Better start paying attention to the warnings about fumes.

48 hour rule on this one.

This article has the most details I've seen since I saw that video yesterday. The incident stemmed from a potential trespass at a wildlife refuge. The only claims about how the initial contact went down (in the field) are from the guy who got tased, so we don't hear both sides of that interaction... what I took note of is the gas station was 20 minutes away. So, did the guy lead the F&W officer with lights and sirens going on a 20 minute slow speed chase for gas and a pack of smokes? Or did they coincidentally end up at the same station and the officer pick the issue back up after stewing on it? That's a big hole in the story that would speak to the officer's reaction over 'a $10 ticket'.

Officer Shortpants has zero tolerance for trespassing on public property

Yea until I hear the whole story I'll reserve my judgement instead of making my own assumptions. I'm sure there are more actual facts yet to be learned.
