This is a bit OLD.... MARCH 2010...

I'd be interested in the other half of the story. You can't see much on the video.

Edited: Didn't see the date. How did this turn out?

Does it matter?

Doesn't matter how old. I didn't see the guy fighting the officers at all. If they were so concerned why did the one officer just watch through the glass?

We can barely see what is happening and have no audio. Simply not enough information to judge.

Thank you nice to have some voice of reason around here.

Don't get me wrong, I'd like to think the veteran was in the right, but a short little news clip interspersed with grainy, barely discernible video clips doesn't cut it for me. The news story did not explain at all the officers' side of things. Obviously something had to have happened for it to escalate to that point. Granted the doofus officer standing there making fun of the guy getting tazed is unprofessional to say the least, but beyond that, you can't see or hear anything of substance. If there are more videos or news stories on this I'd be interested to see how this turned out.

Having been a police officer I saw things in body language that was VERY concerning even without audio. Remember, this is the same PD that gunned-down a guy outside of a Sam's Club, (or Costco), not too long ago who was legally carrying concealed. I believe that dude was also former or current Army too.

I could barely make out human shapes in that video (during the physical altercations). Not sure how you read body language, but kudos to you. I'll still reserve my judgements and not rely on gut feelings. Prior events are irrelevant. Facts are key. At least I'd like to think so.

We definitely need more info. Can't second guess an officer without seeing and especially hearing what he heard. Him being a veteran has nothing to do with what is being reported.

The shooting before has no bearing on this unless the same officers are involved in both. If that was the case the media would be all over that fact.

I’m a former cop; (and proud of it) tell me what I missed in the body language. I can’t make out anything.

I was in service (proud of that also) and have two Honorable Discharges; how many free passes do I get on dumb azz stuff?

Oh wait…. I don’t get any and I don’t start chit with cops.

Its older than that, this happened in 2007.
