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.

Yep. Yet another race bait attempt. You know, if racism was so prevalent, then why do they constantly have to push false narratives to try to make their case. We should just all easily see it. And there should be a true story a day about it. But, most of the time it turns out that we always get the first out of context bit of the story, people automatically jump to race baiting, then we soon find out the truth. Sadly, it seems like too many either don't follow up on the story, or just want to believe the first bits of it, and keep their biases alive.
Also looks like what I said was right. He was a coward hiding behind a kid.
