Massey : Second of all, we are going to go look at where the 40 mph sign is Gardner: Well... you are going to sign this first Massey: No, I am not. I am not signing anything, officer. Gardner: OK. Up, out of the car. Under Utah law, one must sign a citation to acknowledge receipt, whether or not one protests its validity or else face arrest.%DIFDELCMD < %DIFDELCMD < %%% Massey, a 28-year-old telephone company employee, appears in the video to suggest that he and the officer  walk back to the nearby traffic sign. Trooper Gardner then orders Massey, who is still pointing at the sign, to stop and then draws his taser at Massey. Massey , with his right thumb hooked in his trouser pocket, turns and begins to walk back toward his vehicle, turning his head toward Gardner, who is now behind Massey. Massey says, "what the heck are you doing?" and Gardner orders him to "turn around and put your hands behind your back." Massey does not and replies, "what the heck is wrong with you?" A moment later , Gardner fires his taser. Allegedly, Gardner triggers the electrodes a second time while Massey is on the ground, but this is not entirely clear from the video. Massey's wife emerges from the vehicle, clearly distraught, but Gardner orders her to return to the vehicle under threat of "going to jail, too." Gardner secures Massey in his squad car and then jokes with a backup officer that Massey "decided to take a ride with the Taser". Massey filed a complaint against the UHP and obtained the video footage, which was recorded from the trooper's vehicle, in a public records request under the process of discovery. On November 19, Massey posted the video on YouTube, when he felt that the UHP's internal investigation was not progressing. "There's been no response, no action, no notifying us 'Hey, we're looking at this'," Massey told Vernal Express. "To us it seems like they're stonewalling it; trying to brush it under the rug so that nothing would happen." The posting on YouTube encourages people to call the UHP and express their displeasure. However, many have posted online death-threats against the trooper. This is an unintended consequence, says Massey. "I wish people would have some common decency every once in awhile," he said in an interview with Fox on Monday. "When I posted the video it wasn't to vilify the guy, demean him or destroy him, and that's one of the things I hate about this." "I wish people would realize and think about this: Trooper Gardner is a real person, he's got a real family. Real lives are being affected," he added   .
