Officer Sued For Unnecessary Taser Use, Lying On Police Report
REVIEW OF VIDEO:
The victim parks on the sidewalk and goes into a store across the street. A cop pulls up because he sees a car parked on the sidewalk and he walks over to the car and opens the door and starts looking in it and the victim walks out of the store asking the cop why he is in his car. Cop is like you can't park on the sidewalk and the guy is why did you open my car door. Cop is like give me some ID your gonna get a ticket for parking on the sidewalk. The victim is saying that his car is private property and you can't just open my door and go look thru my car.
Then the cop pulls out his taser and points it at the guy telling him he is under arrest and to put his hands behind his back so he can handcuff him. The guys does not comply so the cop tasers him and another cop handcuffs him. The victim asks what he is being arrested for and the cop says for resisting arrest.

SUMMARY:
I have no problem with a cop giving someone a ticket for parking on the sidewalk. You do not need someones ID to write a parking ticket. Cops give parking tickets all the time without ID. Cops do not sit there for hours waiting for the guy who parked illegally to show and then ask for his ID to give him a ticket. They do not need ID to write a parking ticket.
I think this cop got upset because the guy told him that it was wrong for him to open his car door and look inside his car and the victim is right about that. Free people do have a right to privacy.
Arresting him for resisting arrest makes no sense. If your arresting someone the crime can't be I am arresting you for resisting arrest. There has to be a crime first before you can arrest someone.
No one has the right to assault and kidnap you. Free people have the right to carry weapons to defend themselves and there property. Free people never have an obligation to let anyone commit aggression against them. No one has the right to harm you, steal from you, threaten you, or violate your rights.
A nation of sheep will end up with a government of wolves.

IN CLOSING:
A society built on freedom is based on the rights that all free people have. Free people can do whatever they want within there rights as long as they do not harm, steal, threaten, or violate the rights of others.
1 - Free people are all created equal and have certain individual rights which are the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Individual rights cannot be taken away from free people. Free people can do as they please within there rights, as long as they do not harm, steal, threaten, or violate the rights of others.
2 - Free people have the right to self-ownership. Self-ownership means not only that you own yourself, but everyone owns themselves. The best way to ensure respect for our self-ownership is to respect the rights of others. Without self-ownership, there is no freedom.
3 - Free people own themselves. No one can claim even partial ownership over a free person without violating there rights. Taxing free people without there consent is theft and a violation of there rights. Free people get to decide for themselves how there money is spent.
4 - All interactions between free people should be voluntary and free of force, fraud, and threats.
5 - Free people have the right to carry weapons to defend themselves and there property. Free people never have an obligation to let anyone commit aggression against them. No one has the right to harm you, steal from you, threaten you, or violate your rights.
6 - Free people have the right to seek leaders for themselves but have no right to force rulers on others. No matter how leaders are selected they are only human beings and they have no rights or claims that are higher then those of any other human. No one has the right to murder, enslave, or to steal. Free people can not give people any rights that they do not have themselves.
7 - To help secure free people's individual rights, governments may be created, deriving their powers from the consent of the governed. Whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of free people to alter it, abolish it, or withdraw there consent to be governed.
