One cop was waving a golf club, acting as a threatening criminal.Safe to say, it's a good thing the cop who was in on the drill wasn't using a gun.
Two officers in patrol cars nearby heard over the police radio, there was trouble in the area.
So from the time they heard the broadcast, to when they arrived, they thought they were dealing with a crazed suspect.
Bill Profitt, St. Petersburg Police Spokesman:
"They saw him make a threatening move with a golf club towards one of the officers. They issued a verbal warning, 'taser' he didn't respond. So they tasered him."
Also, according to the original story, there were 2 Tampa Bay Buccaneers there, doing a ride-along. Like that had anything to do with anything.
