Police Officer Quits After Taser Shock

An Ocoee police officer quit a day after he was shocked with a Taser when Apopka police were called to the scene of a roadrage incident.

Norman Willis and another off-duty officer said they had been cut off three times by a pickup truck early Thursday when they were confronted by two men at an intersection.

Apopka police say the Ocoee officers got into a fistfight with two men from the pickup, and Willis lost his service pistol in a struggle with a passenger from the pickup. Apopka police shocked Willis as the two men were scuffling.

1. Funny how they didn't bother to ask him WHY he quit.

Or maybe they asked but the answer wasn't PC.

2. They know why but is it really any of the peoples business?

The job isn't for everyone. Obviously it was a very bad situation and the Officer could have been killed. That freaks out alot of people. No shame in quitting.
