Taser | Watch Eugene Snelling get tasered for not getting his license and insurance out fast enough. unnecessary use of a taser?

So what happened after?
"Cpl. Thomas O'Connor's immediate supervisor and internal affairs investigators exonerated him of wrongfully using the weapon, saying he was justified because he "perceived a threat," dozens of pages of internal memos and other records said. In May, Cathy Ellison, acting police chief at the time, suspended O'Connor for three days in May for using force against Eugene Snelling and for violating a department policy requiring officers to "respect the rights of individuals and perform their services with honestly, sincerity, courage and sound judgement.""

  • Yes, I think this one is racisim

    I also think this one is racisim, I drive a similiar car, speak like the victim, am about his size...but I am White.
    I highly doubt this would have happened to me.

    Officer whould be watched extremly closely by superiors.

    With regard to black people popping off...yes...sorry to agree with the other guy...our black culture seems to allow talk back, S**t talking, and the such much more than white people and officers should not have to listen to the bullcrap they are dished out. This guy was definitly not giving ANY CAUSE to the officer though.

    Its a shame this officer was not disiplined more harshley.

  • Upon Furthur Review

    Upon Furthur Review this police officer should have been suspended for at least six months without pay and ordered to pay victim about 1000.00.

    Must punish everyone, including officers. Again, generally, I give officers way more right of way than others...but this guy lost it.

  • BRUTALITY

    While I wouldnt call this brutality, this is one case of a out of control officer. I usueally support officers in alot of cases where others call it brutality, but he should have been suspended for MUCH MUCH LONGER.

    Whats scary is this guy is Joe Public that got tazed.

    Three days! LOL. This guy should have ben suspended for two months (without pay).

  • officers when they ...

    officers when they get heated they give all kind of commands, and when the civilian obeys these orders the officers arrests them. example. the officer told the driver that he needs to get out of vehicle, the driver complies, and then the officer said get back to the vehicle, so you want him out of the vehicle or you want him to stay seated? thats the problem, officers when they get heated they give all kind of commands, and then they lose track. this officer needs to go back to training.

  • As a police officer ...

    As a police officer myself I know Tasers are an extremely valuable tool and have kept many an officer and many a suspect from being injured. They allow an officer to control a a resisting suspect without having to go "hands on". While the driver should have complied immediately instead of running his mouth I think this officer was a little too quick to utilize the Taser. I have deployed my Taser only three times since being issued it two years ago.

  • this ass deserved ...

    this ass deserved what he got. he was not even reaching for his license, he wanted to argue with the cop and hold court right there on the highway, like so many black people do. naturally the negroid has to turn it into something racial. he had over a minute to just START reaching for his license but figured he'd give the cracker pig a hard time, guess again dipshit.
