Opinions on Taser use
This one may be controversial, I'd like to hear some opinions. This incident occured at a local hospital.
About a week ago, two nurses, who had just finished their shifts, were standing in the parking lot chatting. Two males approached them, yelling at the nurses as they moved closer. The nurses were spooked enough to run back into the hospital, with the male subjects chasing behind. To shorten the story the nurses got away and reported it to hospital security, who did manage to get the incident on video, but were unable to locate the two males...
The next day, one of the security guards sees someone who he believes is one of the males from the day before. He approaches the guy in order to find out who he is. The guy runs and the security guard gives chase....
The security guard radios that he is chasing a male across the hospital parking lot. The radio call is heard by another guard who is on a bike. As the guard on the bike catches up to the (still running) subject, the guy reaches into his jacket pocket, pulls out something, and begins to turn....
The guard, fearing for his safety, pulls out his taser and drops the guy.....Turns out the object in question was a cell phone
The cops show up and I.D. the subject.....The guy is wanted for Robbery and Burglary..........and has a couple grand worth of cocaine (in baggies) in his pockets. Off to jail he goes...
Now the rumor is that the cops are considering charging the guard with assault

I bet the guy with the cocaine was a sleazy police informant. 0 -

BTW: To the best of my knowledge the guard was never charged.0
