Deputy's Practical Joke Hits Bottom [Video]

Probably shouldn't of done it in front of inmates...nor in front of the camera. A joke that got a little carried away maybe, I've shocked my brother before as a joke and then a battle royale ensued. I agree with what Maine says.

If you're gonna be stupid you gotta be tough. This was just a dumb thing to do. Everyone here who has been tased knows that it's not pleasant. He could have really hurt her. It's not even slightly funny. She ran away from him to avoid him shocking her and he did it anyway. I would have been pissed. This could have ended terribly and the Officer should have been fired. The weapons provided to LE Officers are dangerous and not meant to be used as a form of entertainment.

Why is everyone standing around? The guy with his hands in his pockets and the other one just sitting there watching. Maybe someone could have put a stop to this before it happened. The people watching should be held somewhat accountable for what they didn’t do.

"Show me your friends, and I'll show you your future."

I don't think it was that bad. Looks like they were fooling around and he took it a little to far. I think the formal reprimand was enough. He learned his lesson. This is one reason I don't like "less than lethal" weapons. Some folks think it's okay to fool around with them. I have had pepper spray in my intake vents, on the door handle, that kind of stuff. It was all in good fun, part of the job. I had a female friend/co-worker put a tampon in my thermos one time, let me tell you those things are absorbent! Relax folks, it's not like they were playing with a shotgun or something.

Whatever happened to the good old days of the surprise knee strike to the common peroneal ? :-)

What was dude thinking?! Damn. The irony of this is that the Deputy was probably a top notch guy. All of his hard work and dedication undone in an instant. He was def thinking with the wrong head.

Listening to some of your pathetic assessments of this situation it seems that the deputy could have just shot her in the ass with his duty sidearm. No biggie.....right? After all they were just flirting! The deputy needs to be terminated from employment if the Sheriff has the least bit of integrity. She will be meeting with an attorney soon when she sees dollar signs. Or maybe she'll strike some deal with Collier County Government to "move right up the promotional ladder." What a mess.........made even bigger by the Collier County Sherriff himself.
