A former Gwinnett County police officer was indicted Wednesday for allegedly stunning a Waffle House employee with a Taser as a prank.
A grand jury indicted Cpl. Gary Miles on charges of aggravated assault and violation of oath of office. He resigned from the department last June. Miles is out of jail awaiting trial on $8,100 bond.
The waiter, Daniel Wilson, 23, told investigators that Miles was a frequent patron of the restaurant at 2725 Grayson Highway in Loganville. Wilson said he was chatting with two other Gwinnett County officers on Feb. 16, 2009, when Miles came up from behind and zapped him with the Taser. He said Miles and the other officers laughed as his knees buckled and he fell to the ground.
Miles told investigators that he only "spark tested" the Taser near the employee's back "just to scare him a little bit, " according to an internal investigation file. A lawsuit that Wilson filed against Gwinnett County and the three officers is still pending in State Court.

I don’t think you can call Tasering someone “a prank”, especially if the offender is a cop. If one of us did it to one of them, they’d be screaming for us to get the chair. Hell, if one of us did it to one of their dogs.

Nothing good happens in the streets after midnight; and nothing good happens at a Wafflehouse, ever.

I wouldn't stun this one with Laz's unit:

but I still do not appreciate the use of the word "pigs' to describe law enforcement officers.
I have a few words to describe revenue collection enforcers, but my posts would be summarily deleted.

Some of these cops are in the wrong line of work. They should be writing for a network TV cop drama. They are very talented at creative writing.
Read a police report where a citizen was hurt.
The creativity in their writing is brilliant. They should be making millions.

Maybe the cop heard about the singing waiter from Houston & was ticked that this guy wouldn’t sing.

"Spark Testing" of Taser units is dirty work, and we in this country do not sufficiently reward the hardworking LEO's who take this onerous task upon themselves without extra compensation.
Police Corporal Miles (a distant relative of Jimmy Carter's?) had obviously not received the memo suggesting that Applebee's was the new venue for this procedure. Hooters had been tried, but those flesh-colored leg covers the waitresses wear are impervious to mild electric shocks.
This being Waffle House, syrup should have immediately been applied to the affected area.
