Don't Tazer Me!

[Torque]

being zapped is often the only real punishment these types of people receive.

looks good on them.... twitching like gumby.

Let's postulate that tazing was the right way to arrest him (though I disagree) and discuss a second issue: What specific arrestable offense did he commit?  He was a *******, sure, but last I heard, that wasn't a criminal offense.  If it was, most of us would be in jail.

Edit: Since when is "jac kass" w/o the space something that needs to be censored?  It's a donkey.

Much like you can't yell "FIRE" in a crowded building....this guy was interupting the event.  THUS he was infrigning on other's right to free speech.  If somone in a crowd is unruly or disruptive I think the police totally have the right to remove him from that crowd.  If he resists then he is resisting arrest/disorderly conduct.

It's funny how he's screaming "dont tazer me bro" yet still resisting and giving them every reason to taze him.  

This is a regrettable situation and could  have been prevented by this guy not being a ******* and leaving when he was told to.

I don't really see this guys freedoms being trampled on....I see everyone elses who were behaved as having there's trambled on.  This guy interupted them by being a jack bellybutton and as a result somone probably didn't get the oppurtunity to speak.  Who's looking out for that guy?

In Ohio it's a fourth degree misdemeanor.

2917.12 Disturbing a lawful meeting.

So we have come up with valid reasons for an arrest, and we are unable to come up with a better way to subdue a resisting arrestee than with the taser.  Are we done here?

Having finally watched the videos all I can say is that kid was looking for a Youtube moment and a possible talk show appearance.

He made it happen by choice.  I have little sympathy for him.

Holy crap that video is full of people who need to have "******" tatted to their foreheads. I can't really blame the police here though, since I've never tried to restrain a college blowhard. I choose to ignore them for the most part. And that's really what should have happened here. The event was over, Kerry could have just thanked everyone for coming, sat down and let had the room clear out. I mean, the killed the jackhole's mic, so it wasn't like they couldn't tell everyone to have a nice day.

I do hope that the Cop who tased him let him know that he wasn't his "bro."

He was getting more beligerent as the questions turned into a rant, he should have been kicked a few times as well as tasered at a much higher voltage.  He came looking for trouble, and in my opinion, he didn't get his full share of trouble!:aok

I find it odd how some of you omit the parts of the video that dont suit your opinion.

[john9001]

it was a Q & A forum, he tried to turn it into his own soapbox agenda.

i think his major problem is that he did not think that Kerry was liberal enough.

But you have to understand, the kid is only a journalism major, so he is not the brightest bulb on the tree.

I just watched a Youtube link. Perhaps you can help me out here... what is being omitted?

Nothing was omited from the video that I know of and thats not what I was refering too. Thought that was pretty obvious.

I've seen many guards and cops that could cuff about anyone in 2 vs 1 situation. Only PCP heads and some body builders (who are really plentiful in this constantly "growing" population of today) could give a trouble. Definitely an average school brat shouldn't be a problem.

What makes it work? They're very well trained! They got tazers too, but they hardly ever use those. It's against their ethics to use a tazer just to make it easier to cuff some skimpy idiot. Worst of all, what kind of picture would they give of themselves when having to resort to such power against an idiot? Multiple strong and trained men unable to tame an idiot? I'd be alarmed and would seriously question their ability to work in law enforcement. I don't think these guys I know would feel any better of themselves.

I'm just trying to figure out what you think is being omitted. You take a pretty broad snipe and I'm just trying to understand where you're coming from.

So, the answer is, "No".

I'm not into the profession. The guys who I know definitely could do it. If you can't do it, then you should learn the proper techniques or pay attention at the class.
