Tazer

straight up · Beer Please

I went back and re watched this ... this cop probably beats his kids if they don't comply the first time ...

And ... if you listen to the story he tells the other cop ....   He claimed that he warned the guy that he was going to tazer him ... but he never did ... just shot a confused citizen in the back ....

What is wrong with you ....   What is wrong with you ...   several times he asked the cop ....

I watched the video .... I had no clue what the cop was thinking ... the guy ask to check out the sign after the guy refused to sign .... the cop said alright ... get out of the vehicle .. he did not say he was under arrest ...

I though that the cop was going to show him the sign also ... the guy was walking back and pointing a the sign ... and turned around with a gun in his face .... I was like him ... What The F U C K ???? !!!!!!!

The cop and the guy both had an attitude ... but from what I saw ... he never read him his rights ... or told him the miles over he was being charged for ... or even that he was under arrest ... until after he was tazered ...

No, no, SU When you sign the ticket, you're only signing that you'll appear in court. It doesn't mean you're guilty. Maybe people have unfair outcomes in court, but it's not because they've signed the ticket.

Now I'm scared that SU will refuse to sign a ticket and get arrested. cry

Depends on the breast size of the cop .....

You beat me to it.

The LEO never explains this point to the driver .... who was an idiot to begin with ...

The LEO actions led to the tazering ... He never explained the ticket or the fact the guy was being arrested ... until the guy looked up and seen a gun in his face ..... and by that time the driver was so confused/stupid that he had know idea what he was dealing with .... and that scared him into a defensive posture against the LEO

Not every body is used to dealing with LEO's .... they are not the normal POS that know how to eat dirt every other day .... This officer treated this guy this way ....

If this cop wants cooperation from the folks he pulls over ... he should try a little human personality instead of your shit .... sign here ....

I can see how this guy really believed he was being told to get out of the car to show the cop the sign. But I've seen two videos recently where the cop pulls out the tazer and the citizen starts walking away, and that's what mystifies me. Somebody pulls a weapon on me and I'm going to freeze. Sure, I'm going to object, but I sure the fuck am going to stop walking first. I just don't know what goes through people's heads.

Fer sure ... the driver never should of walked away ..... never should of been out of his car ..... I deal with irate four wheelers all day long ... being a professional ... I just don't run them off the road ..... I have to be the bigger person and make sure they drive away alive ...

This LEO needs to learn how that works .... dealing with idiots takes a little finesse .... Thats all I'm saying ..... It's easy to escalate the situation .... but a professional should have walked away with a signed ticket ...

Instead ... the LEO community has at least two people that hate them ... not to mention all those that see the video and come to the conclusion that they would not want to be treated like that by the police .... So other LEO's will have to deal with this with some other idiot that now believes that cops are going to treat them badly

These videos make me sick. Not only are they far from representative of the great majority of police, they are usually taken out of context. I have some videos of very professional police officers handling very assinine violators. You'll never see that on youtube or anywhere else. No one ever complains about these idiots who are on every roadway in America.

And it's TASER, with an s. Preferable to a beating with a maglight.

Yup .... thats how it's done .. pick one out of a million and trash the whole damn profession ..... which is why my new motto is ...... people suck ..... cause it don't matter the profession .....

This guy might just have been having a bad day .... but as way to many LEO's have explained to me .... your the professional ..... you should have known better ..... doesn't matter what I did kept some moron from dieing under my truck .... that part don't count ... just the fact that I choose safety over the law .... thats all that counts ....

So why shouldn't I use the same standard when looking at other people .....

Tazer verses taser ....

Websters should have asked me how to spell it before they screwed it up ...

Because you're better than that, SU. When have you ever settled for the standards of other people?

Then you'll really love the reason for the spelling. It stands for Thomas A. Swift's Electric Rifle (if any of you are old enough to remember the Tom Swift novels). Tazer always reminds me of a Star Trek toy, not the highly effective and less lethal tool that it is. So, why did I think any of this is important? Because, I am a professional and don't lump all toys together. Trust me, I know cops who make that one seem like a priest.

and I have seen a few of them ... also ... but .... why is it that we only remember the bad thing that happen and seem to forget the good things they do for us ... and that is in all professions ... confused

... seems like it should be the other way around ... but ... sadly it isn't ... weirdface

...

and when someone does ... then they are "braging" or "bosting" ... or something like that ...

sometimes it just makes me sick ... one bad apple can spoil the whole bunch of others ... and ... make you not want to associate / Socialize with the rest ....

not real concerned about the standards of other people .... just tired of having my generosity crammed back in my face like I was some kind of freak ....

So this year I'm going to try to be more normal .... You want help from me ... better damn well be something in it for me or you can go fuck your self ....

Or maybe I should just go find a different group of people to hang out with ....
