Abusive cop tasers man because he didnt sign a ticket

That's the headline that was given for the video. The State gave the guy $40,000 for this incident.

Question. Do normal people just sign the ticket and THEN challenge it in court or give the cops a hard time?

Is it normal to say no I am not going to sign, I am going to go back and see the sign?

After seeing this strange behavior is the cop rational to question the guys actions or even what the guy will do next.

If this is so is it unreasonable for the police to taser someone who has to this point been uncooperable and refused to do as told?

So......Is this abuse or not? What is the truth about this incident?



How about this one? Is this abuse?

Question.... If the cop warned the kid before this incident, which the kid admitted to... Doesn't that mean the cop could do write him a citation? So isn't taking the board (although, I don't know if he can or not, would be interesting to find out how this went, but still...) isn't taking the board giving him a break?

Would the parents serve the kid better by telling the kid that he should have not skated. Is this an opportunity for the kid to learn a lesson of following rules or is it the chance to learn rebellion is correct behavior and obeying laws isn't.



I don't know, I am asking. What do you think about this one. Is the cop abusive or is the kid out of line. Should the parent take up for the kid or stand behind the officer? What truly is the appropriate behavior of the people involved in these incidents from a big picture view. Looking at it not JUST from one point of view but also from the point of view of the officer. (Which most people REFUSE to do but you are smarter than that)
That's why I want your honest opinion.
