Yet the man drove at high speed while drunk so I highly doubt he cares about the welfare of his poor child anyway
what does the colour of his skin have to do with the story?

Lot of anger

So the child should face more trauma on top of that by watching his dad get tasered?

At least the one officer was taking care of the child in what looked like a respectable manner

It hard to judge with what happened in the length of vid.
Why was he stopped?
Why was the child taken out of the car at that point in time?
It looks like the man went to square up to one officers but I'm not sure how much care the officer tasing took to insure nobody got Injured because the other officer and girl was pretty close when he shot it off.

At his drink driving and with his kid in the car ?

So you are defending the guy who was drunk driving .. with his own kid in the car and who then squared up to the policeman in a presumably threatening way ??

He was arrested on 8 different criminal offences and the incident has been sent to an Independent office of police conduct

People worrying about the kid seeing his drunken dad tasered ... I’d guess the poor kid has had to put up with far worse at home ..

There's not really much to go on here. Some bloke endangered the life of his kid by speeding and drunk driving? I'd probably taser him as well.

Lucky they never blew the bloody petrol station up ~ should not be using a tazer in a petrol station ~ what twats.

The poor guy was probably feeling threatened and wasn’t thinking straight ?
You still see people lighting up cigs on petrol forecourts though ..

I would think the officer will be in trouble for it ~ not allowed to get mobiles out in petrol stations cos of risk. nevermind a taser

Yeah .. maybe a warning or whatever.. looking at the footage the guy who used the taser was pretty small compared to the guy who was so aggressive .. I’m wondering if he just panicked.. you don’t want some scary guy cursing at your face with all the worry of the virus .

Oh yeah, let's not allow the police to taser someone who was driving drunk in case a kid sees. I could understand the outrage if they'd shot him...

It's more about the lack of duty of care and health and safety by the officer

We don’t really have all the evidence available to be honest ...hopefully one or both of the cops had video running

He shot a taser while his colleague was so close to him and a young child a couple of steps away in a gas station that's really bad duty of care

Police must deal with 20,000 drunk people with kids every time united play at home, and about 10 people in total when city play; I'm pretty sure their first approach isn't to taser the **** out of someone.

As you know the response has to be proportionate to the threat.

If really does need to be taken into context though .. it was a big aggressive, drunken guy who was acting very threateningly .. maybe he felt the guy had a knife or something, maybe the guy threatened them with a knife , maybe he made threats towards the cop’s family .. we just don’t know ..

That’s why I said it’s no use jumping to conclusions when we just don’t know enough about the situation

True .. but as I’ve said repeatedly... we just don’t know what the threat amounts to .. he could have looked as though he was reaching for a knife or he may have said he was going to use a knife.. we just don’t know enough.
The policeman’s reaction suggests that there’s something we just aren’t aware of ..whilst many in here are behaving like our gutter press and trying to ‘make’ a headline

All the more reason to remove the child and use the Taser from a safe distance. Away from the petrol pumps obv.
You of course have no reason to suggest there was a knife, the police don't usually put themselves at risk by grabbing people with knives.

We DON’T know why the cop act unwisely !!
That’s my point .. there COULD have been a knife involved in a verbal threat

As I said that would have been more likely to cause the officers to retreat rapidly and call for back up. Not sure why we are delving into fantasy here though.

What matters here is the police's conduct.
Tasers and weapons in general aren't to be employed to de-escalate situations. They're for defense and the defense of others. The officers couldn't be bothered to diffuse the situation and they made the moronic choice to discharge a taser in a petrol station. There was no concern for their surroundings or the safety of people around them and certainly no care given to soothe the child.

Speculation on why a cop reacted so unwisely is hardly fantasy ... it is a forum after all ..

As I keep saying - we should wait until we have all the facts - also other cop seemed to be trying to pacify the child in that 8 second clip we saw ..

Yes I appreciate that but I’m wondering/ presuming that there’s a factor or two that we don’t know about ..

We have all seen clips in which police are faced with someone who has weapons and police do not deploy the taser.
I think In this case it was poor judgment and the fall from being tasered onto concrete could of been fatal.
I got stopped today for no insurance the police officer was actually nice.
