Fan Tasered. What do you think?

Corkey · 05-05-2010, 12:44 PM

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.

I just had to bring this up again..

weatherboi · 05-05-2010, 05:43 PM

did they even have tasers back then??

i bet if they did it was like the cell phone evolution and they were probably too heavy to carry!!!

i am seriously trying to address the double standard thing but are there any recent examples...at like a sporting/public event??

In the main, I think people get a little too worked up about sports and (NASCAR) non-sports. They get all tanked up on liquor, smack and nitrates and the next thing you know, they think they are Wilt Chamberlain or Babe Ruth or whatever and they are harshing (evidently) everyone elses mellow.

I feel you are saying that ALLLLLLLLLLLLL sports fans partake in such deeds.. Isn't that stereotyping

There better not be any disruptions of A2A at game night.

Off duty cops taking pot shots from the stands? No thanks. Make the idiots pay with stiff fines and/or tons of hours of community service or something- give them lasting pain instead of a temporary zap.

Yeah the trigger happy cops in Portland (almost always aimed at black people) make tasers look tame.

Geez Snowy, my admiration for you just grew even bigger!!! Jack Lambert is one of my childhood idols. Sniff, sniff, the thought of him manhandling people brings a tear to my eyes. I heard he's a forest ranger now. I can see him sitting in the woods far away from people rather than destroying them.

Apocalipstic · 05-05-2010, 02:48 PM

Y'all get pretty worked up about your sports I see.

and yes, NASCAR is a sport.

There was a case a couple of years ago where an Eastern European immigrant arrived at a western Canadian airport and for some reason there was no there to greet him. After several hours of wandering around the airport, not being able to find anyone who could communicate with him, and unable to find the people who were supposed to meet him, he was becoming increasingly agitated. At some point in time airport security was called - this would be the R.C.M.P. Now, I'm just too lazy to go search CBC archives to find it, but airport video clearly showed that the officers involved made NO attempt to communicate with the man. They simply approached him and repeatedly tasered him. Not so funny, huh? What's even LESS funny is that the man died. Yup. It can happen. He had no medical conditions that complicated the mattter - tasers can actually do that at times. They can kill people. The man was NOT considered to be a threat to ANYONE. He was just upset.

Welcome to Canada......ZAP!

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?

Tasers can be deadly.
