This is what really bothers me about cases like this. Most cops don't do sh*t like this. But when one does, many people start to make sweeping generalizations.
I'll tell ya another thing most cops won't do. That is turn their back on someone that they're about to arrest, for so long as this idiot did. Judging by his angry reaction and over-assertion of force, he must have deemed Massey as a threat, right? So whats up with turning his back on a suspect he's about to arrest at taser point?
This is yet another egregious procedural violation seen here. As an officer, you never turn your back. EVER! I've watched my bro pull over countless dozens of people. And never will he turn his back. He walks back to his car sideways, almost backward, always watching the driver and occupants. Making sure they don't get out and pull a gun or start reaching for sh*t in their car.
I think this mistake was a Freudian slip of sorts. Indicating that he really didn't see Massey as a threat. Rather, as he walked back to his car about to draw his taser thinking "I'll show this as*hole who's calling the shots here".
This is bad policing. Just awful in so many ways. Yet we're expected to blame this guy for acting shocked when he's drawn down on at gunpoint?
