Arizona Cops Caught Tasering Mentally Ill Man




Another citizen video emerged showing a police officer tasering a mentally-ill man who posed no threat to him.

But am I the only one who finds it disturbing that the videographer is not only hoping the man would get tased, but then sounds ecstatic when he actually does get tased?

I’m sure he was elated that he caught the cop in the act of tasing a mentally ill man; a sure hit for Youtube.

But I really have to stress it to these citizen journalists – the more you control your emotions, the less distracting you will be on video.

In other words, either keep your mouth shut or provide a simple narration of what is happening with some quick background of what took place before you started recording.

This is not a game. Save the cheering for the sports bar. Or at least until after it's posted on Youtube.

The incident took place in Prescott, Arizona over the weekend and has already been covered by the local newspaper as well as the Fox News affiliate in Phoenix.
