i wonder what happend to the next door neighbor?
I'm with Jeff White. Get the facts first. My state requires the responding officer to arrest the "principal Aggressor" on every DV call.
Daly's incident report does not mention any signs of physical resistance or aggressive behavior.
DING DING DING DING DING.OK, then 99.9% of people on this forum cannot comment on 99.9% of the topics posted here, since 99.9% of the time our members were not at the scene in question.
On this forum, I agree with that statement. On other forums (read "Cop Talk" on GlockTalk, there is the tendency to take the cop's side in every hypothetical.What you'll find is that most of the time you have the cops going "Well, we really don't know...it could have happened like this, but could have happened like that"
Depending on how they do things and the particulars of the situation, the presence or absence of this information on the immediately-available public document is meaningless. There would certainly be some documentation of the reason for using the taser, but that would not necessarily be on the "incident report." We, for instance, would put it on our use of force paperwork. Such things are available to the prosecution and defense, and to the media with a FOIA inquiry, but not given to reporters at simple request as a matter of course, as it contains personal information about the suspect.Daly's incident report does not mention any signs of physical resistance or aggressive behavior.
I get the idea that Cop Talk is more like "Cops Behaving Badly." I've never been over there, nor do I intend to go. I think its natural for any group (cop, gun-owner, etc) to assume the best of the actions of their comrades when in conversation with them and amongst "your own kind." Of course, I'm sure there are a fair number of the (statistically rare, at least in my RL experience) JBT types there, too. They thrive in the echo chambers. That goes for the fist-shaking cop haters, too.On this forum, I agree with that statement.

I'd love to meet the clown that offered the above... I sincerely hope he's not a sworn officer.When the situation is under control, (weapons holstered, etc.) then you can ask questions, speak to supervisors, file complaints, whatever. Until then, you simply obey commands.
If a deputy says to you "Until I can figure out what is going on, you need to turn around now, or you're going to get Tasered," then you need to comply.
As for me, when I'm called to a disturbance, the first order of business is to establish control of the scene. "But it's my house", "Yes, but while I'm here I'm in control....period. Someone called me here and I have a right to be here until I determine that no crime is being committed and no one is being hurt or abused."

"slight potential for physical harm",
He can and chances are favorable, he would win...cept the taxpayers would end up paying for it one way or another.I hope this marine sues the crap out of this police dept.
