Man Tasered by Police for Trying to Prevent His House from Burning Down
November 15th, 2012Via: WSTP:
Daniel Jensen wasn’t running from the law, he was trying to protect his home from burning up. Yet, Pinellas Park Police tasered him in the process. Jensen and his attorney say it’s an excessive use of force.
Jensen was still shaken and visibly emotional as he retold what happened last Thursday evening. He said being tasered by police has not only impacted him, but it also impacted his children, who saw it all happen.
He described the Pinellas Park Police officers actions as “brutal.” He said they showed “no compassion.”
Just a humble suggestion: this should definitely tagged w/”Florida”. Florida cops are some of the nastiest, inferiority-complex-overcompensating assholes on the planet.
Hmm, I thought I checked the Florida box on this one.
