Cop Tries To Taser Man for Refusing to Give ID, Tasers Fellow Cop Instead

[RedFred]

One of my best friends is a cop. A few years back he was working the graveyard shift when they got a call to a bar for a fight. They get there and a drunk guy is trying to fight everyone. When they try to take him outside and control him, he fights them. My buddy was trying to grab the guy's arms and the other officer was going for the legs. My buddy tells the other cop, "Tase him!" The other cop popped the top off the tazer to do a contact taze, missed the guy's leg and ended up tazing my buddy right in the balls. You might say he wasn't happy about it especially because the drunk guy laughed so hard at him he fell on the ground and surrendered.

Passengers don't have to Id unless they've committed a crime. Will be a nice lawsuit for him most likely.

Look at the bright side -- it wasn't a loaded gun.

The officer needs some kind of probable cause to ask for ID. There are enough laws on the books that they can likely find some reason to justify asking for it. I doubt any lawsuit this guy would file would get very far.

Well, if it worked ...

Hysterical chick thinks screaming is going to help the situation.

You can rest assured we give him plenty of shit over this. He'll say something like, "Today at work some crazy chick tried to claw my eyes out." His wife will reply, "Did you try tazing yourself in the balls to see if that stopped her?"

He will hear about this to his dying day.

Black male passenger with white female driver, yeah I'm sure they'll make something up.

I was driving in LA with a car full models and the top down. I told the skeever of the bunch not to light up in my car, so he threw the cigarette at the cops that had just pulled in behind us. I got a ticket, they didn't ask anyone else's names and they saw who did it. Of course we're all white and like "So sorry officers we didn't know" lol

My cop friend used to have amazing stories but my longtime mortician friend, his are better than any, ANY you've ever heard. Amazing the underbelly of life & death cops & morticians experience daily.

It's interesting how things are different from cop to cop. If you watch a show like Live PD you will see some cops clearly have a race bias, others a gender bias and others will work hard to find any reason they can to search the car or arrest the person while still others will shake down everyone in the car. The ones that really bother me are the ones where they stop someone for something simple, get them out of the car then ask if they can search the car. If the person says no, the cop will then go into a mode where they basically manufacture a reason to search the car. If they are going to do whatever they want anyway, why even bother asking?

I imagine that would be one of those jobs that is very interesting at times, very sad at times, and very disturbing.

I saw a documentary awhile back about these investigators that work for Los Angeles County. When someone dies and doesn't have an easy to find next of kin to notify, these investigators take over and try to find family to claim the remains/belongings of these people.

One of the cases was really sad. A trucker had a heart attack and died in a hotel. No foul play suspected, he was in his 50's, overweight, and living a poor health lifestyle. They started looking and found out he may have a son, but they couldn't find him. After a few months, his body was cremated then after a few years with no luck his ashes were put in a large, mass grave with all the ashes from the other unclaimed bodies that year. It was sad to see this guy died and soon after it was like he never existed and very few people even cared.

It looked like one of those jobs that would be very intersting, but also very sad.

Very true. I have zero cop bias. I've had extremely good luck with every cop I've encountered and on a couple occasions they helped above & beyond. I don't even know if it's good luck or typical. Maybe this bad stuff we see is atypical i dunno but sometimes I see what some fucked up cops have done to "minorities" following their instructions and I feel rage. Shameful.

But yeah, some have a real bias and every one of those motherfuckers need to get weeded out they put shade in all the rest.

When I was 18 I worked in an old folks home for a year. It changed my life. I think every teen should be mandated to volunteer in an old folks home for a bit. You really get a full circle perspective of the ending of a full life lived. I had a woman I cared for that was an author, had an amazing life, kids around the country, and she'd just gone blind. But she'd tell me the most vivid stories from her writing and her life, and I'd sit at the foot of her bed, or brush her hair while she did so, it was like eyesight at this stage was secondary to here imigination and good health. So many stories from the old folks home and lessons learned that last a lifetime, like how easy it is for family you raised to set you aside but for 3 visits a year.

