Yes, this is exactly what's needed: Members of the Austin Police Department apologize for their colleague's actions with a taser during a traffic stop:
"If one person spreads the word that this is how he was treated and got no apology, it's like an infection that would spread," Matt Greer told the American-Statesman's Tony Plohetski. Greer represents the detective rank on the police union board. By now, the facts are fairly well-known: Eugene Snelling, 32, was driving on MoPac Boulevard (Loop 1) last Thanksgiving when Cpl. Thomas O'Connor stopped him for going 5 mph over the speed limit.
Video of the stop here. Via. Three cheers for those police officers willing to stand up and remind us that they really are on our side.
