Tasering at Phillies Game--Fair or Extreme?

How long you been on these boards, Moddy?

OF COURSE there are tons of people here who think he shouldn't have been tasered... abuse of power, kid did no harm, tasers kill, police suck, etc...

 

Kid did lots of harm, catch him, rough him up a bit and charge him. You can do all this without a taser if you weren't fat and out of shape.

 

Lots of harm? What harm did he do? How was anyone in the stadium actually harmed by his actions?

Not potential harm. Not irritation. Actual harm. Define how he caused anything even remotely like that.

 

You probably don't want to read the thread...

 

He was a big inconvenience to a handful of security guards. And Patrolman Donut is still trying to catch his breath.

Still, as we all know THIS WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED IF HE HAD STAYED IN HIS SEAT.

 

actually he should, the people who say it's ok to tase him, I have no problem with. It was my initial reaction as well, the more time I had to think I changed my viewpoint.

It was your ridiculous comparisons to times square, a cop getting aids, terrorists and lord knows what else that bothered some.

 

How about this, his actions were wrong and he deserves to face consequences, which IMO shouldn't include tasering.

 

Police are not trained to process a situation that way.

As a human being, you don't process it that way when adrenaline is flowing.

Watch one of those videos again and you'll see two Phillies players slowly backing away, like they're a little wary.

 

not you Moddy, Devil.

 

Don't tase them, bros!

 

So if they're only apprehending most of them how are they going to decide which ones to let go?
