MPD sued for using Taser on man with hands on car

"The Minneapolis Police Department is dealing with yet another lawsuit, this time for allegedly using a Taser on a man's neck while he is seen with his hands on the car and not resisting the officer. The lawsuit comes in a string of others in recent months that have video evidence of alleged police misconduct.
In this lawsuit, Rolando Ruiz is seen just seconds before the incident with his hands on top of the squad car. He appears calm and not resisting arrest. As the police officer approaches, he puts the Taser against his neck and continues using it until he is incapacitated on the ground, screaming."

If a cop ever did that to me I'd kill him.

I share your sentiments, anon.
We're all going to be forced to make very hard decisions soon.
