1. He patrols the area maybe because of Neighborhood Watch?!?

2. He may have been off duty, but when you are a cop, you are on duty 24/7. Even if you are off the clock.

3. If you think she did nothing wrong, check the city's ordinences. More than likely her loud cursing could be warrented as disturbing the peace.

4 She was tazered because because she kept resisting. The punch indicates she poses a possible threat. I know, I am gonna get flamed for this, but don't underestimate teenagers. They can be quite the weasles and she may go for his gun, taser, or pepperspray.

So based upon what I have read in the piece. The cop was in the right on this one.
