Taser abuse, again

Last year an Alamance County man mouthed off to an Elon cop and the next day the cop tasered him for no apparent reason. John Wayne Paylor was essentially assaulted by the cops in what was clearly revenge.

I support the police but there’s no way anyone can excuse this behavior with a straight face. If Paylor caused an incident the day before, why was he not arrested right then and there? This cop should be looking for work now, if not looking at a judge as a defendant. I’d be embarrassed about this if I were a cop.

This makes you wonder how often this happens and no one finds out about it.

  1. It’s high time to revive the epithet “pig” for this significant subculture of law enforcement.

  2. Hey it’s easy to justify anything. You just ignore any inconvenient facts and emphasize some other point that supports the other view. We see examples everyday. Our leaders do it daily now. Other people in authority follow their example.
