Tasered For Sitting Non-Confrontationally

This video shows the Tasering by an armed government worker of a man who was not in any way “resisting” or posing a “threat to officer safety.” The man is shown sitting on the curb, his hands placed in such a way as to convey to the armed government worker he isn’t any kind of “threat” to the “safety” of the armed government worker. But that is not enough to avoid being tortured by armed government workers.

The man apparently wasn’t sufficiently “compliant” with the armed government worker; who can be heard barking orders at the man before he Tases the unarmed, non-confrontational man in the back like the coward-thug he is:

It goes without saying that the armed government worker probably won’t be criminally prosecuted for this brutal, unprovoked assault. He may be reprimanded; might even lose his job. But he won’t become a felon – and it will be taxpayers who are made to fund the damages awarded to his victim by any civil court.

It makes my teeth ache.
