Man tased within 45 Seconds of Traffic Stop (video)
After an investigation, the department's Internal Affairs office saw no need for disciplinary action. But then-Acting Chief Cathy Ellison reviewed it and ordered a three-day suspension for O’Connor, who served it and then returned to duty.
When Art Acevedo, the new chief from California, saw the video, he strongly disapproved of O'Connor's action but saw in the footage what some would call "teaching moment". He released the video, told officers to watch it, and made it clear that any officer who did the same as O'Connor would be in serious trouble.
This is what happen to the officer after the investigation.
I'm getting sick of all the tasering that's going on. I believe tasers should be use inplace of a gun. End of story. Between June 2001 and June 2007, there were at least 245 cases of deaths of subjects soon after having been shocked using Tasers.
