    Indeed I hate it when weapons randomly pop in to the raised hands of an unarmed women.

    Jeez where do these sympathizers come from :eek::eek::eek:

    I hate Tazers. The police officer should have called for backup.

    Before Tazers, cops had to decide whether they would use force or not. Tazers seem to have removed this decision making process, as they are deemed "non lethal" and frequently become the weapon of FIRST resort.

    This is not how a free society functions, where a citizen responds to an emergency on their phone, and then ends up getting tazered.

    The definition of resisting arrest needs to be reviewed. Too much police brutality these days. But then with a federal government that endorses extraordinary rendition, maybe we as a society have moved to the point where using force on citizens preemptively is an acceptable next rung to fascism.

    Bogart is ok. I don't agree with him on the terrorism issue, but he is far from being a sheep, a neocon or a shill. He's a very intelligent guy with his own, independently formed opinions.

    I agree.

    I don't agree with much of what he says, but I don't need to agree with someone to respect them ;)

    How about if a drunk cop gets in your face in a bar and you taser him :D

    It's non lethal so it's ok

    I'd rather punch him :D

    But yeah, something tells me if you used one on a cop who deserved it, off duty you'd be in for a world of hurt.

    You guys ever watch Bill Maher? We need a set of NEW RULES. Dr. Paul gave me this idea.

    Anyone who thinks that waterboarding is not torture, or is running for President and will not confirm their position on it, should undergo waterboarding and report back.

    And any cop who carries a taser should be tasered in training, so they understand the consequence of using it.

    No you can't. And since you can't seem to manage doing anything these days but follow people around and play games that only you seem to find amusing (tee hee...tee hee...look, mum, I wrote a bad word! Ain't I special? Mum?), ever thought of taking your self-pleasuring private?

    I've never been banned fella even though people like GT and Mia and the rest of the "crazy gang" have been trying to get me banned for one and a half years now. [​IMG]

    I do suffer from the occasional slip of the tongue though. :)

    This is true. The same, in its day, for the PR-24. From my experience, unfortunately, a lot of it comes down to poor training, and a lot of that comes down to the dearth of dollars allotted to it. Cops, like all of us, go to instinctive or baseline behavior under an exigent circumstance. If you have been properly trained, you do not reach for the taser or baton as a knee-jerk reaction. If all you've been handed is a baton, or a taser, this is what you go to, particularly when amped (as you are when the shit hits the fan).

    I've taught cops tactical defense, including the Ojibwa tribal police force. The latter gets a couple weeks watching movies, at best, and almost zero time in practical training. In a riot years ago, way out of their ability to handle it, what do you think was the most common action on the part of the cops? It wasn't talk, guaranteed.

    I could have put that woman on the ground without injuring her and without using a taser. Its called 3 weeks of martial arts if that much. A few self defense courses are enough to learn how to put someone on the ground. And I am very out of shape. Pay the cops more, have less of them, and train them better.

    The women hadn't commited any crime. She was making a legal purchase and forgot her credit card. The problem started when the clerk called the police and reported that he believed that she was using a stolen card.

    "In a video, Beeland is seen backing away and avoiding Wright, then crumpling to the ground after being hit with the Taser."

    Who care what you write is the correct question?
