1 Million$ is way too little for this. I hope theres at least a thorough admnistrative inquiry, and hopefully a dismissal.
You dont just Taser people for not doing what you say!!
If you don't taser them for not doing what you say, what do you do?
What if your department tells you: "you will taser them if they don't do what you tell them to do."
Police departments are always looking for the new 'majic gadget.'
I think all cops should be like "Hampster & Big Dummy"... two of the SF cops who made the infamous video about a year or two ago, find a secluded spot, read the newspaper and...... 'Forget about it'
Draw my breath and draw my pay.