My mom is 77 and now lives in a retirement/assisted living place. One lesson that place has taught me is to not be an asshole to my friends and family. There are several people who live there who are just raging asses to their kids and other family members and now that they are old/disabled, those people hardly ever come to visit. On the other end of the spectrum, there is a guy there that is in his mid 90's and had a pretty cool life. He has told me stories about how his dad worked for the railroad back in the 1930's and 40's. When he was a little kid (8-12 years old) he and his brother, who was a few years older, would use his dad's free passes and ride the train from Seattle, where they lived, all over the country. They would ride down to San Francisco for a few days or down to Los Angeles or over to Chicago. Never had any issues and always had a blast. If a parent let their two little kids do that today they would be thrown in jail. That guy, in general, has a lot of great stories. He worked as a teacher, worked on a gold mine for a few years, was a paster and founded a ministry in Africa, was in the military. I told him he should write a biography of his life.

I know a lot of cops and have been around them my whole life with family and friends that were cops when I was a kid. My experience is that most of them are good people just trying to do a good job and make their way through a very difficult job. However, there are others that are bad and need to be removed. A lot of the time, when you see a cop not being very nice, it is because they have dealt with the person they are dealing with at that moment many times in the past, but some of them have massive egos and enjoy asserting their power. There is a guy my friend works with who has said every day he sets out with the goal of taking at least two people to jail that day. That shouldn't be his goal. His goal should be to do his job and enforce the law. If that leads to taking someone to jail, so be it, but he should be trying to find ways to arrest people.

Yeah the small minded cop with his twisted quirk is the worst lol like "I have to frisk 10 people a day" or "every stop must result in a ticket" or the ones that handcuff people unecessarily for the power trip of it lol I got pulled over for a tailight out last year, a block from my house and one of the cops was cool, but his partner cold hard stared at me through the rearview , eyes locked, the whole time. I'd never experienced that before maybe it's a new protocol to make sure the driver isn't getting a gun? Lol seemed unecessary. He wasn't an asshole but maybe he had a bad day I dunno it was weird.

I actually hate those shows for that very reason. I realize it isn't a easy job being a cop, but many of them really earn the rep of public hatred.

When I was about 25 I was pulled over while on the way to a job. All my equipment was in the back if my truck and it was obvious I was working.

I was on the verge of being late to an appointment and the cop insisted on searching my truck, so to speed shit along I let him..

He found nothing because I had nothing to hide. The kicker was I didn't get a ticket or warning for anything. I wasn't speeding nor did I violate any traffic laws.

The short was the cop claimed I looked suspicious and he just pulled me over.. I was like WTF, gives you the right to look at someone who hasn't broken a law and harass them..

That one moment changed my perspective on cops by a landslide and those cop shows on TV back up the fact that the bulk of these guys are power raging assholes who violate peoples rights as a daily routine..

Now just think of if you lived in a poor area and had cops doing this around you daily. They make criminals out of people by fucking with them over little shit, over and over..

I'm a firm believer in the idea, that more cops equals higher crime rates in a area because they have to bottom troll looking for busts to make themselves valuable..

When I lived in Australia I had a huge house on the water with a dock & everything. One night I get a knock on the door from two detectives saying they needed to search the house for a property theft claim. I was like "theft of what?" as they walk in and start looking around. Evidently the previous owner had some claim that a small drinking bar was left at the house at time of sale and he wanted it back. Whatever. They looked inside out no bar. I didn't have anything to hide I didn't care, but they clearly violated my rights.

I can't count how many times I was speeding or didn't stop before turning and got pulled over with just a warning. :D

My son's wild emo girlfriend did a hit and run in his car two weeks ago. His car is in my name. She rear-ended a 2017 BMW SUV, yeah, she did that, while watching the top go down on my son's car while talking on the phone going 10 miles an hour to a red light. Then she speeds off. Luckily there was a witness that took pics so the cops could show up on my doorstep last week. Are they going to arrest her? No. Are they going to charge her? No. They just wanted to get my insurance info. She didn't tell me or my son about the accident either. I told the cops to arrest her and teach her a lesson. They laughed and refused She won't last with my kid he doesn't suffer fools or liars

I don't know what the fuck is going on with cops in America so many mixed messages but no personal bad experiences yet and I don't expect there to be any knock on wood

As Charles Bukowski said "I don't know if I hate the police, but I seem to feel better when they're not around".

[adultchatpay]

Officer 1: "You got me"
Officer 2: "Sorry Nick"
I think i heard the lady laugh.... lol
