I am also disturbed by the guy being tased after he was on the ground. The fact that he offered to surrender and was mistreated—yes, that is shameful. He could have been seriously injured for no reason.

I was faced with a similar situation once. Someone had appropriated my vehicle after being allowed to use it. The police would not help, saying that it was a private matter and that no law had been broken. Florida law might be different, but even so, such a drastic response was inappropriate.

It seems a bit Wild West down there. Just need John Wayne and Gary Cooper to come up against Clint and Lee!

@Geoffrey51 It’s not all that Wild West. The police do go too far sometimes, but the news media, ever eager for some shocking story will play up those events. For every bad interaction with the police there might be hundreds of good and reasonable interactions that you never hear about.

@WilliamFleming This is true. The media love a sensation, it’s what gets advertising dollars at the expense of real news!
