What??? You have got to be kidding now, right?? Where did this load of BS come from?

Again.... SO much is wrong with this last post, it’s hard to know where to start.

First off... How do YOU KNOW that this driver exceeded the speed limit? Because this proven liar of an officer says so? What if there IS NO previous sign? Was he clocked on radar exceeding the limit? If so, the officer never says so. Why should the driver “accept the responsibilty for it like a man” if he hasn’t done anything? We don’t know whether he did, or not.

I still contend, that.. Massey was not disrespectful in trying to ask questions about what was going on. This was NOT a long conversation.. Massey was certainly not “ordering the policeman around”... he was just trying to talk to him to understand what he was being accused of. Man.. what a terrible thing, a motorist that wants to talk! Oh, the horror!

I have said NOTHING about taking all tasers or guns away from officers. If you think I am “anti-police”, you are very wrong. I know several personally (including my next door neighbor, and 1st cousin). I am a CONSERVATIVE, and generally supportive of the LEO’s in the world. But.. I also know abuse, arrogance, and sloppy procedure when I see it.

The “four times” Gardner told Massey to “turn around” took less than 3 seconds to take place. Gardner had no intention of waiting for compliance...he was JACKED UP, and determined to taze this guy. period. But again, they NEVER should have gotten to this point.

Actually... I’m done talking about this anymore. There is absolutely NO REASON (other than poor judgement) for Gardner to tell Massey to “hop out of the car”. There was NO CAUSE for an arrest in this case. Anyone who thinks there was... well, they’re just looking for ways to cover for a cop making a VERY POOR decision.

It’s really not debatable. So, I will quit. Have a nice life.
