Which was exactly my point.....way too much stuff that led up to the hands on the hood isn't known.

This is on par with wife beating. Keep your cool or turn your marriage certificate (badge) in.

I don't know why the officer held it in place so long, but I'm not taser certified either. And tasers shoot one projectile with two barbed needles and two wires that stick into their target right? So do they also have a stun gun like feature that allows them to be used in that manner? Like I said I have not ever taken the class or been certified with a taser, I'm just curious.

ok, I know that context matters, but it doesn't seem all that relavent in this case.

So what if the guy was trashing the cop's profession, integrity, or favorite cartoon? I can't taser some random idiot cause he has a big mouth, and neither can a police officer.

All I'm saying is that we may not have the "full picture" here - give it time for ALL the information to come out.

I don't disagree. I won't say the guy didn't deserve it. However, the person with authority and/or power has to be responsible to the end.

If it was the heat of a fist fight and the cop shot him, I would not have a problem with it.

Exactly - had they been wrappin' up a major fight, I'd be sayin' "tough luck!" - but as it APPEARS, there's some 'splainin' ta do....for his sake, I hope he can!

I work as an electrician and have a million ohm body resistance. They won't work on me.

There is no reason or excuse for this. No matter what happened earlier or what lead up to this. The man has his hands on the car and is possing no threat to any one. This is rediculous. I cant become a police officer for certain reasons but they let this jack off in and look what he does.
