A DoorDash driver's video shows a police officer firing his stun gun at the delivery man during a traffic stop after he said the officer's behavior made him feel unsafe.
In this image made from video provided by Delane Gordon, a police officer in Collegedale, Tenn., is seen before he fires a stun gun at Gordon on Thursday, March 10, 2022. Gordon, a food delivery driver, began recording his traffic stop for speeding and asked to see the officer's supervisor. Gordon's attorney, Ryan Wheeler, says Gordon is facing additional charges of resisting arrest and obstruction of justice. Police have so far not identified the officer.
“Sir, I feel uncomfortable, please get your supervisor," Gordon pleads, at which point Driskill holsters the Taser and grabs him with both hands, trying to pull him down through the open door. “I don’t give a what you feel like. I said get out,” the officer says.The officer then steps back and fires his stun gun. “Oh my God, that’s not lawful sir. That’s not lawful," Gordon says after crying out as he felt the jolt.
"The way that officers interpret resistance, the way that officers interpret not listening or following their commands, shapes how they then proceed throughout the interaction, where oftentimes instead of continuing in a conversation, they escalate it with force,” Ray said. The affidavit also describes what happened after Gordon's video ends. The officer wrote that Gordon again refused to leave his car, this time after being stun gunned, and that once the 28-year-old did get out, Driskill held him to the ground and handcuffed him behind his back.
