What was this sergeant thinking? FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. -- Investigators are looking into what led to the use of a Taser gun on a Detroit police officer following a traffic stop. http://www.clickondetroit.com/ news/10541205/detail.html |

I guess we'll have to go to war with Farmington Hills after all. Lowell, if you don't want to become a prisoner of war, you should move back near the Ruins as soon as possible. Think of it as a healthy dose of street cred boost. This guy wasn't part of your personal protection unit, was he?! |

Maybe he didn't feel man enough without his Glock. Who does THAT sound like?! |

"Sources who have seen the video tape of the incident said Marshall was schocked with a Taser gun after he refused to put his gun in the car at the request of the officer." Apparently, a German Taser (notice the capitalization) was used on him. But again, the Klutz at that TV station more likely is a DY poster in another life. |

That'll teach those in the DPD to live outside the city. Live in Detroit, or face the possibility of being tasered! Can you imagine if Christine Beatty had been in the suburbs when she was pulled over a few years back? "Do you know who the f...ZAAAAAP!" LMAO |

from wikipedia Schadenfreude is a German word meaning "pleasure taken from someone else's misfortune." |

We live in an adolescent society. Perhaps the standards for the hiring of city police officers should be raised. |

I would suggest tasering L.Brooks, but I've heard that mixing electricity with that much alcohol is extremely flamable. |

Farmington cops live a boring life defined by traffic tickets. Having an off duty officer refuse to disarm was probably the most exciting thing that ever happened in this guys career. |

Can't help but to wonder if the outcome would have been different if the guy had been wearing a uniform other than DPD... |

I guess this cop will have a hard time with the standard argument of how the "suspect was a threatening criminal". |
