for driving a moped through a red light. I was acting bummed that he thought it necessary to give me a ticket for stopping and then going through the light (it was the middle of the night) and he said, “if you say anything I will arrest you”, and I said.......
I had people cuss and swear at me all the time. I cannot remember how many names I was called. I just ignored it until it crossed the line of a threat, they actually touched me, or did not follow a lawful command.
