When cops make mistakes, people get hurt. When cops make mistakes people can have their lives ruined. An arrest on your record can prevent you from passing a security clearance or being hired to a job, even if that arrest was erroneous. Here is a case of literal mistaken identity. The cops had the wrong guy and give him about half a second to comply to their rousting orders. When the man doesn’t immediately do exactly what they tell him to do, they taser him, throw him to the ground and cuff him. Then when they check his identification and find out it is their mistake and they had no reason to stop the man in the first place, they arrest him for resisting arrest. In what other job can you make a mistake, assault an innocent man, then charge that innocent man with a crime in an incident that occurred entirely because of your mistake?
