Suspended Onondaga County Sheriff’s deputy says Tasering woman was justified
Love the slant of the Today Show story, which begins by describing Harmon as “law abiding”, and yet she defied the officer when he was giving her instructions to stay in the vehicle.

Onondaga County Sheriff’s Deputy Sean Andrews says he did nothing wrong in Tasering Audra Harmon during a traffic stop in Salina in January, and that Sheriff Kevin Walsh was playing politics when he suspended Andrews for 30 days without pay a week after the story was reported in The Post-Standard and on syracuse.com.
Deputy Andrews wrote a lengthy e-mail to his friends and family giving his side of Harmon’s arrest on Jan. 31. The story of the arrest and video from Andrews’ dashboard camera drew a national attention and was featured on NBC’s “Today” show, CNN and CBS.

The cop was lying. The tape showed it so clearly that the charges were immediately dropped. Therefore there is absolutely no justification for defending this guy.
We must have seen two different tapes…
