Oh yay, another video that starts JUST before someone was arrested, but doesn't show what lead up to it. No context is great.

And I say that man was a coward to hide behind his kid.  Though, mostly, I have no idea what actually happened.  Sorry, but I don't have blind hate for anyone in this case, as you do.  Maybe the cops went too far.  Or maybe the guy in question was being extremely disruptive. Though, I do find it funny that in most cases that the same people who hate on the police and attack them all the time are also the ones crying when shit goes down and the police aren't there to protect them.  Can't win with some people.

Also, the part about the caller not being there when the police arrived?  So what.  9 times out of 10 when there is a disturbance call, the caller isn't going to insert themselves into the situation by walking over there.  You call the cops and let them handle.

There are some shitty cops but there are also lots of great cops that risk their life everyday to make America a safer place.

LMAO!!  You have no idea what actually happened, yet automatically the caller was in the wrong?  And it's white supremacy and police brutality?  Sure.  And they didn't tase him while he had the kid.  They waited til he finally let go of him before they did. 

And if you think this same shit doesn't happen to white people, you have obviously never watched Cops.

You’re saying white people don’t get tased?

The cops can be heard telling him to let go of the baby while a woman is standing there, presumably the mother, who can be seen taking the baby prior to the tasing. I don't understand why they had to tase him though, that part seems sketch. Cops tend to escalate quickly when their orders are not immediately followed. 

That's right.  The video was messed up for the "don't tase me, bro" guy.  He was actually black.

What is with this race baiting title? The whole op should deleted and reworded. Shaun King has been known for tweeting fake information before and he has a habit of race baiting. I would not be surprised that his take on this is completely wrong.

Well, no.  I mean, unless you're saying that it's okay to generalize the whole based on the actions of a few.  That would be interesting.  Either you'd be mocked for holding such an ignorant position or you'd be a complete hypocrite when you failed to apply your philosophy everywhere.  Based on that, for example, you'd also hate black people because some of them commit violent crime.  You'd hate everyone, in fact.  

So, which do you pick?  Ignorance or hypocrisy?

Low and behold.

Westland police released this statement to 7 Action News on Monday:

On August 17th Westland Police Officers were dispatched to an address on Belding Court in Westland on report that a male subject had physically assaulted a female and that he had damaged her vehicle.

Westland Police Officers made contact with the man involved in the incident. It was determined that the man was going to be arrested for the assault, the damaged property and also for a number of outstanding arrest warrants. Once the man learned that he was going to be arrested he grabbed the child from the mother’s arms and held the child tightly. The man refused to release the child back to the mother who was also asking for the child back.

At that time the police officers on scene felt that a close quarters direct taser deployment directly to the subjects back was the safest option. The video shows that during the deployment the child was also in the hands of the mother. The child was not injured during the arrest. The child was examined by the Westland EMT and turned over to the mother.

Like all Use of Force incidents, The Westland Police Department will conduct a thorough internal investigation to determine whether policy and procedure was followed and whether the incident was handled correctly. At this point in time that investigation is only in the beginning phase.
