don't sweat it cyn: i can take the heat. you take enough shit around here and weather the storm well enough - a little combative discourse will not make this little pig go 'wee wee wee' all the way home.
in reference to the above situation - for me it would depend. if they had intel that an armed suspect matching this guy's appearance was in the area, and he refused to remove his hand from his jacket...i can see that use of the taser, i think. much better than a shoot first, ask question later involving a handgun.
i don't think anyone thought the fool in the first link with the op was about to start anything violent. so that's a stretch to me.
i also wonder what this will do for the reputation of the police themselves. for instance, i live down in good ole south carolina. i can see bad things happening around here if the wrong person was shocked for 'noncompliance' we have a state strongly known for 'state's rights' and 'owning a shitload of guns'. i can see campus cops getting the shit kicked out of them, quite frankly. what if that crowd at the UF thing HAD taken a case of the ass over this...which i think could have easily happened. what if this kid had a bunch of friends in the crowd?
