PCP I’ll wager
Exactly. And the film should never be shown unless it is shown in its entirety. No clips allowed
I’ll support this cop. To hell with this lady...throw the book at her, make her pay all damages and give the cop a bonus for having to put up with monsters like this lady.
He was handcuffed and surrounded by police when tasered.
Your attitude says it all.
Too many people have been severely injured and killed by these devices.
I would prefer it if the folks whose paychecks come from other people’s tax $$$ learn their place.
Good work officer!
“after she was handcuffed”
No excuse.
Yep , by the time I was 5 years old I knew enough that if a cop tells you to do something DO IT ! Don’t argue , don’t ignore him JUST DO IT , PERIOD. Whats wrong with these people?. The cops aren’t going to keep asking you 100 times over to obey them , you’re going get hurt . That’s the way it is and anyone with a half a brain should understand that .
I’ve been pretty drunk in my younger days but NEVER drunk enough to totally ignore a cops demand. You have to be drunk AND stupid to continue to ignore what a guy with a badge and a gun is telling you over and over again he wants done.
When they returned several hours later, there were several of the city's boys in blue waiting for them. When one of them protested being issued a citation too vehemently, he was subsequently tasered. The dock workers who witnessed the tasering said the guy looked like a spastic monkey while getting a jolt. I wish I would have been there. And strangely enough, I would suspect drinking had a large part to do with the guy being tasered. (smirk)
Why thank you! I think.
I think the larger problem is that the public is forgeting the cop was called to the scene for a reason in the first place. The public is introduced to a scene of violence on tape and then begins to judge who is more righteous in their application of just action, placing the cop on par with the arrested person.
That interpretation, though misses the real picture. Even on cop TV shows with cruiser video beginning after the cop makes a stop, it is very easy for the audience to forget, the driver being arrested/stopped had already likely been driving erratically or unlawfully to justify the stop in the first place. Then when the perpetrator assaults the officer and overwhelming force is applied, third party onlookers might still not understand what is ongoing.
Both of these look like they had a good reason to taser...I don’t know about the part where she was tasered being moved from one patrol car to another because the video only shows her getting tasered while she was going crazy and trying to bust up the cruser...in both videos it looks like the officers did what they had to do in order to get the person to comply...remember, the officer is just as concerned with his own life/safety as you are with your own so if you are in a situation where you are getting arrested comply with the officer and relax (it’s not the end of the world). If they are in the wrong (violated your rights), you can file suit in court against the specific officer (not the police department; go after the individual responsible) and the situation can be sorted out in court after it’s over.
I’m not an officer and have never had training in any way and even I can see that he used excessive force. After she was out of the car he shoves her with his foot. Why didn’t he push her down and cuff her then? He tazed her again and she falls to the side and hits her head on the back of the vehicle landing on her butt. She was on the ground and he didn’t try to take hold of her in any way. He waited until she started to crawl so he could do it again? He’s not much of a man in my opinion. And not who we should have out there to “protect” either. He just had an audience watching from the parking lot and over the fence and he was on some kind of power trip. It’s not like he was out on some country road alone. Are those the bouncers standing there watching him? Saying that she’s uncontrollable is ridiculous. Where was his control? I think he should be removed from the force!
