'Where are you at?' officer allegedly asked as suspect lay under squad car

The police department in Pensacola, Florida, has suspended an officer who allegedly attempted to Taser a suspect from inside his squad car before running the man over, resulting in the suspect's death, news reports say.

"Administrative leave" is different than suspension, btw.

Wow, it's like cops are trying to get tasers banned from police use.

"Witnesses said the biker was under the car for several hours."

W_T_F ?

Holy shit. That's about all I can come up with on this one. It's like he squished the dude, then just parked his car and went off to eat donuts somewhere, without calling it in.

[techs]

Where did this happen?


Oh, I see, in Floriduh!

In this case it sounds like the taser actually worked, I think the dude's death had something to do with being run over by a police cruiser and left there to die/rot.

The witness called it a laser.

I don't think the intended use is to shoot someone riding a bicycle... especially while in a moving vehicle yourself. No texting or tasering while driving.

Excuse me sir, but you seem to have a dead body underneight your car.

lol true, I just meant that the cause of death was more the cruiser rather than the taser (probably). Tasering while driving is incredibly idiotic though. The cop was probably too fat to get off and chase the guy on foot.

I'm quite sure this is not trained/approved use, the tool is not to blame here.

Well, blame the right tool .. this cop was obviously a major tool :laugh:

 

[eits]

it'd be funnier if he said "don't taze me" before he got hit

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

I suspect this officer will be harshly dealt with, up to and including enduring laughter.

Not two seconds later, the cop car just ran over him,? Boler said. ?The cop ran up on the curb and hopped out of the car and said, ?Where are you at?? The guy was still underneath his car. You can still see his red shoe sticking out.?

Yeah, I don't think they could even make that up in a Lethal Weapon or a Die Hard movie.

lol. this comment fucking rocks! (FOX article)

These devises work, I can personally attest to that ! I have a bit of a substance abuse problem and have been Tasered several times. Tasers hurt ! As far as this sitiuation is concerned, the author make it sound like it was premeditated murder. I doubt he facts will bear that out. We will see when the investigation is completed.
