BreaksTheEarth"You know what? This is just ridiculous!"
Did the cops finally catch up with Huell Howser?
ponceleonHmmm, it's kind of a push... a bit excessive, but if you look closely at the beginning, the car was pulled over because they didn't have a lisence plate on the back of the car... not that it is a major thing, but they WERE pulled over for more than just going 70 in a 65 zone.
There's also some sort of disagreement in the front seat which is hard to make out, there are two people talking, so it is hard to say if lip is being given or not.
That said, he does seem to be a bit trigger happy. I mean, whenever I'm pulled over, I make a point of being polite as to never give a cop and excuse to flip out (and yet, they do flip out on occasion). So yeah, not a great example of cop over-reacting, but I'll go on the side of ridiculous for the quickness of the draw.
blankfist^So, you're saying, yeah, the cop might've been a bit excessive but they are also to blame because they were not being obedient to the cop?
enochWORK/CONSUME/OBEY,anything else and your not being a good slave and therefore must be punished.
ponceleonI'm saying it isn't quite as insane as some of the other videos I've seen where the cops just wail on a guy for something like asking for a badge number. Still think he's being excessive, but I've seen a lot worse.
jdbatessays...He was asking for drivers license and insurance, you have to provide that when pulled over, then when she got out it looked like she slapped at his hand. If I look at this as if I were on a jury, the officer did nothing wrong.
andybesyDo you think he should have been shot dead? In the UK at least the taser is presented as a non-lethal alternative to a traditional firearm, which seems entirely reasonable, yet the reality is that it's used to control and punish with pain.
It was reasonable for the cop to pull the guy over and ask to see his documents, and I distinctly heard the guy say "hold on while I find them!", but too late, Mr Cop has already seen red, he's angry and he's going to punish you. The cop has the right to defend himself, but he doesn't have the right to judge and sentence you.
I live in the UK, and I'm a law-abiding citizen. I don't hate the police, and don't rebel against authority just for the sake of it. Whenever I discuss tazers with my folks they make the argument that if your not doing anything wrong you have nothing to fear. Is this the case?
pho3n1xwow... from approach to tazer fire, 45 seconds...
someone's got a short fuse.
videosiftbannedmeTo PROTECT and SERVE. I'd hate to think what they do when they're aren't "protecting" the public.
