Defenseless guy gets tased by Minnesota cop

This is probably more sad than funny, but still. A Minnesota man got tasered by the police for resisting arrest. The only problem is that he wasn’t “resisting arrest” as much as he was “patiently resting his hands on the hood of the cop car, politely awaiting the police officer’s return.” I could see how you’d get those two things confused.
In the cop’s defense, the tasing of the man while he’s on the ground is out of the camera’s line of sight. For all we know, he may not have been tasing him, but rather tickling him or telling him a scary ghost story.
The cop is kind of dumb though. How do you not know by this point that there’s a camera instilled on the hood of the car you drive every single day? You can’t be so stupid. Even when people don’t know about a camera installed watching them, it’s probably their fault. “Gee, I had no clue that someone was watching me, other than the buzzing sound coming out of my light fixture and the sounds of a Persian man grunting and going, ‘Yes, more for Ardan! More for Ardan!’”
