A former police officer from Gwinnett County, Georgia, will serve a year of probation after pleading no contest to tasering a waiter for the fun of it.
The incident happened in February 2009, and it took this long for the case to go to court.
The waiter said the Georgia cop always intimidated and harassed restaurant employees. It took place in front of other police officers, who did nothing.
Then one night in February 2009, while the waiter was talking with the other cops, he was tasered from behind. Not only that, but the Georgia cop that tasered him did so for a full minute.
The cop feels not regret. The Gwinnett County News reported that the cop stated: “Who says I did it by accident?”
The restaraunt’s security camera recorded the whole thing, but it took attorney’s several months to get the video.
The official police investigation concluded that the rogue cop liked to use his taser “like a toy.”
Two years later the now former cop gets only probation for his fun. Apparently the other cops who were present resigned from their jobs.
