I don't know..I think if the kid has something that can harm himself or others, then fine...if he was just talking shit...not fine...

please note: I've worked in group homes and a wilderness camp many moons ago...a crazy kid is just as dangerous, if not more dangerous than a adult...especially if they have a weapon...

I'll give you mmore shit to blow your mind later

i dont have a problem with tasering a guy in cuffs. if he is resisting its possibly safer (and legally wise) to zap him than to drag him out, creating a higher likelyhood of injury to himself. its a liability issue. If they broke the guy's arm dragging him out he could have a stronger case to sue.

Tasers are making cops lazy and unable to complete their jobs effectively, in the manner that is both efficient and satisfactory to the public.

some of the stuff listed at this website a direct example of what I said above.

http://www.afn.org/~iguana/archives/2005_04/20050402.html


* A man booked into the jail on an outstanding traffic warrant was allegedly assaulted and subjected to an "overly invasive bodily search" and repeatedly called a "faggot." He was allegedly tasered while he was prostrate and in handcuffs.

* A woman booked into the jail in March 2003 was placed in a cell by herself in a distraught condition. A jail employee said he would taser her if she did not be quiet and calm herself. It is alleged that, while she was attempting to calm down, two guards entered her cell and one attached two taser clips to her shirt in the chest region; the other guard then activated the taser gun. According to the lawsuit, she suffered "severe burns and permanent scars to her chest and stomach" as a result of being tasered.

That's just a couple of them.

i called the campus police and yelled at them. I called them pigs and said they should be fired.

They tasered a goddamn 21 year old!

I mean jesus christ!

SPEEDY MCCREADY

the cops should have turned around and tasered John Kerrys dumbass too...............

hehehehe............

gimmesometruth27

when did it become ok to arrest and taser someone for being annoying??

let me see, one unarmed 21 yr old kid holding a book, vs. 4 cops armed with guns and tasers....who's gonna win that one?

the general attitude around here and in this country seems to be "what the hell, if its not happening to me then its ok.."

i am apalled that people believe that this is ok and that it is not an abuse of power or an infringement on this kids rights. and fucking kerry did nothing to stop it. it is your right and duty to question senators.

i find it mildly ironic that kerry, who so famously used this same freedom of speech while addressing congress during the viet nam war, whose freedom of speech was protected at that time, did not extend that same right to this kid. he could have said something from the podium or stepped in to stop it from escalating as far as it did.

wtf is wrong with the police lately?

I am under the impression that few people actually watched the video of what happened. The fool needed to be tased--idiot was bugging out and creating an unnecessary scene (which was way over the top if you really watch it). The cops warned him and he wouldn't calm down, he wasn't even completely handcuffed it looked like.

musicismylife78

he was unarmed. There were 4 officers with mace, guns, billyclubs, and tasers.

Every single goddamn thing like this always plays out this way: police and their supporters act like the police HAD to act.

The kid was unarmed. Simple facts people.

Its gross no one did a goddamn thing too.

how many people were actually at the forum there? Hundreds? Why didnt some of them start walking up to the police and demanding to know what was going on?

Its funny how people sat back and did nothing while someone was being tasered!

The police had a choice. React or not react. They chose to react violently.

I hate cops. They are sick. And this is an illustration of why I hate them.

Their entire existance is brutal.

i took a college course with one of the most reknowed and important socialist thinkers of our time- John Bellamy Foster.

His son was friends with a high school kid who was killed by police.

My professor said this: If my house was broken into, i would let the burgular kill me before I called the police"

I agree.

Police are monsters.

Its the only profession where you can kill people, and not be punished.

"Killing and brutalizing citizens daily" should be their motto

A bunch of strong big men! They murder a black man over a WALLET people!

Did the people who beat rodney king really need to beat him?

Police are pigs.

I am glad i gave florida police a call. They deserve to be called what they really are. They arent heroes. they are killers.

Wow they are so cool, they tasered an unarmed man! Wow daddy I want to be a police officer!

so, if someone perceives you as "bugging out", being "unnecessary" and acting "way over the top", you'd be ok with them tasing you...

If I was acting like that tard then I'd deserve it. It could've been a simple procedure--him walking calmly outside with the police. But no, he starts shouting and pulling away from the police for at least a minute. We're not talking something like him trying it for a second and they stung him. He was obviously looking for attention. And he's probably gonna try and twist it to make the cops look like they were abusing their power. If I were one of those cops I'd have tased him too. It obviously didn't scar him for life because he recovered before he was out the door.

Maybe if his stupid ass would've shut the fuck up for three seconds they could've told him why he was being detained.

It could have been a simple procedure of letting him listen to Kerry's response.

He didn't want to hear Kerry's response. Kerry tried twice to answer but the bitch kept yelling and whining.

He totally brought it on himself. It was completely staged. Some of you are so blind in your hatred of 'The Man' that you can't see when you're being taken for a ride.
