Could have taken turns with each until he found one that he liked. The tasering was still not deserved.

Amazingly, I think the tazering was deserved. If he won't kneel down and put his hands on his head, then he presents a risk to the cop. Not to mention he was trying to walk away.

He had no visible weapons, and displayed no aggression. From my point of view, there was zero intent there to cause any harm to the police officer.

He asked several times to know what he was being detained for. And the officer refused to acknowledge those requests. I can understand his frustration.

Amazingly enough, the jury agrees with me as well.

He completely deserved it. You need to comply with an officer to insure them of their safety. They may have pulled you over because you/your car match the description of an armed criminal. They do NOT need to tell you why they pulled you over until after you comply to prevent people from running. They deal with too many assholes to act like that and not expect them to get pissy. And once he was tazed he DID resist arrest. They repeated told him to stop resisting.

Do as the cop says...fight them in court later if necessary.

It's not a question of whether it was 'deserved' or not - it's a matter of the guy jumping out of his car to confront the cop & repeatedly failing to comply with a lawful order. After he refused to get back in the car & then to comply by turning around/putting his hands up, the officer must assume that it's a potential 'bad guy' and would be an idiot to not act accordingly. And tazing after repeated refusal to comply vs. physically wrestling/hitting with a baton/shooting is a far better & safer alternative. And the dumbass deserved it anyway for the confrontational attitude & refusing to do as he was told - it's a crock that he was aquitted of resisting, since apparently he fought them even when already down.

Be careful... rational thinking and compliance with law enforcement officers talk doesn't go far around here.

Prevailing opinion is that when a cop tases someone, the cop is always presumed to be the one at fault until the douchebag involved gets awarded money for disrespecting authority.
Then the story automatically changes to "police aren't effective".

This is why I really like that they have video recordings of all pull overs now. It holds both the officer AND the subject accountable for their actions.

You got tazed dumbass.

Who the hell just jumps out of their vehicle when getting pulled over (other than this dumbass)? People that are about to run on foot.

The guy knew that he was going to be a smart ass the second the lights turned on. He deserved it.

You can read minds? Have anything to back up those claims?

Or are you just going by what you've seen on cops?

HokieDNA01 · 11-05-2009, 08:21 AM

cops make it a rule to require you to stay in your car for your safety and theirs. My dad tried to get out one time just to tell the cop he was going to pull up to a safer area and the cop screamed at him to stay in his car. Hand was even on the gun. They have a risky job and can be jumpy about people coming at them.
