gobiggergoredder Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Responding to a guy that had fallen from a bicycle because he appeared to be hurt. Doesn't sound like there was any violence associated with the 911 called. How the guy even ends up getting tased is beyond me. Link to comment
NUance Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Well, that cop's law enforcement career is over. As it should be. He'll be lucky to find a job as a mall cop now. Link to comment

I almost think that these non-lethal weapons encourage abuse. Link to comment
