The cop did the right thing.
The cop told his colleague a story that differed from the actual facts. That argues against his actions being beyond reproach.
the legal thing not the right thing... sometimes you can be technically correct and still do things wrong..
The cop should have:
a) told the guy that the ticket is only a receipt for a court date to dispute the charge, not an admission. (Before he asked the guy to get out of the car
b) told the guy he was under arrest before he tazed him
c) read the guy his rights (yes I know he did not have to do it at that moment but what would the harm have been)
The millions of people will watch this. Millions of people will now hold cops in even lower regard. Good job officer.
No, he didn’t.
