The cop Tasered him for not pulling over? Granted, not pulling over IS illegal, but I think there are better ways to enforce compliance than Tasering the guy. Especially since the bike he was on was obviously not capable of outrunning the patrol car.
I’m sure there were some “extenuating” circumstances here, Mike. Otherwise, it’s pretty tough to explain the $12,000 bail for simply not pulling over. Usually, it’s a ticket and no arrest/jail.
But, with the increasing popularity of these little bikes, I’m more concerned with the potential for gangs ravaging neighborhood bars, using women for profit and pleasure and increasing the drug traffic. (Sounds like my old softball team!)
What’s with tasering the driver? Cops seem to be getting out of hand with these things. Watched “Cops” lately, they taser everybody, resisting or not. Seems like since it supposedly can’t kill, it’s a way for them to get their jollies while arresting someone ….
The bike wasn’t going more than 10mph. Gosh, my grandmother in a walker could have caught up to him and knocked him off the bike. That cop could have seriously hurt the guy tasering him and causing him to fall off the bike. And it all started because the guy wiped out on the bike. I hope these cops aren’t around if I ever wipe off my bike.
All these public servants are getting lazy assed. I’ve got a mailman that can’t leave his vehicle if the package is too big to fit in the mai box. Now the cops can’t wrestle some mini bike rider to the ground, it’s easier to spit ball him with a taser gun. The guy should have shot back with his paint ball gun and given the police dept new colors.
I cant get the mind image out of my head .. 42 yo man. on a mini crotch rocket .. he had to look like a ringling brothers clown with his knees sticking straight sideways. All that was missing was the water ski shoes that have the hole in the soles and the big floppy hat. I imagine he already had the bright red nose after drinking all day long.
