Dashcam video: Victoria police officer uses Taser on 76-year-old man



Some of my obsevations:
The pig was fingering his gun from the moment he first approached the victim's car.
The rough stuff starts when the victim objects to the pig attempting to handcuff him. What had he done at that point that would make the pig think cuffing him was justified?

Prediction: 100% chance the pig is not charged with anything over this.

CALL THIS GUY OUT!
MAKE HIM THE POSTER CHILD FOR POLICE OVERREACH!!!
HANG HIM OUT TO DRY!!!

Break the thin blue line or thin blue wall or whatever you want to call it and hold BAD COPS to the fire!!!

I have absolutely no grudge against honorable, public servant minded police. Its a noble profession and a very necessary part of civilization, something that I hold very dear. What I DO object to in the strongest possible terms is the defense of bullying, thuggish behavior of rouge cops by Internal Affairs divisions, District Attorneys and fellow officers just because they wear the uniform.

That video above shows ANOTHER hyper-aggressive cop taking actions against a citizen that can only be described (at BEST) as hostile. These kind of people have noi business whatsoever in law enforcement or being licensed to carry and discharge firearms or non-lethal weapons. He belongs in consoling not a squad car.

STOP DEFENDING THESE GUYS.

I know good cops die, and that is tragic. It is always tragic when someone loses their life to violence - good guys OR bad guys or just plain in the wrong place at the wrong time guys. But defending bad cops does NOT help good cops. It only paints them with the same broad brush. When good cops defend bad cops and the public sees the video, then ALL cops get tarred and feathered.

Support good cops by getting rid of the bad cops, not enursing that they walk free no matter what...
