Wait, he was an OFF DUTY cop? What the fuck was he doing just carrying his taser around with him? Did he have his gun and his billy club, too?
I don't know much about cops (because I don't trust them, so I like to pretend they don't exist), so I don't know if they are allowed/encouraged to carry that shit around them when they are off the clock - but it strikes me as inappropriate. Especially to a freaking sporting event.

Off duty cops are allowed to carry weapons, and yes, some do take extra jobs (usually security-type) for some extra buckage.

In Maryland, the off duty cops carry their weapons with them as well. |

Frankly it is a misuse of use of force. The kid may have run around for a bit, but the cop should not have used the taser. Wait him out or run after him and tackle him, or get some back up and catch him, but taser, nope uncalled for.

Maybe if we put a taser device in both the batters box and pitchers mound, 4 hour baseball games will be a thing of the past. Just a thought.

No tasing of minors. It's a damn ball game, not Congressional hearings.

Now, if only the kid that ran out on the field thought this way too. I'd rather hold HIM responsible for HIS actions first and foremost. Why don't we do that once in a while?
