Jonathan Miller, a black man, was tased Thursday evening in Prairie View, Texas after some of his guests were questioned in front of his home about drug activity. It's not clear what happened or why the officers were at his house but for some reason the officers decided at some point to arrest Miller. Miller, who currently serves as a Councilperson for the town, passively refused to put his hands behind his back, saying



Officer, please do not put your hands on me!" Miller, 26, begs at one point in the video. "I live here.

Okay, he's going to have to taser you.

To no avail. In the video the woman officer can be heard sayingAnd immediately thereafter, despite no threat of violence, the other officer goes ahead and tases him. Because. Compliance.

The partner of the officer who tased Miller has been identified as the same officer who came onto the Sandra Bland scene after she had been pulled over by Officer Encina and forcibly moved to the sidewalk.

There is video. It is not embeddable (yet). Perhaps it will go up on Youtube soon. You can find the video and the newspaper story here.

Here's a still from the cellphone video:

The only surprising thing about this is that neither of the officers said

"I'm going to light you up!"
