that taser looked quite a bit like a gun, with out LE identification that seems like a great way to get shot by someone who could easily mistake that as a threat against their life.

When a cop pulls out a taser and approaches you.............I THINK HE IS SERIOUS!  If you need to ask, then you're the dumb ass
betcha they won't be doing that anymore

I hope they went and did it the next night. What exactly are they doing to deserve being tazed?

he may be a licensed peace officer, but at the time he wasn't a cop, he was a security guard.  he handled that situation very poorly and should have just asked them to leave right away. what the hell was he going to do with their ID anyway? use the system for non official purposes and try to dig up some dirt?



ask them to leave, if they don't, call the on duty cops and have them deal with it.

WTF does it matter? They weren't committing any crimes. Is it OK to taze people for standing in front of a store now?

Yeah, looks like he was in his PD uniform and also packing.

Still, not a smart move. Should have called the cops on duty and have the kids removed. A Wally World parking lot is not a fucking playground.

Badges are a dime a dozen. They give 19 year olds who do theft prevention badges at Target.

Wal Mart says it asked the company not to schedule the former cop/guard for any more shifts at their stores. That's nice, but they ought to schedule him for a few shifts at the local nut house.

Looks like a douchebag LEO looking to escalate a situation unnecessarily.

I  do not understand why anyone would pick a fight unless its the last possible solution. He should have called the police and waited (assuming they were just video taping run away carts, as the article says).

Cop/Security Guard couldn't resolve that situation without resorting to threats of violence?  Yeah....he isn't qualified for work..my opinion...doesn't matter...but i wouldn't want him to be in charge of law enforcement.

What transpired before the camera was recording?  Teens being beligerent?  Teens causing problems with the officer?  You don't know what was going on before the camera started recording.  Hopefully you don't have a substantial position of authority.  You have no idea of the context of a situation, yet you rush to judge.
