    My guess is she knew he was a felon before the stop. The “oh yea” feels like a cheer for “getting him.” This whole thing feels like preexisting knowledge.

      Like a habitual troublemaker that never really gets caught with anything solid, and firearm on parole is the long awaited “gotcha”?

      I could see that being the reason for the exuberance actually. That’s plausible. Could also explain the taser, frustrated with dealing with dudes shit for so long maybe…

      You’ve added a shadow of a doubt I didn’t have before. Good discourse :)

        And that right there is why thugs with badges always get acquitted. A cop isn’t a judge, jury, or executioner. I don’t care what she thought she knew already, there is no excuse for this kind of violent assault against someone who still holds the legal presumption of innocence. She is a criminal and belongs behind bars.
