I suffered a temper tantrum from a toddler from midnight to 1 a.m. this morning. Bad analogy Cyn. Granted, John Kerry had little or nothing to do with it, but it's still a sucky analogy as I try to keep my eyes open.
It was 5 on 1. The taser wasn't necessary. No one was being threatened. There was no threat of force from the detainee. He simply wasn't complying with their orders. If he'd had a knife or a gun, I'd have a much different stance, but when the manufacturer touts the product as an alternative to a gun, then I think the police have overstepped their bounds. They could have carried him out. They could have drug him out.
