Basically, a guy stepped out of his apartment, noticed police arresting someone and started filming using his phone. The police ordered him to disperse (from his own home no less) and when he attempted to comply with the order -- but didn't stop filming -- he was arrested for disobeying.
During the arrest, a deputy pointed a TASER at him. During the trial, the deputy testified under oath that he only aimed the TASER at the man because it had a flashlight on it and he needed the light.
So what I'm wondering is, is it the official position of the KCSO that pointing a dangerous weapon at someone does not warrant alarm providing it has a flashlight attached?
