Portly Gentleman Calmly Removes Multiple Police Tasers While Being Beaten For Not Paying A Bar Tab

Source - Jacksonville Beach police used a Taser, a baton and four sets of handcuffs to arrest a man accused of punching a bouncer and walking out on his $235 bar tab on Sunday. 

White pulled the prongs off the first Taser, seemingly unaffected. “Stop doing that,” White can be heard saying in the video. That comment led to a second Taser deployment from a second officer as well as an attempted headlock, from which White wriggled free.  

 “I’m not fighting,” said White as an officer beat his thigh with a baton. White swatted at the officer during he beating. A third officer deployed a third Taser, which brought White to the ground.

The officer wrote in his report that he deployed that Taser because White refused to give him his hand to be cuffed. Action News Jax Crime and Safety Expert Ken Jefferson said he does not believe that’s enough of a reason to use a Taser on someone.

Removing tasers is always a crowd pleaser. The big fella did it twice. Impressive, but he probably should’ve just dropped to the ground. Even if you’re right, it’s not worth the beating that’s sure to follow. Imagine being the cop. You dart a guy with a hundred-thousand volts of electricity and he reacts…plot twist, calmly. “Please stop doing that.” Strange response from a guy who was just shocked with enough electricity to power a small town. Despite his manners, it still has to be an uneasy feeling for the cops. After the second taser I think would’ve just change sides and let him go. “Sorry nothing we can do.” Going in for a rear naked choke would be the last thing on my mind. Especially when the neck you’re choking is essentially a greased up beer keg. Look at this guy

He’s built like a Dennis Hof/Bender Rodriguez hybrid. Good thing the officer came in with the third  jolt or he’d still be politely voicing his displeasure.

The whole thing started over a bar tab. If he didn’t want to pay he should have just walked out. Instead he *allegedly* punched the bouncer in the face, had his legs smashed in with a baton, and got shocked so bad he ended up looking like a dead bird. That bar should be ashamed of themselves. Hopefully they’ll think twice before over serving their next patron.
