OT: High School Football Player Tasered Twice During Traffic Stop

Submitted by fleetwoodzback on

Maybe it's because I live in ACC country and  hear more of it but it seems that there is an increase in future/current ACC football players having run ins with the law recently.

Parks is a Parade All-American who holds the North Carolina state rushing record and has committed to play college football at the University of Virginia.....

Hartman said the deputy told Parks he was going to deploy his taser if Parks did not comply. When Parks refused to surrender to the trooper, Parks was shot with the taser.

Bad news is coming in waves for us Hoos, isn't it?  But the fact that they never even bothered arresting Parks let alone charging him with anything - they just released him, free to go, from the hospital - says to me that this might be more of a cops behaving badly story than the other way around.

I believe this is a cops behaving badly scenario. 

Family and friends, coaches and teachers all claim he is a well grounded individual.
