Drunken man tased after rampage, report says
The driver did everything he could to evade arrest after a series of crashes in rural east Seminole County, including hitting a firefighter, spitting on a paramedic and kicking a nurse, deputies say.

And before that, while he was being strapped into a stretcher, he threatened to wipe out the deputy's family.
"I'm going to kill you, your wife, and you will never see your daughter again," he said, according to a report.

It all comes down to police allowing stereotypes to affect their judgment.
