        Just a reminder to the entitled people tweeting from their smartphones at home and who have never experienced any actual violence in their lives: Unarmed does NOT mean not dangerous.

        If you don't comply w/a police order you are concerned combative, since you obviously you are. Police protect us ALL! They're not trained to read minds NOR have a crystal ball holster! Ppl say they want safe communities, then do your part too

        Look at the video. It’s clear the police failed to give concise direction. They told him ton straighten out his legs but then the female cops tells him to cross them. What they should of done is say “cross your ankles”. They didn’t though and he paid the price.

        Some guy on the street took this video honestly what are we really seeing? That's the same way police feel ALL day with an enormous responsibility attached. He did not comply, it's fortunate had no ill intensions, this isn't news it's a job journal

        We’re seeing a guy who complying that got tazed. If he was going to do something he would of done it standing up, not after he sat down. You got two officers giving conflicting guidance and he paid the price.

        And the other cop told him to cross his legs. So you have one cop telling you to straighten your legs and one cop who tells you to cross them. He straightens his legs. He goes to cross them and zap. Maybe the cops should give clear orders?

        Which is confusing. You can't do both. Let alone the history between cops and black people. Poor guy was probably scared to death.

        Not everyone can. Not that it justifies them shooting a guy who's trying to cooperate.

        Yes, we do, if you don’t resist police you don’t get tased, that’s fucking easy... you don’t need to have a gun to get tased, if he had a gun he would have been shot dip-ass
