Sorry if that story is true, but I’ve watched enough cops to know lots of bad guys deserve to get zapped.
I’ve heard some pretty outlandish accusations against cops that have proven to be entirely unfounded. I’ve also heard a few unbelievable stories about cops that turned out to be true.
I’m not familiar with the source of this story “Courthouse News” was it? Could be a rag for ambulance chasers or a truthful blog.
The Jury Awards More money on embellished stories.
It probably is embellished, but cops do bring it on themselves when they think everybody should absolutely submit unquestionably.
Ideally, the sound will be heard globally as 120-million guns are fired almost in unison. The massive sonic shockwave will affect the rotation of the Earth on its axis, and North America will become a tropical rain forest as a result.
True story.

Well, maybe not...
"You Will Respect My Authoritah!"
“Less than lethal” became “Compliance Devices”. We all said they would over 10 years ago when they became popular, yet, the LE crowd said they would not.
Here’s the account from the local newspaper:

Reminds me of Everybody Loves Raymond where Robert arrested a deaf guy who has signing, because he thought he was throwing gang signs.
Sounds like some candidates for the SWAT Team. If we lower the standards some more for new recuits we will get more of these morons who forget they work for US and were not given that badge to enforce their overblown egos. Our police forces are becoming more like brown shirts then law enforcement. Not much respect left for these jackasses.
He needs to apply for a spot on Rahm’s goon squad.
Another THX1138 event brought to you by your local law enforcement and criminal justice system!
Where did Germany find all those people willing to be Gestapo, SS, prison guards in concentration camps? How could there be that many power-mad, officious, heartless goons in one country at one time?
Basic human nature. Visible every day in the USA. The hiring profiles for police and government workers in the United States excel at finding the type that just will not ever let it go ... they will impose their power relentlessly, and use whatever force they desire. All they are waiting for is the order to escort you into the showers, and they would do so willingly and gladly.
It would be just deserts if these two miscreants were in another country and the police started to talking to them in a language they couldn’t understand.....
Then got an even greater beat down...
I had a (now-deceased) Down syndrome friend. The thought of him being maltreated like this infuriates me!
If any of this is true, every cop involved should be pepper-sprayed, shot with Taser darts, and zapped until the probes burn themselves loose!
Why doesn’t anyone ever challenge the meme that “disrespecting” a cop is a punishable offense? You know, that hoary old “you don’t have to respect me, but you have to respect the badge” nonsense?
Um, you’re WEARING the badge, Professor Wizard. So you are in fact saying that if I don’t cower like a slave, you’re perfectly justified in using force or the awesome power of arrest to ruin me professionally.
I owe cops the exact same amount of respect I give the checker at Ralph’s or the oil change guy at Jiffy Lube. No more and no less. One working citizen to another. And if that’s not good enough for them, they can ask me to take my business elsewhere. They don’t get to use a weapon on me to “teach me a lesson.” Why should cops?
Every cop involved in this incident shouldn’t be carrying any kind of weapon and should be summarily fired.
There seems to be no balance anymore. Something is seriously broken.
Things seem to go from zero to deadly in an eye blink.
Welcome to the USSA, comrades.
A police state is a safe state!
