I guess tazing a guy in his testicles and penis are just foreplay for you?
I'm OK with drug abusers who take their kids along in a car to get high. Hopefully they put enough juice into the tweeker punk's nads to sterilize him so he doesn't bring any more kids into the world to neglect and abuse.

Yeah, you need this to happen to you so you can learn why we have laws that dont allow the police to do things like this.

When the guy gets his six figure settlement from the Glendale police dept. after his lawsuit, the money should come directly from the pension fund of the police dept. The insurance company should sue them to pay for their losses. Any increase in insurance costs the dept. will have should come from the police pension fund. When currently retired police officers see their benefits reduced as a result of gross negligence and incompetence, they won't allow unfit officers to serve with them. When todays officers see their future benefits reduced, they'll clean up their ranks.
The community and the taxpayers shouldn't have to pay.
A nice gesture on the police dept.'s behalf would be to have an " Egg a cop day." Where people could throw eggs at police cars.

In MANY state it IS, Sorry to rain on your parade.
In no state does it. Pissing on my leg is not raining on my parade. The Constitution applies to everyone no matter where they live in the United States.

That being said one should not have violate their own civil liberties when a cop asks them to do something they do not legally have to do for fear of being attacked or killed by a cop.

In Arizona passengers do not have to show ID to a cop on a routine traffic stop. The passenger had the right to refuse and the cop should have dropped it right there. The cop should be fired and never allowed to work in law enforcement again.
They dont anywhere without a valid suspicion of committing a crime. No one as a passenger is even required to have an I.D. on them.

Except for that last part, I wouldn't be adverse to this. Yes, there are a lot of good cops out there, but they shield the bad ones and this is what we get for it. I would like to see these complacent officers feel some real pain for the real pain they cause so many citizens with their misguided loyalty.

Hit 'em where it hurts, in their bank accounts. That might be the only way to get their attention, because letting these bad apples off the hook time after time after time isn't helping anyone, least of all the good cops out there.

Utter scum. I don't know how the police control themselves as well as they do. Nut tazing this POS tweeker scumbag is fine with me. One of the most enraging things I see is people doing drugs around their young children. Scummiest of the scum, but police have to realize they are causing more harm now that cameras capture these encounters. How do they feel that these lowlifes are getting sympathy and a big check...

Reaching under his seat and stuffing something between his legs creates reasonable suspicion.

Someone in the backseat, tossing a bag full of unopened bottles out a window during a routine traffic stop creates reasonable suspicion.

None of it explains tazing his testicles.

Questionable shooting then complete silence. Stonewalling. It is far more likely for bad police shootings to be ignored or swept under the rug than for the cops to be held accountable.
There was no reasonable reason for him to have fled the scene of the accident, especially given he was rear- ended.

There is no reasonable reason he chose to give chase.

There is no reasonable reason for the Police to shoot him.

There is no reasonable reason for the way his family was treated, in the aftermath.

There is no reasonable reason for the lack of transparency of the investigation.

While you are right but one does need to note......the officer in Baltimore that was willing to testify against his fellow officers got shot and killed by one of them.

They obviously have no desire to legally hold one of their fellow officers responsible for murdering another officer so there arent many options left.
