I have come to terms that I threatened him mentally, but physically, I expressed no harm. I was 22 at the time and was attempting to take a walk on one of the trails within the park. The person that tasered me must have been in his early to mid-50's. I will expand on your second question, but wish not to give up too much in case all of this ever comes to fruition.
It started out as a bad day for me. The only thing I wanted was to clear my my mind and body by taking a hike. I passed the Ranger on a straight stretch on my ascent to the top of a mountain. I noticed the speed limit signs going on my journey to the summit, and I would swear that I was going that speed. I ended up at the summit and parked my vehicle. I then began eating a meal I had prepared before I began my hike. After about 2 minutes of eating, there was a knock on my window and there was the ranger standing there. He proclaimed for me to roll my window down, but as I had power windows, I expressed that I needed to open my door. As I recall, he came off as demanding when he told me to open my door instead. Some verbatim unfolded and he asked for my license and registration (I had no warrants or convictions). He went back to his vehicle and I continued to eat my lunch un-phased. After 10 minutes and no word from the ranger, I grew impatient. I proceeded to "pop" my trunk and exited the vehicle. I went to my trunk and retrieved several bottles of water for my hike. I then headed for the trail, assuming that if ticketed that the ranger would leave a ticket in my wiper blade. I assumed wrong. Things went from bad to worse at that point, but that was nowhere near the point I was tasered. This was only 1/5th of the story. It is too much for me to type and I'm sure too much for people to want to read.
I have never had any problems with the law. And to be stunned over the incident did not make sense to me. I did not understand what I had done wrong. I feel that it was man vs. man at that time and to assert his dominance, he proceeded to shock me. His whole demeanor changed after he had control. The reason he did it was because I refused to sign the speeding and disorderly conduct waivers he presented. He could have tossed them down and said "You have been served", right? No. He proceeded to attempt to tackle me. I didn't resist the tackle, but he did not have the strength to bring it to full fruition and eventually let go. That's when he pulled the stun gun out. Without provocation or warning and my back turned to him, he shot me with the 2 prong device. As for emotional damages? I started drinking. Heavily. A sign of my own weakness, but it was my way of coping at the time. Not a month later I already had a DUI and had completely cut off my friends and family completely.
I am not looking for a hand out. I don't want to ruin his life because I blame him for damaging mine. This was just an option that came to mind. That is why I am seeking advice and I appreciate all of the input you have to offer.
