Hartford, CT - ...surveillance video appears to contradict an officer's report... Officer Erik Hansen was fingerprinting former Connecticut Freedom of Information attorney Henry "Hank" Pawlowski Jr. The video ... shows Pawlowski slightly raising his right arm when Hansen roughly drives him to the floor and two other officers shoot Pawlowski with stun guns. ...

What next? A good solid tasering for a slightly raised eyebrow?
If so, then skeptics like me are doomed. One of my eyebrows is permanently cocked in a quizical expression of incredulity.
PS: Read the entire news story at the above link. There's much more to become outraged about. The report has all the usual taser-incident plot lines: official police report contradicted by the unblinking eye of video. The classic "cover charge". The chief instinctively defending his officers and reportedly unable to see what is reportedly visible in the video.
