A National Guardsman from the Bronx, New York, was allegedly tased and arrested by police for what he claims was no reason.

On the night of May 15, Calvin Moreland, 27, was driving home when he saw a police cruiser behind him. Moreland stopped to allow the vehicle to go around.

"I stopped for them to go around me. They didn't go around me, so I made a right turn," Moreland told The New York Daily News.

He continued on his way, but the car continued to follow him. So, he pulled over, and an officer got out of the car and confronted him.

"(The officer) asked me, 'What are you doing? Why don't you think you should yield to an emergency vehicle? You didn't see us behind you?' " Moreland recalled.

As officers grilled him for not doing what they wanted him to, he told police he moved out of the way for the police cruiser to pass.

"I told him my dad is a retired officer and I was a peace officer at Bellevue Hospital for two years, but he told me to step out of the car," he said.

He attempted to smooth things over but was stopped dead in his tracks. Moreland, who was still in the car, used his right hand to call his father and the left to remove the seatbelt. Then, the taser's sting went pulsating into him.

“It felt like when you get shot by a paintball, your body tenses up and you cannot move. I had to catch my breath,” Moreland said.

At this point, Moreland was forced onto the ground and handcuffed by the officer.

"He asked me, 'Do you want another round?' " said Moreland. Then, another officer searched Moreland.

Thanks to the goodwill of a neighbor, Moreland's family was alerted to his arrest. The Daily News reports police charged him with resisting arrest and obstruction of governmental administration, but prosecutors have adjourned the case for six months and will dismiss charges if he stays out of trouble.

However, this is not enough. Moreland has taken steps to initiate an internal investigation so authorities can reprimand the officers involved.

"They used physical force on me when it wasn't needed. . . . It hurts. We are supposed to be in the same brotherhood. I feel disrespected since they don't see me as a brother, just another black man in the hood," said Moreland.
