Police Taser-Stun Man 11 Times in Front of His Wife and Children.

a reply to: carewemust

Cameras are the citizens best friend when dealing with police, but there have been cases of those recordings going missing. I have my own dash camera in my car that automatically comes on for driving and a audio recorder on my keychain that looks like a flash drive to turn on just in case I get pulled over.

Gotta love the official police statement...

Mr.
Wheatcroft
immediately began to physically resist the officers’ attempts to escort him from the vehicle while continuing to place his hands where officers could not see them. Officers displayed their Tasers and warned him of potential Taser use to gain his
compliance; however, Mr. Wheatcroft continued to argue, yell and physically resist the officers’ control holds. Due to the physical resistance from Mr. Wheatcroft, the Taser was used in a drive stun capacity in order to gain control and avoid physical injury.

Those barbarians need to be dealt with, I hope this doesn't get swept under the rug, again...

I guess when they issued this statement, they must have thought no one would ever see the body camera footage. That's the only thing that explains this stupid statement from them. Otherwise, if they REALLY think people are going to watch the footage and then read their version of events and believe it, we've got some truly serious intellect issues at that department.

It’s crap like this that gives ALL cops a bad name. That video was disgusting to watch, and cops really need to understand why the hate against them is constantly growing. Keep your fellow officers in line ffs !!!

Then they wonder why innocent cops get murdered ? Maybe because cops like in this video get away with far too much.
This cop needs to lose his job, AND be tasered in the nuts a few times for good measure !!! Ugh .. just ugh.. so po’d right now..😡

I think some officers forget that they are wearing cameras? That police statement omitted a lot...like no one would ever know what happened. It would be the criminal's word, against the cops.

They're not too bright when it comes to body cams.. We've all seen that one cop plant drugs to charge a guy with possession. You think they'd know about the cameras recording 30 seconds of video prior.

But you are spot on, and for many years it was the upstanding honest officer sworn to protect and serve, against the punk thug who was obviously up to no good...

I also noted another article that stated the department is standing by these officers.. You would think that, just possibly, they'd want to uphold justice a little more, instead of always rallying around like a parade of batfinks with their wings of blue steel, and see what we see. Not how the officers feel.

Such is life..

A 30-hour suspension for tasing a mans bare balls in front of his wife and children...
The officer needs retraining and anger management.
Sure he might have had a bad call earlier or something, but they shouldn't take their anger out on someone the way they did.

One officer was supposedly knocked unconscious by the wife?
Odd, it didn't seem that way from the body cam footage.

Too bad the guy is white... this won't get the attention it deserves.

This is a ridiculous post. The officer does not need training or anger management. He needs to be fired.

You cannot train that sh$t out of an officer. He didn't taze the guy's bare balls and taint because of poor training. And for that matter, the one holding a gun to the guy's head needs to be fired as well.

Training won't make those cops not do that crap. These are the kinds of men who should never, never have lawful authority over others. They should be fired.

Oh, of course, the obvious solution would be to fire the POS.
But they clearly don't have that in mind - hence the mear 30 hour suspension.

If they really feel this idiot should be on the force, they will find every reason NOT to fire him - as in this case.
So the next best thing - if they have no intention of a real course of action, would be to retrain the fool.

But yes, I agree he should have been fire.
Considering that's not on the menu, whats the next best thing?

Never trust a US cop! At least 50% or more are nothing more than school yard bullies and many are simply sick sadists. They are to be avoided like the plague.

a reply to: KansasGirl

The cop is a psychopath, or sociopath..you cannot fix that with any amount of training, maybe a desk job if they just can't bear to part with him
He indeed should be fired..out of a cannon

Don't get on the wrong side of a cop. They constantly deal with liars, lowlifes, and scumbags. The worst monkeys of all of us monkeys. So when they get to you, they are already predisposed to coming down as hard as possible on you, more for their own protection than anything.

I'm not saying they're right. But that's the situation. Volunteer for some ride-alongs to see the crap they have to deal with every day. Then stay out of their way.

Irony right there!! when you get off on tasering testicles and taint..you have become exactly that.

Is there actual video of it?

They certainly don’t seem to be dealing with these in the top rungs of society, such as criminal politicians, celebrities, etc. Doubt we’d see Alec Baldwin get tasered if he got stopped with drugs, and he would probably get much mouthier with them. There is no excuse for how they handled this for a small amount of meth.

I agree that there is nothing good about antagonizing a cop, and they get stressed out... but so do teachers. They deal with smartass disobedient kids all the time, and if they get physical , there is usually hell to pay.

Yeah, but supposedly most kids aren't armed, either.

The guy does not need ID...this is not Nazi Germany...well at least I do not think so...

Was this man armed ?

And is this what drives a cop to behave this way ? Fear for his life ? Honestly, it’s behaviour like this that puts their lives and those of their fellow officers in danger. People don’t get over stuff like this easily and it causes deep hatred towards all cops which isn’t fair, but understandable for some. That little boy will never look at cops with a feeling of being protected and who knows what will happen in the future.

If cops are so worried about protecting their own lives and think tasering someone repeatedly ( in very sensitive areas) is ok.. they are obviously not cut out for that job and need to quit or be removed.

If this happened to your son, how would you feel ?

Could he have been?

They're not supermen. They're people, just like you and me. So, yes. And that's a good thing to keep in mind.

The first thing I would wonder is what my kid was doing to even be in a position to cross paths with a cop. "Oh, my gosh, a lion bit my kid!" "What the hell were you doing around a lion?"

I’m well aware they aren’t supermen, and they are regular people. But they’ve been trained to deal in a much more humane way ( I would hope). Taxering people in their private areas multiple times for failing to have ID or even possession of narcotics is very cruel punishment.

OMG ! I can’t believe you said that.🙄 You must be a cop who’s kids get that special treatment when caught with a small amount of drugs. Anybody ( especially a cop ) who condones this type of behaviour is a mentally sick puppy in my eyes.
