Black Alabama man, 24, tasered by female cop who told him 'your b**** a** ain't so tough now' breaks silence on 'traumatizing' arrest ordeal where he was also wrongly held on fentanyl charge
Daily Mail ^ | December 8, 2023 | Ishita Srivastava

A black Alabama man who had been tasered by a white cop and arrested for trafficking fentanyl is now sharing his harrowing story.

Officer Dana Elmore was seen on camera swearing and tasing Micah Washington, 24, with a stun gun while he was in handcuffs.

He was charged with trafficking fentanyl, but the charge and its accompanying $500,000 bond were dropped after 'further testing' showed the substance in his possession was not the opioid drug.

In an interview with ABC, Washington revealed what had happened during the incident and explained that he had never had a run-in or issue with police before.

'I try to act okay, but I am really traumatized. I don't know how to feel about police now.'

He told the channel that he and his brother were changing a flat tire on the side of the road near his aunt's home when Elmore approached and asked to see his ID.

By then, Washington began to ask what was wrong and why he had to show his ID while complying with her order.

'I was respectful saying yes ma'am, no ma'am,' he said.

'She asked me to go stand in the back of the car but I was like I'm not being detained and I don't have to do anything.

'She grabbed me and I was standing between the back door and driver door, trying to turn my camera on and record her but she tased me for the first time and put her foot in my back after I fell.'

As soon as Washington fell, his brother, Shikeem Washington, began to record the video and on his request, his friend went to get the victim's aunt.

Hehehehe...I did find something interesting-my old link for it on Youtube won’t work. It doesn’t exist there anymore.

It could be a simple copyright thing, but I think not. I think it is because the actor does blackface in it.

Which is pretty funny that the cop says “No, no...I’m not falling for it!”

That was the point when it really got gut-bustingly funny! :P

As for Youtube, piss on 'em.

“Wow, you have aunts and uncles in the middle of the process and they cannot help you get out of a ticket?”

You should run for DA. What a perfect example of how LE will dishonestly twist truth into something it is not. That is so twisted away from what I shared it could only come from an officer, a D.A., or a female mind and female manipulation away from truth and proper context... No one was “trying to get out of a ticket” at all, nowhere in my story does it point to me trying to do that...

You purposely twisted my story into an effort to “try and get out of a ticket” when you know full well that was absolutely not the case. It was the exact opposite. My personal integrity and honesty made me want to just ACCEPT AND PAY THE TICKET because I was guilty and knew I was guilty. My Aunt and Uncle wanted me to fight it, THEM wanting me to fight it is NOT me “trying to get out of it” as you purposely twisted it.

“AND, you drive around with open containers.”

And like a typical officer would, do you automatically presume guilt without knowing the whole situation. Can you read? I WAS NOT DRIVING, I WAS PARKED IN A HANDICAP SPACE. Where does it say I was actually driving when he parked behind me? Or that I had an open container before I was parked? It doesn’t... You automatically presumed guilt before innocence.

This was in the mid 80s. Laws were more lax and it would have been a push to find me guilty of an open container ticket because of the circumstances. I was not the only husband in that parking lot with the keys pulled out of the ignition and having a beer while waiting for our wives in the store. The parking lot was full of people drinking beer getting their boats ready for the water and partying that weekend. In those days it was not illegal to sit in your car and drink a beer if you did not have the keys in the ignition.

Keys out, private property, parking lot full of folks drinking in public... Although I most likely could have beat an Open Container ticket considering the circumstances, I was just glad I didn’t have to also fight one for that too. I just admitted with honesty that he could have, and I was guilty of sipping an open beer while I waited. End of the world right? How many here do that once in awhile themselves while waiting in the car for their wives? I think you would be surprised how many do.

Yet you just twisted my honesty into a crime I didn’t commit. You took a molehill and turned it into a mountain.

“You must be doing something wrong in your life.”

See again the exact opposite of rational reality, I was obviously doing something right if Karma saved me from what could have been a far more expensive mistake. I was lucky he never asked to do a search. But... He was an honest cop and didn’t really see anything obvious that would give him probable cause for a search.

Here is the reality of the situation, while he wrote me that huge huge crime of parking in a handicap ticket he was a far much worse safety threat and impediment to the public. He had all traffic in and out of the parking lot AND in and out of the front pedestrian entrance to the store. He didn’t care how much of a hardship he placed on others who were not guilty of anything.

There were people driving over the sidewalk and over the curb to get to the street and leave the parking lot because he had everyone imprisoned in that parking lot against their will without any rational reason. There were folks piling up both directions in the street trying to get in the parking lot driveway and could not. All that drama and voluntary endangerment to public safety for a $50 parking ticket.

Just brilliant “public service”... But all that matters is that he got his man for $50 and could now puff his chest out like Foghorn Leghorn...

What you just did was absolute crooked pool and a dishonest direct attack. I have agreed with and backed you up many times on here. The fact you would even try to twist it into something it was not like that just destroyed my trust in your judgement and honesty going forward. You responded to my honesty with crooked pool. This is typical DA/officer deceptive practice. It will be the last time I will interact with you or support you about anything...

Actually your assumption of having an open container in a car is incorrect. At least in any state I’ve lived in.

And your defense of drinking in a handicapped spot is not helping your story. lol.

And your reply still does not address or excuse your attempt at crooked dishonest twisting. I was honest, you went out of your way to be dishonest. You are either a female or LE... Your effort to twist and deflect would fit either perfectly...

Oh so someone who disagrees with you must be a “female”? What goes on in your brain? It must be fascinating…like watching bugs.

And you keep getting mad at someone on an Internet forum. You really need to check yourself, because this stuff is making you more angry.

When someone twists and dodges like you do it relates to female brain. Someone can state A-B-C-D-E-F and female brain twists it into M-3-X-41-J-99. It is twisted from something orderly and honest into something that is illogical and irrational in an attempt to manipulate. And just about every LE I have dealt with the last 20 years does similar.

I’m not mad, just stating fact. You are twisting, dodging, and inventing context in my words that is not there. That is typical female manipulation.

And usually, you just hit them when you don’t like what they are saying, right?

They get you all befuddled with their feminine wiles….

See... I didn’t say anything at all close to or related to anything that would cause that irrational thought and accusation. Once again you twisted what I said into something it was not.

I raised three girls, oldest is now 41. And between them and my wife I can spot female attempts to manipulate the conversation into a false narrative from a mile away... Now you are trying to make me out to be a woman beater because I defended myself from YOUR attack on ME... lol

You attack me and now claim to be the victim. That’s funny as heck... lol

This morning a video drop of one of my favorite channels and literally show the danger females causeon the force. It’s mind boggling the incompetence level. Not only did she not take any action whatsoever in deploying less lethal but as another poster pointed out stayed within the line of fire. I stand by my original comment that women have no place on the force and are a danger to themselves and those around them.
