Pinellas Deputy Smells Booze; Pasco Peers Get Ride Home
Daniels then saw the car pass vehicles in a no-passing zone, the report states. By the time he managed to catch up with the vehicle, it had pulled over in a turn lane at County Road 611 and a passenger, Pasco County Deputy Kent Hentschel, 24, was urinating outside the car in full view of other motorists, the report states.
Try getting away with that if you don’t wear a badge to work. Come to think of it, I saw a funnier version of this story; it was called Super Troopers.
Taser Use in Man’s Death Broke Rules, Police Say
The lieutenant who gave the order was placed on modified assignment, the statement said, while the officer who fired the device was given administrative duties.
The statement said that the officers at the scene had called by radio for an inflatable bag as the events unfolded, but it had not yet arrived when the man, Inman Morales, 35, was struck with the device and fell.
Modified Duties? That sounds fishy. The overzealous use of tasers in leiu of shooting people is ridiculous. The ever-more liberal interpretation of necessary force is sad.
