"This tasing incident has become a decimation of character. Whether the police were wrong or Travis was wrong is really for none of us to decide. What angers me the most is the character smearing that is going on. You cannot judge a man by one video and an article that was clearly written in favor of the police department. People should think before they speak such harsh words about a person and a ...situation they know very little about.
There is no law against going out for your 20 year reunion. The group was even responsible enough to have a designated drive. And you cannot judge a person by the way they respond to an attack while under the influence of alcohol and while being tased and beaten. Like Kim Meehan-Roulst said, you have that many volts running through you and see what comes out of your mouth…
If you read what the Leader and Peninsula Daily news are printing and you know Travis personally, I think you will agree that they are attacking this man’s character.
These are Travis's words regarding his recent tasing incident with the PT police department. “What's more disturbing to me is the character assassination going on. Stoked for those that are telling it straight! THANK YOU!!!!”
Here is what I know of Travis’s Character:
He has an awesome work ethic and a drive to excel. He has dreams and desires and he is willing to reach and stretch for them. He will not stand by while someone else is in need. He is kind-hearted, loving, brave and caring. He is extremely generous with his time and money. He is sure of himself and what he stands for. He is calm in spirit, content, happy, honest, patient and sensitive. He is trustworthy.
He stands firm on his beliefs and finds no shame in speaking about them. He unconditionally loves and encourages his children and gives them the support they need to excel. You may say this looks nothing like the man in the video or the man described in the papers. And that is my point!!!! His Character has been attacked and he has been made out to be a hardened criminal and trouble maker, which he is not.
If you know Travis Moegling, please post on one of the forums. Regardless of what you think of the tasing, give your testament as to his character. Travis needs some character witnesses on there and who better to give those than his friends and family that have known him for years.
