Police Out Of Order, Or Not? I Think The Female

[trt]

officer was a bit to quick to fire the taser, and didn't give proper warnings, as instructed in training.

I was just reading this on our local news site. I agree she was too quick, although Mr Adunbi could have reponded in a more reasonable way initially.

Well, she didn't give the warning but the situation could have been avoided. He failed to give his name when asked and swore at the officers and walking off to his gate.

Why could he not have complied with a simple instruction? Not giving his name aroused further suspicion though the officer should have given the requisite warning.

Overeaction on the part of the policewoman.

The lady cop did shoot a bit too soon. I am not sure that a taser was needed in the circumstances.

I would have thought that the lady dog would have done something to protect the guy.

I suspect this might be a “tip of the iceberg” thing.....people in the area suspicious of police, police nervous of being in that area. Silly girl panicked and hey presto we have an incident.

[Gladeian]

If he had co-operated with the officers he wouldnt have been tasered.

[Bazile]

Definitely a bit too trigger happy there

[-Talbot-]

What a pair of plonkers. Totally out of order.

Foolish man ignored police demands, serves him right,

[Quoi]

I would never make a policeman.. my tether was ended waaaaaay before she fired the taser.

[woofgang]

police demands????

"Founder of race relations"

Possibly accounts for his arrogance. He appears to hold the officers in contempt.

[SnookerPlayer]

OK, police requests

The verbal and body language of the female officer is clear - she panicked, failed to threaten with the taser or give a warning, and tasered the man without due cause.

If two officers can's subdue an elderly man, they are in the wrong job.

I think the female officer will have some tall questions to answer - as she should.

[SnookerPlayer]

He was subdued, quite effectively too.

[youngmafbog]

He is 66, not elderly.

I agree Andy, and she looked nervous/scared, even when the bloke was laid out on the ground.

Wolf: not all dogs attack people, even if their owner is in trouble.

[andy-hughes]

I think everything about the wsoman officer said that she was out of her depth, and she panicked.

She was panciking again when the guy who was filming the incident came within about ten feet of her, although her ability to taser him was somewhat limited, given that the prongs of her taser were stuck in the face of an old man on the floor!

[Bazile]

What a sad state of affairs nowadays , when you can't even taser a bloke , without it been captured on someones blooming mobile .

Old man ??


He looks fit and healthy, although his choice of hairstyle is somewhat questionable.

Watched the vid a few times, he brought it on himself, far too cocky.
