Sheriff Under Investigation After Allegedly Giving Taser to Man Who Appears on Video to Shock Son as Joke

This video is the subject of an investigation into Hallwood Chief of Police Wilson Glenn, who is accused of giving his taser to a father who then appears to tase his son as a joke.

Handing over a police weapon for laughs and giggles is hardly good police practice. The video appears to show the father playing around with a X-26 taser before handing it back to Glenn.

If true, this is not the first time that officers have found tasers to be fun distractions at parties, bachelor events, farms, restaurants or other locations.

An investigation is reportedly under way, here.

    The 50′s version: being dared to place a large screwdriver onto a car battery terminal and getting the crap shocked out of you.

    It would seem to me the Sheriff ought to look for a new line of work and that the father ought to be removed from the home that house his or any children. This is child abuse with a new and very sick twist and if the taser belonged to a representative of the law who also witnessed this criminal behavior, one has to wonder just how low we can go as a society. In the meantime, take these two out now.

    This makes about a much sense as having braille on the drive up ATM? You know they just have to do it but why? These people should be removed from society for their own safety.
