Oops - just checked and it was a settlement for $40k.

 

i'll take a cop being a douche and being tazed anyday for 40 grand... hell i get that crap anyways because i am a young guy in what he thinks is a ferrari

 

"Gardner was placed on paid administrative leave in November of last year for his protection, not misconduct. "For his own safety, with some of the threats we were receiving on the Internet and also the phone calls we were receiving here at headquarters," Nigbur explained.

After investigating those threats, UHP officials decided it was safe for Gardner to return to work"

I don't think this officer ever got fired. I tried searching for what happened, but this is all I came up with about the officer. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. This guy got paid time off.

 

I know how ya feel.

I thought it was funny, just for funny's sake. But the cop was a dick. But the guy was kinda being a retard too. No excuse for the cop to do that, it isn't like the cop was threatened...

 

I don't see any problem with the cop's actions. The driver was being belligerent. All he had to do was sign the ticket. If he didn't think he was guilty, he should've taken it up with the courts, not with the cop. If he didn't want to get tazed, he should've stopped walking away when the cop told him to stop walking away and pulled out the tazer. The guy thought he was Billy Badass, and the cop proved him wrong.

 

Probably spending too much time on Interweb forums. Where everyone is invincible AND good looking. Welcome to reality, this isn't junior high.

 

Wait... what are you saying? Do you mean the rest of you guys aren't invincible or good looking?

 

don't listen to that guy, i am both handsome and invinsible... or at least me mommy says so

 

I think the guy was being stupid, how else can a cop stop you from walking away and getting into your car and driving away. The intent looked as if he was walking away to get into the car and drive away. I don't think the cop pulled the tazer on him until he started to walk away in which he could be going to get a weapon or something. If that celebrity woman whoever could take a few hits from a tazer this guy can at least take one and not cry come on.

I think the cop should of explained why he got the ticket although the volume was muffled a lot but at the same time I don't really think it was wrong what he did. He could of beat him with a stick, he only shot him ONCE not multiple times so I don't really think its an excessive amount of power whoever thinks otherwise stop being a pussy its one shot

 

Just watched it again... can someone dub "DON'T TAZE ME BRO!" over that whole part???
