chockingh the kid and using a taser, then maybe there is a problem with the man also.

But I am sure that the officer was in fear for his life.

And then he confiscated everyone's cell phones and deleted their videos of the incident because he had nothing to hide.

And the cop allowed himself to get bitten once to make it look as if the cop is the victim here.
