    Total scums bags and then cops wonder why people don't respect them. :rolleyes:

    Thank heavens our cops don't use them here I would be fried like an egg, although I have had plastic bullets fired at me....Yikes!

    Seems in the USA the cops are taser trigger happy. I live in Ohio but am originally from the UK. The cops in the UK are much more tolerant than the US cops.

    No, no, no, no, no...

    Summer, that man wasn't attacking you...

    He was just playing hard to get. Cops in the US are like that... just a tad lacking in social skills.

    By the way, the AdSense ad on that page said:

    That sucks... To think of some of the dumb things I have done or said to a cop.. I guess I've been lucky. Truthfully, not all of them are like that. My neighbor is a cop, and he is far from a hardass. He also manages a Culvers. Fast food and Cop... Hell of a nice guy too!

    Summer, as long as you do not touch the cop, you can flip them off, on top of what you said and it is protected as free speech. I would pursue it. Get the cop fired. What a dick.

    I actually read your blog entry a month or so ago. that's amazing. I can't imagine getting tazered myself, not sure I'd have the cajones to flick off a cop or curse at one though LOL

    The video on that entry doesn't impress me too much, though. It starts too late. What happened 10 seconds before? A minute? There is no context. Its easy to say they are being too rough when the guy is down already and that's all you see.

    Exactly. Any moron can pin on a badge, respect is earned.

    hahaha...Okay, I guess I'll go out with him. Maybe he just thought that I like it rough. :rolleyes:

    Yeah, I know that not all cops are jerk offs. I have friends that are police officers too. The 10 other cops that showed up on the scene were also extremely nice (and totally confused as to why I was under arrest and tasered). I know my rights which is why I didn't hesitate to tell him what I thought. He got embarrassed and lost control, not a good trait for someone that carries deadly weapons for a living...

    I'm pursuing it and will be filing a civil lawsuit.

    haha...:D

    Yeah, I know, but there is no reason that a cop should be tasering someone that is already restrained. Trust me, I've been there. :eek:

    How about the UCLA student that was tasered 5 times AFTER being handcuffed, for failing to show his student ID in the library:

    WTF?

    Be fair now. Those students were warned by Nixon back in the 60s and 70s. You'd think they'd have learned to respect athoritah by now...

    I am not used to those kinds of police power. For me it is horrible to watch and i am happy it is not allowed in my country.

    Sounds like eastern Europe, too.
    Cops here are gullible and stupid (Germany), and I've pretty much told a cop to his face that I cant stand the police and he better leave me go (Serial rapist in the area, and they were stopping everybody matching the description). They laughed.

    But yeah, I'll be going back to the US soon, and quite scared of the police after seeing those kinds of things.

    I would never disrespect a cop, probably even if they deserve it. You may think you are standing your ground, but shit, they can kick ur ass or just keep adding to the charges. I seen it!

    I dont have much respect for the cops in my county because they are the 2nd highest paid Cops in the United States. They do nothing and have to worry about no crime compared to NYPD.
