Metro Transit Police Chief requests US Attorney's office independent review of tasing incident

WASHINGTON (FOX 5 DC) - Metro Transit Police brass are asking prosecutors to "independently review the evidence" after a transit officer was recorded tasing an unarmed man on Saturday.
Metro Transit Police Tweeted on Tuesday that Chief Ron Pavlik has requested that the U.S. Attorney's office look into the U Street Metro Station incident, in which 29-year-old Tapiwa Musonza was tased and arrested.
On Monday, prosecutors indicated that Musonza won't be charged with a crime, and that he had been released from custody.
Metro police said on Sunday that Musonza provoked the officer by taking "an aggressive stance with a balled fist." They have not identified the officer.
Police say officers initially responded Saturday to a report of boys assaulting commuters with sticks on the station platform.
