Federal Lawsuit after Guy Tasered 6 Times for not Complying after Routine Traffic Stop
On May first Bruce Harper was stopped by a Davis County Sheriff's Deputy.
Harper was pulled over because his front license plate wasn't hanging properly.
"Stay in your car, stay in your car."
This what the sheriff’s deputy yelled at Harper.
But Harper didn't stay in the car.
The officer then drew his gun and suddenly it was on.
In fact, more than sixty times, the officer t
More..old Harper to turn around.
And more than a dozen times, Harper asked the Davis County Sheriff's Deputy why he was being stopped.
At one point, Harper even asked, "Are you going to shoot me?
Harper was tasered once with shooting electrodes.
Then, reportedly, according to testimony at his trial, Harper was tasered at least five or six more times with the taser held directly against him.
Mark Flores: "He was certain at that point he was going to die. That his heart was just going to explode and he was going to die."
Harper was charged with what his attorney calls “resisting arrest.”
But at trial a few weeks ago, a jury acquitted him of that charge.
His attorney now says he will file a federal lawsuit against those involved for allegedly violating Harper's civil rights.
Mark Flores: "I still find it unbelievable that someone can get pulled over for a crooked front license plate... and somehow ends up getting tasered six times."

life's too short to be so up tight and miserable. coppa could've defused the whole situation by changing his unexplained confrontational tone and saying "aw its just your number plate chief. seems to be hanging off". the citizen woulda prolly been thankful and they all woulda gone on their merry way. instead its a big saga of arsehattery all because the police officer has an authority complex and has forgotten he is their to serve the citizen, not vice versa

If libtards were in charge this guy would have to beg and plead this scumbag to put his hands on his head.

All you folks that think the kid should have just done what he was told instead of standing up for his rights need to remember that when you cry about how Obama is going to take all of your rights away. What do you need them for if you believe you should yield to authority at all cost. Silly hypocrites.
