Default Re: Ride With The Taser

Yo, borderline? Cop tells him to put his hands up and turn around, and he reaches into his pockets. The only excuse for this is to not speak any English (and that usually won't be a comforting excuse when you're shot anyways)

I fault the cop much more for the way he handled the stop before he tasered the guy than for using the taser. I think he could have talked him into signing instead of immediately moving to arrest him when he refused to sign. I watch "Cops" fairly regularly, and a lot of the cops you see there verbally defuse situations that are much crazier than this one. I really don't think think the idiot speeder even realized he was being arrested. No question the speeder was a moron, but the cop was pretty bad, too.
