You'd think after all the horror stories about death-by-cop and death-by-tasering-by-cop, that a) a cop would be hesitant to use it on an innocent fifteen-year-old boy and b) the fifteen-year-old boy wouldn't have verbally requested a tasering... for fun...
But that's exactly what happened at one party consisting of more than a dozen underage drinkers and one police officer... an off-duty police officer... who was also drinking.
The video capture above is more than you need to know, but the facts are these, in case you care:
Officer Dan Nesmith has now been fired from the force. He admitted to the party after his own taser was used as evidence against him. It turns out every police taser has a computer chip in it and that told Eustis' police chief when it was fired.
It's absolutely shocking that a police officer would host a house party with kids as young as 15 and 16 drinking, but it is jaw-dropping to watch a cop who's been drinking offer to use a taser on a 15-year-old boy in the middle of the big birthday bash.
Do we need to mention this took place in a small town in Florida? Nope, didn't think so.
By the way, check out this hilarious picture caption:
It was one of the kid's goals-- life goals-- to receive a tasering? Dude, Officer Nesmith, tase him again...
