Video Contrasts Police Depiction Of Stun Gun On Black Man

The exchange demonstrates how the accounts of police sometimes present an incomplete or distorted version of their engagement with the public.

A Tennessee police officer who used his stun gun on a DoorDash driver wrote an arrest report saying the man had become argumentative while denying he was speeding, refused to hand over identifying information, demanded to see a supervisor and stayed in his car when ordered to get out.

The driver — who faces charges of speeding, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct based on the officer's sworn affidavit — pressed record on his phone after he was pulled over. That recording, made public by the driver's attorney, tells a different story.

It shows Delane Gordon holding his driver's license as Collegedale Police Officer Evan Driskill stands with his taser in a firing position. "He said he pulled me over for a traffic violation and he's gonna Tase me. You can't do that officer because I called for your supervisor," Gordon says.
