‘Whitner, on the other hand, made a choice, and a bad one even if it turns out he sues and wins. It simply isn’t a good choice to confront, in any way, an agitated or otherwise "busy" police officer when his or her attention is focused on a potentially dangerous situation. This was a CHOICE, and not a mistake, and because of that, the only way Whitner begins to repair the damage to his reputation is to be accountable. Did the police overreact with the Taser? Possibly. Did Whitner’s actions, which his statement seems to admit, contribute to what happened? Uh huh.’
