Man... I just don't get how the two of us can watch the same video, and come to such different conclusions. I went back and watched it YET AGAIN after reading your post.. ALL I hear from the wife is ABJECT FEAR and PANIC. The kind made worse by hormones during pregancy.
For all you cops posting about this.. Here's the BOTTOM LINE>>
We the people, DO NOT EXPECT TO GET TASERED when stopped for a speeding ticket.
Nothing this clown could do or say could stop the ticket from being issued. Send him on his way, let him argue it out it court.
I am still simply amazed that anyone sees this film and wants to defend the officer. wow... The cop HAD TO ASK TWICE for a license! Man! When has THAT ever happened??
Forget the taser... There was NO REASON to arrest this guy. None. THAT was just a cop being a A-hole.. because he could. He doesn't want to sign the ticket? Fine.. don't sign. There's another charge to file against him... in court!
But no... Barney was PO'd. Time to show this idiot who's boss. Well.. who's laughing now, Barney??
I stick to my first prediction about this... it will continue to gain traction and draw attention.. and people will NOT be happy about this.
Don't insult Deputy Fife that way.
