A police officer, especially
one who reflexively uses his or her
Taser in situations in which a
real cop would rely on his or her wits and communication skills.
Peace Loving Citizen: Excuse me, officer, might you have the
time?
Taser Monkey (later, to Grand Jury): The perpetrator approached me and presented a reasonable request in a peaceable manner. I had no choice but to tase him. And tasers are "
non-lethal" so it's obvious he died on purpose just to frame me.
Grand Jury: But your victim was a 90-year-old
man with a heart condition in a wheelchair with an oxygen tank... asking for the
time. And you killed him.
Taser Monkey: Exactly. He could have been a
terrorist with a wheelchair bomb, plotting to kill me and everyone else in the area. A lesser cop might have answered with the
time and we could all be dead right now!
Grand Jury: Oh right! What were we thinking? Of course we'll side with you no matter what. Fuck the citizens!
