what a tool.

its completely obvious he was using the situation to create another one. the volume of his voice, the words he was choosing to say, the incredibly unnecessary amount of struggling and intentional refusal to cooperate.

the officers did everything they could.

and then of course, there is that screaming wail from a female in the crowd shouting, "stop! why are you doing this?!"

was it not obvious?

watch the video again. he was being a complete asshole. flailing about. shouting and yelling. all the while, all he had to do was cooperate. he was being escorted out. but the more he struggled, the more trouble he got into. the more shouting and trying to escape the police, the more they had to restrain him. and when they couldnt restrain him due to his inability to follow simple instructions from people hired to uphold the law, they followed the next course of action necessary for the situation.

i dont understand the stigma of the taser. do i need to be tased in order to fear it or feel how brutal it is to use on american civilians?

from everything i know of it, it really seems like an incredible tool to use for immediate compliance. its painful. its brief. its nonlethal. next to giving someone a terribly strong pinch or beating them with a billy club, a taser works instantly, leaves unnoticeable marks and has no long term effects.

simple. brief. effective.

so far i have found nothing to respect from the two wildly popular student tasing videos. nothing to sympathize with. no pity for the students. both videos show two students not doing the most simple of tasks: following the instructions of a police officer.

but add this to the growing arsenal of anti law enforcement propaganda. use this to run the smear campaign against officers everywhere. use these two incidents to generalize on the overuse of tasers; but not on the idiocracy of modern american youth.
