I hope all you cop hating assholes watch the video posted by CoolBreeze. Then come back in here and dis cops. You are clueless and pathetic citizens.
Cops aren't in a laboratory. They are in situations that can turn bad real fast. They have the right to protect themselves and us, the good citizens.
As far as I'm concerned if a cop tells you to do something and you don't do it, he should have the right to shoot your sorry ass.
This is an example of why Sterling Brown was tased and what officers have to think about walking into any almost any situation. Brown's an NBA athlete making millions, how hard is it to follow a cops directions and how hard is it not to be an asshole and park sideways in two handicap spots?
Every situation is different. Brown wasn't walking away from officers trying to hide something. He was right in front of them facing them talking to them!!!! This guy was doing absolutely none of that.
It's a bit different when you are actually having a conversation with about 5 cops surrounding you and they still need to tase you when you are on the ground with 5 cops around you they still tase you. Thats a biggggg difference from what this video shows, they aren't even in the same ball park.
Brown said he had stuff in his hands. Meaning...how can he reach in his pocket for a gun when his hands are full? It's just comes down to common sense.
If dude is walking away with his back to you....failing to follow directions over and over. Then tase his fucking ass.
It's that simple. You don't tase someone who is on the ground when you have 5 cops to help you. Why do you think those cops got in trouble? Because common sense lol. Obviously excessive force. 1 vs 1 and the suspect isn't listening? ??? TASE HIM. Easy. It's like the cops do the wrong shit in the right situations and do the right things in the wrong situations. Use your brain.
