Sorry but he needed to be tasered random thoughts Send a noteboard - 26/08/2010 02:57:19 AM
Couple of things. There was not license plate on the vehicle which is a sign that it could a stolen and that would make this a dangerous situation. Next to domestic calls traffic violations is one of the most dangerous things cops do. For all you know he has a kilo of coke in the trunk and is willing to kill to stay out of prison.

You are wrong if you think the officer was not in any danger. He was standing on the narrow shoulder of a busy road with a person beginning to shows signs of aggression standing next to him. One good shove and his is dead. He had the taser out and was giving clear instructions that were being ignored. Was the person going to shove him into to traffic? Probably not but when being wrong means you end up dead you tend to not want to take the chance.

When you point a taser at someone and they continue to act belligerently and actaully move towards you when you are standing very close together you have to pull the trigger. That man was tasered because of his own stupidity. I kept thinking he was going to tase him again to make him shut up. That would have been wrong but you know he thought about it.

the guy tasing the man holding the baby should be fired at least.
