Brickbat: Shocking Behavior

Naugatuck, Connecticut, police officer Nicholas Kehoss has been charged with third-degree assault for cruelty against a person after he fired his Taser three times at a man suspected of stealing $200 worth of beer, including after the man appeared to stop resisting arrest. Kehoss and another officer found Jarrell Day with several cases of beer in the back seat of his car. When the other officer tried to open the car door, Day drove off, and the officers pursued. After crashing into a pole, Day got out of his car and ran. When Kehoss caught up, bodycam video showed he fired his Taser, knocking Day down. Day rolled to his stomach and pleaded for Kehoss to stop, but Kehoss fired his Taser again, saying "you're getting another ride." According to ABC News, Kehoss has been disciplined several times during his 13 years with the department, most recently for using a "boxing-in maneuver" during a traffic stop that is not allowed by the department. Day was charged with robbery, larceny, interfering with an officer and resisting, reckless driving, and disobeying the signal of an officer.

On one hand, the cop should have stopped after he surrendered. On the other hand, after seeing all the videos of people stealing with no punishment I have a hard time caring.

[Sometimes a Great Notion]

Yup.

Same here, Watching a would be thief getting a beat down by two 7-11 store workers in Stockton , remember that one? Made my day.

If this goes to a jury, we'll see how they react.

[Nazi-Chipping Warlock]

This.

Fuck police brutality, but fuck this guy too.

Fuckstain shouldn't have stolen, fuckstain shouldn't have tried to drive off.

Fuck the fuckstain. Zap the sumbitch.

I demand my tax-funded sadists remain dispassionate.

[Chumby]

Don’t tase me, bro.

[Don't look at me!]

He just wanted a tase of the action.

[Vernon Depner]

There's nothing here about the skin colors of the officer and the suspect. How are we supposed to know how to react?

[A Cynical Asshole]

Just break out your Jump to Conclusions mat anyway and have at it.

[AT]

White cop, black perp.

*puts on balaclava*

Time to go get a new flatscreen. For justice.

Liberal states, liberal laws and liberal consequences= out of control crime.

Yeah, if you’re trying to portray the guy as some kind of roving sociopath, probably step up from the “crime” of double parking in front of a suspect's car. Assuming that the 12 other complaints aren’t “He stubbed my toe.” and “He fastened my seatbelt with the chest strap under the arms rather than over the chest.” of course.

#ACAB means when you start trying to enforce petty rules against others that you wouldn’t enforce against yourself or your own people, you’re the bastard.

>>Jarrell Day

this is my brother Jarrell and this is my other brother Jarrell.

'...After a full investigation, the officer has been cleared of all charges; furthermore, the officer now understands if he hadn't used the phrase '....you're going for another ride...' he could have tased the SOB three times instead of two.

[Vernon Depner]

He forgot to yell, "STOP RESISTING!"
