I say we taser the bastards back

[NightWatcher]

The next time that a cop walks up to you while you are minding your own business in a public place and tells you to 'move along', I say you discreetly blast him with a few thousand votes right in the doughnut gut. If tasers are so 'non lethal' they really shouldnt mind it, should they?


(note to mods: this is :sarcasm: to illustrate that tasers are not just a friendly pat on the back. this is not an avocation of violence)

1. I am as pissed off. Tasers=socially accepted torture

3. So what tools should our police officers be allowed to use to defend themselves?

4. I'd rather take my chances being tasered than being shot 50 times...

by over-excited cops because I put my hand in my pocket or turned around too fast.

2. Actually, you are advocating violence against cops.

The next time you create a scene and then resist your inevitable arrest, expect the worst. You'll deserve it.

5. Every cop that carries a Taser

has actually been tasered, it's part of the training and supposed to let them know just what it's like.

For the record, it's the weirdest sensation I've ever experienced. Not really pain but truly uncomfortable and it seemed to last a lot longer than the 4 or 5 seconds it was really on.

6. WAS the actor at Kerry's appearance actually tasered?

All we have is audio of this guy hysterically screaming "don't taser me!"

7. Looked to me he went there...........

Just to start this shit,After 20 times being asked to cool it. This asshole knew what he was doing.

8. WHAT???????????????????????

Since when is speaking your mind in public forum
against the law?

10. you can hear the taser going off

plus if five cops cant control a subject without zapping him, maybe they should change profession

9. looks like the police brutality defense squad is out in force this morning...

To all of you - it is not the weapon being used and no one has said that cops cannot defend themselves.

It is the circumstances in which any weapon is used and the police prediliction for UNNECESSARY violence that pisses people off.

11. You know, I've managed to live my whole life without being Tasered.

I can't see this as being a big societal problem.
