(IMO) I am suspicious of the way this whole thing was reported. The poor innocent emotionally challenged yout' was just sitting there innocently minding his own business, when all of the sudden, Barney Fife kicks the door sown and tazers him.. uh uh. I would need more info before would jump to condemn the L.E. Officer involved.
Actually this isn't how the story was reported at all (read it) - So wy the need for strawman in order for you to try and make your case that the officer did nothing wrong.
He most certainly acted without the professionalism we are demanding of 18 to 20 year old kids in Iraq (a fierce combat zone). The officer's actions and comments are those of an officer that should be out of work (or suspended and then on to a desk job).
The language used in reporting these 'incidents' always reeks of PC sanitization.
