Re: F**k the Police - NWA

Why does he need to put distance between him and the officers maybe because he was their to prove a point. to create the attention he wanted? Does that mean he should be tasered? No. So the next time we see someone jump on to the football field to streak should he be tasered? If they handled it like this situation they would have been fine.

They should have already known he was a prankster as soon as he got on the mic. He was being rude and being a jackass but that doesnt mean he should be tasered. He did not say nothing or give any physical indication of committing physical harm. I see you avoid this part.

Here is the fact that you keeps missing

he was already in a subdued position before being tasered. He was pinned to the ground by what looked like 3-4 officers with one officer being at least twice the size and weight of the person in question. 2 officer were holding down his upper body and head, as they should have been trained while the 3 officer applies the handcuffs. That was the tactic they used before they had tasers. And it should have been done here. No need for the taser to be involved.

It kind of has a some reminance of Rodney king? Saying rodney king was not corporating with police officers so they decide to what hit him 14 -18 time with a night stick. except in this case there were 5 officers not 3, more context as to how the person was taken into custody was provided, and they used a taser not a night stick. And dont argue about whether or not a night stick or taser is better to use. thats not the point. The point is whether these tools needed to be implement and the answer is no. Althought I have taught how to use a night stick to subdue (execute some form of a pin, or leverage hold) people without actually hitting them so, there is another option.
