you can ride with the violation, and say the officer was protecting himself, and the kids shouldnt of done it... but i know for a fact, of the perversion of power in the ranks... that's why i know there was absolutely no real honest reason to taze the kid, ya, they might be able to reason it, but does that make it right?

I know a female officer than can restrain a grown man by herself... ONE woman
But in this case the police were doing their job and did not carry it to far giving many chance to Meyer to just submit. Trying to lump all police officers as corrupt authority because of bad past experiences is no different from white people who hate black people(and lump them all together) because of bad past experiences.

I don't want to you these officers lose their jobs. If you have a problem high don't lay it out on the officers but instead the procedures they are taught.
