White officer seen tasing black man sitting on curb won't be suspended
LANCASTER, Pa. -- A Pennsylvania mayor says a (white) police officer seen on video using a stun gun on a (black) man as he was sitting on a curb last month will not be suspended or fired. Lancaster Mayor Diane Sorace said Friday that the officer has not violated current use of force policies ...
Officers had been responding to the report of a man with a bat, but no bat was found at the scene. Police have said that twenty-seven-year-old Sean Williams, who is black didn't follow their instructions, but Williams' attorney, Brian Mildenberg, told Crimesider that Williams was "fully compliant and peaceful at all times" and was receiving inconsistent instructions from two different officers on scene, including from a second officer who told him to bend his legs.
Lancaster Mayor Diane Sorace said Friday she was sorry for "the hurt, pain and turmoil this incident has caused for all involved."

you'll see why the tough guy shot the sitting man in the back.....His partner..Blondie. And I bet she's relatively new to the force. Just showin off "how we do things." ugh. I've seen MANY of these cowards in a bullet proof vest types. Note the biceps...(or lack thereof....big red flag for a police officers and over compensating w their "guns"
Sort of a last chance job....being a cop in some of these cities.
