High school band director speaks out after getting shocked with stun gun by police

Johnny Mims, a band director at Minor High School in Alabama, is accusing Birmingham police of using excessive force against him after he was shocked with a stun gun three times after officers say he refused to comply with orders while they attempted to clear the field.

In an interview with ABC News’ DeMarco Morgan that aired on “Good Morning America” on Wednesday, Mims accused police of using “excessive force” in the incident that took place on Sept. 14 and said that he feared for his life.

“I didn’t deserve to be tased. I didn’t deserve to be tased, regardless of how people say it or how people feel about it. I never deserved that. I’m a good citizen,” Mims told “GMA.”
