Yeah they could've. It's happened many times in the past. They only need to say that they suspect faul play and they can dor what ever they want. Arrested yes, but they would have to drop the charges if they can't find any evidence. While in custody the images and video can conviniently disappear.
Photography is not a crime!

You're missing the point. We are not being shown the entire situation. Did he have a weapon? Did he assault someone? We are being show a "clip". What is the reason behind the police involvement?

If I was dispatched to a call involving a weapon, or assault, I would not ask questions. You have an obligation to protect the public, and a right to protect yourself. Police officers take the oath to protect the public, before themselves.

Regardless of whether or not the man being tasered is a criminal, the police have a responsibility not to over-use force, especially tasers. As these have been known to be fatal in rare circumstances, and therefore are meant for extreme situations only in place of using a gun. When you have 4 cops and one man on the floor they can easily restrain him without using the taser three times. And remember it was three times they tasered him! Once we can forgive and say the police panicked and so tasered him, but 3 times is ridiculous.

and what about the poor 47 year old at the g20 summit 2 months ago who was nothing to do with the trouble (that the police caused) his only crime was closing his newspaper stall nearby and started walking home, his path took him across police officers in riot gear but not to close, one of the gung-ho officers ran up to him, broke ranks and had to run a good 10 feet to intercept him for no reason at all and hit him on the head with a baton, then a few minutes later the guy suffered a heart attack i think, and surprise surprise he died! was that justifiable force? do you think he might have had a grenade/knife/gun? dont make me laugh, its all sh*t! you hear me? that was totally uncalled for! then his seargent got fired a few days later as he went on face book and wrote "oh well, looks like on of my lot have gone and killed someone again!" go you police sympathizers, i dare you to tell me thats justified!!


Witch hunt anyone? I thought the point of this site was to "deny ignorance"? Your taking one case, one, and assuming that ALL cops are brutal. Well lets look at some of the incidents in the past.

English and German soccer fans clashed today after Germany's second-round victory over Sweden. Thousands of drunk English and German fans had gathered in the city's Schlossplatz to watch the game. After Germany's 2-0 second-round victory, trouble broke out and both sets of fans traded punches before dozens of nervous-looking riot police moved into the area. German and English fans were separated into spearate corners as tables, chairs and bottles were thrown back and forth.


Well I guess then, all soccer (football) fans are brutal.

Bolivian Congress Breaks Into Massive Fist Fight A fistfight broke out Wednesday in Bolivia's Congress. Lawmakers came to blows as a long-simmering fight for control of the country's judicial branch boiled over. (Aug. 22)


Well I guess then, all congressmen are brutal.

It was 1979 and a beautiful afternoon for a race in Daytona, FL. Thousands of spectators showed up for one of the most spectacular events of the year. This was the first race where CBS broadcast a race from start to finish and the drivers, crew, and fans were pumped full of adrenaline. (Those days people would only get to see bits and pieces of the race on TV) The race was thrilling with position changes going on everywhere… a huge battle was going on for first place between Cale Yarborough and Donnie Allison with record speeds. Richard Petty was in third and at least a half a lap behind the battle for first. Who won? Well take a look below to see what happened on the very last lap!

Well I guess then, all nascar drivers are brutal.



Just my opinion, but I find it funny. You have these people that say "F the police". Then something happens...and they cry, "POLICE"!

Something very similar happened to me concerning the police. A year or so ago I happened to be awoken by the sound of the house behind mine being broken in to. I phoned the police then went outside into the alley to confront the thieves but they had gone. I wandered four roads down looking for them, then on my way back home the police turned up, arrested me and threw me in the back of their car. It was a full twenty minutes before they were satisfied that it was me that had called them in the first place. And then, just to add insult to injury, they asked me which way I thought they had gone,, and when I told them they drove off in the opposite direction!
I share your pain, I wouldn't bother asking for help from the police either.
