Firefighter Deserved Tazing

So a firefighter riding a bike in Evansville waved at a cop and was thrown to the ground and handcuffed.  It turned out he was a youth minister and a member of the local fire department and was just being friendly.  However, only the most cynical rabble rousers are going to suggest that his treatment was because he was black.  That's just ridiculous. Waving is a very threatening gesture.  Waving at a COP, like maybe you're friendly or something is very stupid.  I'm surprised the guy didn't get tazed.  You can't just run around waving at people.  This has nothing to do with race.  I'm sure a white man on a bike waving at a cop would have gotten exactly the same treatment.  We are, after all, past all that.
