On September 14th of last year, Utah State Trooper John Gardner was caught on tape attacking motorist Jared Massey with a taser because Massey questioned why he was pulled over, refused to sign a speeding ticket, and generally failed to be sufficiently sniveling in the face of Gardner’s authority. The footage ended up on Youtube (see it here), where it helped spark public interest in the case.
Thuggish behavior and brutalization of innocent people by America ’s increasingly militarized police is, sadly, nothing new or shocking, and a seasoned libertarian should be surprised neither by Gardner ’s behavior or the fact that he suffered no punishment for his actions. (Follow-up story on the case here.)
