Tractor-Trailer Tasering in the Tetons

Let's continue to work our way east this morning.

"2 police fired in Tasering of tractor driver, 76" by Associated Press | September 23, 2009

CHEYENNE, Wyo. - Two police officers have been fired for an incident where a 76-year-old man driving a tractor in a Wyoming town parade was chased and Tasered.

Can't be true, right? No frikkin' way!

Police say Bud Grose, who was driving an antique tractor in the parade [and] was shocked five times by Officer Michael Kavenius, disobeyed a traffic command from Kavenius. That led to a short pursuit and the Taser use, which outraged some in the town of 2,400....

So for that he gets a TASERING?!!!

--more--"

And you wonder why the Olympics turned down Chicago, do you?
