Intense IHOP Brawl SHUT DOWN By Taser-Wielding Officer [WATCH]
Things can get heated at late night restaurant establishments, if last year’s Denny’s story was any indication. While a brawl isn’t anything too unusual, especially in Florida, what’s unique about this video is how oneĀ police sergeantĀ responded to the call in this viral video, reports BroBible.
In the first couple minutes, officers try with little success to calm the restaurant crowd after a handful of women were fighting. Around the 2:20 mark,Ā another officer storms the restaurant and brings everyone to the ground with the threat of a taser and some necessary force.
Though some might consider his approach aggressive, Police tactics expert David Gossi points out that he used no unnecessary physical force in a situation where the police were outnumbered. Gossi did add however, according to WINK News, that the sergeant’s language was inappropriate.
Sucks for the patrons just trying to enjoy some late-night pancakes. Those new Sticky Bun Waffles are pretty damn good.
What did you think of the officer’s actions in this situation? Feel free to sound off in the comments.
