Nine times out of ten, reports of police brutality or excessive use of force turn out to be reasonable in the situations. But every now and then a case presents itself where the incident was clearly provoked or escalated unnecessarily by a police officer who doesn’t deserve to wear the badge. This is one of those cases.
The victim's lawyer says that the officer "just got mad." https://t.co/qsZUyuTXfB

Nate Carter was checking his mail. When Chattanooga police officer Cody Thomas approached him, Carter tried to return to his home. That’s when Thomas deployed a taser, threatened to shoot his dog, and then waived his gun at Carter’s family before arresting Carter.
Carter is suing for $3 million.
Opinion
Dealing with real criminals is difficult enough for law enforcement officers. When politicians, mainstream media, anti-cop activists enter the equation as they so often do nowadays, the thankless job of being a cop is much harder. But the worst thing that cops have to deal with is other cops making the rest of them look bad.
There was absolutely no reason to continue to question Carter. He didn’t match the description of the person described to police dispatchers as the suspect. He was clearly checking his own mail, passing his own dog, and going into his own house. Had Thomas simply let him go, and there was no reason for him not to, then this would never have escalated. Instead, it seemed like Thomas needed to utilize his power on someone and Carter was the most convenient option.
Keep in mind there was allegedly a person with a gun in the neighborhood at this point. That’s why Thomas was called to the scene in the first place, and that person clearly wasn’t the guy checking his own mail. How Thomas came to the conclusion that tasing Carter and using so many police assets to focus on arresting him when there was a guy with a gun roaming the neighborhood is unfathomable.
He should have just let Carter check his mail and get back to his home and family. Then, he should have searched for the guy with the gun.

“Thomas later claimed that Carter was standing in the street and “bolted” prior to the incident. He charged Carter with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. Those charges were thrown out by a judge in November and Carter is now suing.” – Zuri Davis
Final Thoughts
Being a cop is hard enough in today’s super-sensitive society. But when police clearly cross the line and engage in activities that put innocent people in jeopardy, the jobs of real cops get much harder.
