Funnay. Another 'Don't Taze Me Bro Episode'. What makes people ignore cops?

^ Make more sense.

Drama Queen

I believe that tasers are way too commonly used. The victim had in reality done nothing wrong. She stepped outside to talk to her husband regarding some bad news about their son. Sure she was being verbally combative with the officer, but that doesn't mean she should be tased. I hope the city gets sued and the officer disciplined or fired.

^ you are right, this is the fourth or fifth tazer story I have heard in a few months, one was in a wheelchair * I Think* . I am also surprised at how folks start to argue with these trigger happy folks. Bad situation.

If you fail to recognize that someone with a badge and a G.E.D. is your superior, perhaps you deserve to be tazered.

Or we could start firing cops who use tasers in situations that don't involve violence.

Uncle Jimbo,'It's commin' right at us!'( South Park's satire about hunting out of season), Oh wait, we're always in season!
Cops like to excerpt their authority, (respect mah athoritah!), it gives them that ego-boost that they so desperately crave,what with most of them having been beaten or molested in their formulative years,M'kay?

Pigs.

Some police departments are putting small cameras on their tazers....go one step further and make cops videotape all their interactions with the public. RECORDING=HESITATION=LESS LITIGATION

^Not a bad idea, that. God knows the state tracks tons of information on the average citizen.

Clearly, the tazer is a useful precursor to the use of deadly force. However, it appears headed towards becoming 'an easy way out' of confrontations that, years ago, might have required a bit more diplomacy, tact, or use of other forms of physical restraint.

We know tazers can kill, and do kill, often enough that they should require a bit more justification than a raised voice to be used on someone. With the ease involved in using a tazer, this tool can become a way for police to go Rodney King on people in a 'civil' and less openly horrifying manner. High tech lynching indeed!
