Another Taser Incident in Fort Worth

It isn't often that police whip out the taser inside a Walmart store, but it happened in Fort Worth. A 30-year old father of two says he was hit with the stun gun, while waiting at customer service to retrieve a lost wallet.

Antwone Freeman says he got upset and talked back to an off-duty officer working security, when he says the officer told him to "shut up". Freeman says he didn't deserve to be arrested for disorderly conduct and when he protested, he got tased 3 times. 

But, police tell a different story. They say Freeman was causing some problems and tried to use his 1-year old nephew as a human shield during the arrest. They also say an officer was head butted during the arrest.

All of this was caught on store security tape. You can check it out. Just watch my story and tell me what you think. Excessive force or proper procedure?

Most Definitely Excessive force.. All the cops involved need to be fired, or arrested... Why did they rush him in the 1st place? The police were looking for trouble that day..
