In today's 'See Something, Say Something' society, doing the 'pee pee dance' while waiting for a bus is grounds for police action โ at least that's what a woman in Austin thought when she called the cops on a dancing man. Unfortunately, for the dancing man, police would also perceive his harmless behavior as a threat and move to neutralize it.
This latest instance of ridiculous police brutality was captured on video Tuesday outside of an Austin restaurant. As the video begins, a nicely dressed man was standing at a bus stop doing a bit of a sidestep dance in place. The officer responding to the fearful woman's 911 call perceived this dance as a potentially dangerous act.
The dancing man appeared to have a mental imbalance and may have flipped the bird at someone driving by. According to witnesses at the scene, the man may have had "some kind of disorder" and a "mental imbalance of some kind." However, this was not grounds for what happened next.
In the video, we see the man doing nothing other than dancing when the officer approaches him as if he's holding a child hostage. Within just a few moments the officer has his taser drawn, aiming it at the man's head.
When the bus shows up, the man attempts to get on it, as it appears that was his intention the entire time. However, the cop would not have it. As the man attempted to walk toward the bus, the cop waved it on.
