Officer Michael Schneider pulled a family over for a traffic stop. He asked for not the driver's ID, but the front passenger's ID. Passenger, Johnny Wheatcroft asked why he needed his ID (Reminder: He was not driving.) Schneider threatened to take him in for fingerprints if he did not provide an ID. Wheatcroft reached to the center console and his backpack to get his ID which then led to a horrific series of violent assault by Officer Michael Schneider. Johnny Wheatcroft can be seen being compliant and not resisting throughout the whole video. 

Officer Michael Schneider can be seen unrightfully tasing the man in the video, Johnny Wheatcroft, for a total of 11 times at a traffic stop. Schneider ripped Wheatcroft out of the car, with his arm stuck and tangled in the seatbelt, and began to tase him with no reason, as Wheatcroft was compliant the whole time. He continued to tase him even while in handcuffs, in front of Wheatcroft's 11 and 6-year-old sons. To help him untangle from the seatbelt while Wheatcroft was in handcuffs, his son lifts the seatbelt off of him, in which Schneider then begins to tell the eleven-year-old boy to stand in front of the car. They took his wife out of the car as well after she tried to help her husband's head out of the entanglement of the seatbelt. They forced her out of the car, and put her in handcuffs. Officers can be seen pushing her head, and telling her to "shut the fuck up." Michael Schneider tases the man in the video on his testicles, and on his penis. He also kicks the citizen twice in the groin while he was handcuffed. 

Michael Schneider STILL works for the Glendale Police Department. This man should be fired immediately, and then tried for assault. Glendale Police Department should be held accountable, as they continue to let this man work for them after such terrible and evil actions.
