A Florida man was repeatedly tased by police officers and arrested for refusing to identify himself, but instead of apologizing, the Casselberry Police Department insisted it would use footage of the incident for training purposes.
[video=youtube;WAohbDVYfWk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAohbDVYfWk&feature=player_embedded#![/video]
The video begins with police accusing Zikomo Peurifoy of jaywalking before they demand to see his identification.
The officer is asked by Peurifoy what statute requires that he show his ID, to which he responds, “Give me your ID or you’re going to go to jail.”
When Peurifoy refuses, two officers grab him while the man warns he will press charges for assault because he has committed no crime. Requests for a supervisor to be called are ignored.
After cops attempt to handcuff Peurifoy, he resists before a taser is used repeatedly while Peurifoy yells, “You are assaulting me.”
Peurifoy still manages to escape the clutches of police before he is repeatedly tased again before he finally falls to the ground and is arrested.
Far from apologizing for the incident, which appears to clearly show cops over-reacting, the Casselberry Police Department defended the actions of police and told WFTV, “That their officers followed policy so well that they’re going to use the video for training.”
Peurifoy faces charges of “resisting with violence and battery on a law enforcement officer,” despite the fact that the video shows Peurifoy did not attack any of the officers at any point during the confrontation.
In order to detain an person and demand their ID, police need to have reasonable suspicion that criminal activity is taking place.
Aside from the dubious contention that Peurifoy was mandated to show his ID because of alleged jaywalking, this video seems to speak more to the fact that police now believe citizens are legally required to follow their every order.
This myth crops up again and again when citizens are told by law enforcement that that filming police officers is illegal, when a 2011 First Circuit Court of Appeals decision confirmed that it is not.
Despite the law saying that recording police officers on duty is a First Amendment right, numerous incidents have occurred where citizens are intimidated and arrested for doing so, arising out of the false premise that failing to obey an order from a police officer, despite that command being unlawful, is itself a crime.[/quote]

Nice shorts, officer.

Claims he is not resisting arrest while struggling and refusing verbal commands.
This video is comedy gold.
The article is beyond biased.
The best part is? The video blatantly shows that the 'victim' was in the wrong the whole time. He committed an offense, decided to try to play lawyer, and got a wake up call.

I don't know what you're talking about InfoWars provides nothing but 100% real and unbiased news, such as their highly truthful "aliens might invade when the olympic torch is lit" or their article about how the government can read your mind you need to wake up sheeple!!!
ok so i understand the police guy was being an asshole, but why didn't the other guy just show his ID and get it over with?
If you want to fight the police, do it in court
The moron broke the law, all be it some small stupid law, but none the less broke it, then says the crime doesn't matter since nobody got hurt. Well let's just all discharge our firearms and run traffic lights, it's okay as long as no one gets hurt

This shit right here.
I hear that quoted all the time.
"There was no victim so it's not a crime!"
AKA - I break the law and as long as no one gets hurt that means I can get away with it!
I agree. I'm going to go out, shoot rifles into the air. Run stop signs. Stand in traffic. Drive on the wrong side of the road. Drive down the highway as fast as I can. Fly airplanes 20 feet above the highway, and then to finish it all off I am going to make a batch of meth on the sidewalk with my rickety and unstable meth lab!
As long as no one gets hurt, I'm good, right?

Made up sense of self-entitlement is the problem. People feel entitled to being able to do whatever the fuck they want. God forbid anyone say anything about that to them though.
I also just noticed after watching the entire video the guy had a handgun as well...
Although carrying lawfully. Resisting arrest while carrying a weapon is not a smart choice... I'm shocked he did not pull it out and started shooting because he was being 'victimized'. He will not have that license for long to carry if it was not already taken away.
EDIT:
Aaaah. It all makes sense now. The guy is a security guard! (Keep watching and listening when he tells the officers he has an identification to be an "officer" and then later says he works for security.)
Guy should've went along with the police's commands and challenged them in court. What do you expect will happen when you begin to argue with the police, they'll have some sort of revelation and change just like that?
While he was hysterical, I don't get why they always end up tasing them. The person was not violent and he was just walking away. Why couldn't the two of them force him to the ground then put on handcuffs? Why always the tasing as if they can't be bothered to put some effort into it?

YOU BASTARRRRDDDDDSSSSS
Just teach the american police how to take a man down without using a fucking less lethal weapon.

I dont even know if finnish police ever had to taze a man. Not from little things like this, atleast.
Just a quick question, is there a law anywhere (I know it would vary from nation to nation or state to state) that requires you to show your ID or you could be prosecuted?
[QUOTE=Naaz;36737780]That's biased. Goddamn report on the news, don't commentate on it. That's the reader's job, dammit.[/QUOTE]
Indeed, just because some police do it doesn't mean police in general do

Seems like a North Korea thing to do, pretty sure China would maybe too

I'm curious about this too. I thought that, if you commit a crime, even as minor as jaywalking, you had to show your ID to the police. Also, I [i]think[/i] that if a police officer can't get a suspect handcuffed or on the ground because they're fighting back and the officer isn't strong enough to stop them, they're supposed to use tasers to get them cuffed.
I'm not 100% sure on either of those, can anyone tell me if I'm wrong?
Those cops are pussies, it took like atleast 3 minutes to subdue that guy. Why were they so hesitant to arrest him? I think he didn't actually had to show ID and the cops knew that.
The black people are dumb too, they just need to shut their mouths.
What did he even do in the first place? He crossed at the sidewalk which stopped the flow of traffic at a stop sign? Hopefully somebody can make it more clear to me.
Infowars is a shitty biased news source.
