In ...Its been happening a lot in my area actually. In my hometown, some skater punks got tased. At my college alma mater someone got tased for something I can't even remember. And I think there was some cop show where a belligerent older lady got tased? In all of those cases people came down pretty hard on the cops for use of excessive force. But I have a hard time getting too worked up about it, because like you said, in the 70s you could have gotten shot in the back. None of these people are the next Rodney King, you know?<br /><br />In conclusion, my opinion is a resounding...meh.

Bu...Whether it was right or not, I don't know.<br /><br />But watching someone get tased is ALWAYS good entertainment.<br /><br />Oh, and I wish someone would come up to me in the streets and honk my breasts. I mean, how could I be mad about that?Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08045936037411000349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6740538823923443635.post-37326408662897260942010-05-05T08:08:38.773-07:002010-05-05T08:08:38.773-07:00Prepare yourself...

I'm giving you a legit answer here.<br /><br />I applaud the officer for what he did. it was one of many correct/proper decisions that he could've made in this situation. They could've chased the kid for a few more minutes, which probably would've ended in a tackle, in which the kid and the tackler could both potentially get injured. They could've (as you mentioned) whipped his legs w/ a baton, possibly causing serious damage. Po-po could've pulled out the pistol and scared the living shit out of the kid, but everyone knows you don't point the gun if you don't have the intention of killing the person on the other end of the barrel.<br /><br />Instead, the officer used this technology that not a lot of people had been witness to before, the taser. He gave the kid opportunities to stop on his own, and then said "fuck it" and took him out.<br /><br />Excessive? Perhaps. But it's not like the kid faceplanted. You can clearly see from the replays that as he topples, he's able to reach out his left arm and brace his fall. The officer, once certain that the kid was staying down, let off the juice button, and within a matter of seconds, the kid was restrained, on his feet, and being escorted off.<br /><br />A couple points:<br />1) Given all of the "possible" solutions, I feel that this was the best one. Prevented others from getting injured, and stopped the incident right in its tracks.<br />2) When you're trespassing on a baseball field, with players that get paid millions of dollars... you don't take chances. This should be the case with everyone (and their property), but it's not. Oh well.<br />3) As a huge sports fan, I know a handful of professional athletes at a somewhat-personal level. Completely across the board, I heard this: "That kid's just lucky we didn't get our hands on him." They don't take kindly to people intruding on the game. Remember Ron Artest?<br /><br />Kudos to the officer for having the balls to do this. 100% correct in his judgement and handling of the situation.Nic Lakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07956542909920145824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6740538823923443635.post-76300019186760512082010-05-05T06:25:09.332-07:002010-05-05T06:25:09.332-07:00Tasing will be the swing topic in the 2012 preside...Tasing will be the swing topic in the 2012 presidential election.Yukonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04121943915560174905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6740538823923443635.post-3514373904163236442010-05-05T06:10:14.835-07:002010-05-05T06:10:14.835-07:00Stay classy Philly.
