Youtube - NSFW Language

The woman pulls her gun and says taser taser taser. Then says oh shite, I shot him. It's so similar to the Dante Wright situation it's unbelievable.

For those of you who haven't seen the video, watch the whole thing. It's textbook in all things wrong with people when being pulled over.

The guy could have gotten a seatbelt ticket and been on his way but no.

My dad always told me if I ever got in trouble with the law, to just go along with it and have my day in court and fight it then.
People these days have no respect to for law enforcement.

Hey old friend! what was the disposition in this case? charges or what? I also agree that it could have been avoided and that is true in many of these scenarios, but it is really a separate issue., although we cant view them both in a vacuum separately. Police are woefully undertrained and unqualified. It is not their fault it's a fact.

eta I have not watched the video.

Maybe, just maybe, if he wasn't resisting.

There are plenty of "confused taser with gun" cases out there. The one from the NYC subway was videoed and viral a couple of years ago.

Taser never should have shaped the weapon like a gun and I can't fathom why it has a trigger. Put a button or switch to activate it. It's electric, it doesn't need a trigger.

Only difference I see is the cop in this video was a rookie and the one up in Minny had been on the job for 20-30 yrs.

He asked for a supervisor once he couldn’t get his way. Would that make him a Karen?

Did the guy make it to work? Just wondering, since his main complaint after being pulled over was that he'd be late for work.

Chris Rock's "How Not To Get Your arse Kicked By The Police" and Chappelle's "When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong" both come to mind when I watch that video.

Dumbass did not need to be shot, but he escalated the situation.

To be fair. This one shouldn’t have pulled a taser in the first place. She should have shot his arse initially.

I believe statistics show this happens more with female officers but I may be wrong.


I also don’t believe it’s a training issue. Police in general are trained well, the problem is the panic and reaction which you can’t train for.

I’ve said it 1000 times but unfortunately with police, like the military, you don’t know who is going to shite the bed in an intense situation and who will do their job until it’s too late.

Police stopped 35-year-old Akira Lewis for a suspected seatbelt violation. Lewis was uncooperative, profane, threatening throughout the several minutes the officer talked to him. He refused to give his name and any form of identification. The officer repeatedly pleaded with Lewis to cooperate or face arrest. After another officer arrived the original officer attempted to arrest Lewis but the man slammed the officer into the pavement and began hitting him. The second officer pulled her gun out, yelled Taser three time but pulled the trigger of her service weapon striking the man in the back. The officer resigned and was charged with aggravated battery. Lewis was charged with several counts including resisting and assault on an officer.


Yeah, he would have just been on his way if he would have given his fricking name for the ticket.

As I argued with Wannabebadass808 yesterday, traffic stops have a multitude of benefits and relatively a very small number of bad outcomes. These are, of course, amplified by the media and dumbasses like yourself. One benefit is that it keeps the roads relatively safe because nobody wants to be pulled over. The more important benefit is that they lead to numerous crimes getting solved in a multitude of ways. Valuable information as to who is driving what (for instance vehicle used in an armed robbery), evidence, wanted persons, missing persons, dead persons, drugs, stolen property, stolen guns, stolen vehicles have all been be found on "routine" traffic stops. I'm glad cops find thugs and criminals during these stops and take action.

It's TL;DW but Sam is dead on with his take on this one.
