The bottom line in any altercation where force is used, is that the public is almost always sided against the cop. Its just a given. I have to wonder if Taser's are a bit overhyped in what level of force they are considered. Their basically a ranged stun gun. yeah i imagine it hurts like hell, but the real question to me is, how much acutal bodily harm does it do? Aparently not much, the guy was up and walking about a minute later.
Now i still say the cop was a dick long overdue for a vaction. But i also think that civy was an arrogant punk. If he had been less of a punk, he woudlnt have been jacked up.
