A South Carolina man ends up in the hospital after grabbing a police officer's taser during a fight with the cop.

Krishmer Bessent was wanted on an assault charge. When an Horry County Police Officer found him just after midnight Monday, Bessent elbowed him in the face in a failed attempt to get away. A struggle ensued during which Bessent grabbed the officer's taser. But he was not able to fire it before backup units arrived and Bessent was arrested.

Both the officer and Bessent were taken to Seacoast Hospital for treatment and released.

The case is still under investigation.

Ugh. How many of these clueless people do we have to hear rant about cops just being in it for the money. Here is a good tip. Why don’t you research what starting pay is compare it to the cost of living and see how much these guys are really in it for the money. It is not like they get commission for each arrest or ticket they write. Although that would be nice.

Yep,poor pitiful thug linley. Thanks to the idiot sows and cows, my pig keeps food on the table. Glad to know they are appreciated! Now let me go buy a beach house with that fat paycheck.lol

Thank you Jamie,I thought it might be him but when I assume something I sometimes am left with a silly grin on my face.By the way do you have any Idea of what’s wrong when I go the weather portion and click on The probability of a hurricane hit and all I get is a pop up for PET MD and Breedopedia!Get’s right pass the medium setting for pop up blocker and I never see the info.If I set the pop up blocker to Max,I get nothing then too.

yes that is Krishmer Bessent in the photo

I guess we’re all assuming that’s Bessent in the photo by the story and not the officer that was elbowed in the face.Course the shirt does look to be orange colored,but,what if?
ohh

All I can say is there was a better way for the officer to handle the situation. 9 times out of 10 the suspect was probably intoxicated so why did the pig have to use so much force to take him in. He looks like a fairly small guy. I bet the cop was alot bigger than he was..I don’t trust them period! Most cops are there for a paycheck, lets keep it real. They don’t care about protecting and serving the public it’s just job policy. lol..

BB-why do you continue to ask redundant questions? Calling for back up, blah, blah-has already been answered.If you don’t like MY explanation, why not consider the other 3 or 4 folks on here that have given different scenarios too. But you want to continue to defend a known criminal, accuse and hang an officer, without having ALL the story, or even a clue as to what LE goes through. Is that not intentional inciting? Trolling… Why do you continue to twist what is said-did I say me and a group of psych nurses were sitting around talking about you. I really pity you. It’s scary in the darkness, isn’t it? smason-you are completely right-there are certain people who should have been gone LONG ago. I would suggest you look at the history of this forum board and see where the problem lies.

you should have the boots put to you if you try and fight a cop. punch a cop in the face and get yours kicked in. sounds fair to me. why do we not try and beat the cops up? ohhh yea, they will kick your back side in. works for me. not why do we fight with cops? so i can get away or sue them if i lose the fight. you have rights use them. you punch a cop you have the right to get beat like a redheaded step child.

Looking at the picture it seems undue force might have been used,but I haven’t seen the officer yet and it might have been called for.The minimum amount of force should always be used unless of course you just had a round with your spouse or partner or the IRS is auditing your return the next day.grin

make sence to me bob. you know he likes the bar. go by and see if you can pick him up. you see him. call it in. make the stop. he tries to go across the ditch to get away after tring to cuff him you see you going to have a fight and go for your tazer. what so hard about that? you have to beat the mud out of the guy before he gets you. the guy gets taken down hard for not putting his hands up. to dam bad for him. he is walking down the street can’t wait for back up before is is gone. now if you want to say the guy gave up with out a fight and did everything the cop said and still got kicked? how do you see it going down bob? what do you see as a problem?? what was wrong??
