Video Shows Mpls. Cop Taser Man With Hands On Car

The Minneapolis Police Department is again defending itself against accusations that an officer went too far during an arrest.

Video given to WCCO-TV late Monday night shows a man with his hands on a squad car when an officer uses a Taser on his neck.

Attorney Albert Goins is suing the City of Minneapolis on behalf of his client, Rolando Ruiz. They're asking for $75,000 and that the officer involved be reprimanded.

The video given to WCCO starts only seconds before the Taser is used on Ruiz, not what led up to the incident. But in that time, no struggle can be seen before the officer used his Taser on Ruiz. What is seen is Ruiz with his hands on the hood of the officer's car.

The dash camera of the squad car was rolling when the officer approached Ruiz with Taser in hand.

"Takes that Taser, puts it to the back of his neck and shocks him until he is incapacitated on the ground, slumped before the squad car," said Albert Goins.

Goins says his client's civil rights were violated. He wants the city to settle the claim out of court. If not, he says he and his client are prepared to take their case to federal court.

A Minneapolis police spokesperson says Chief Tim Dolan has not seen the tape. The department is not saying anything about the incident, because it is now a legal matter.

The officer named in the incident has not yet been independently confirmed by WCCO. There were a number of officers on the scene.

really, then how come the so called good cops never come forward and report the bad ones - It's always someones word or a video - there are more bad cops then people think - a good cop is not really good if he doesn't report a bad cop

ARE YOU KiDDING ME!?! tasors are ment for someone resisting or not coaperating. it does not matter what happened before this is not legal to tase someone with their hands on the car like that.

Fuck you police officers, seriously. Fuck you. Even the good ones, how dare you let peices of shit like this wear a badge. Fuck you.

Fired is not enough. If an officer uses excessive force as such he deserves jail time like any citizen would get for assaulting someone.

@1UnitedStatesSpartan You are a complete idiot.

It is obvious that the tazer was unneeded, and it that it was not justified. Doing it for that long is also unnecessary and cruel. Dumb fuck.

If you think this officer has the right to live, then you do not. End of story.

just like a gun

They are supposed to be weapons of last resort, not first thing to do

[bkershaccount]

not only was it excessive to use the taser, he clearly kept tasing him for several seconds after the man was incapacitated.
