Smartypants gets Tasered

arekin says...

I definately wouldn't say that a taser is a "lazy cops" method. A taser prevents secondary targets from being affected (unlike pepper spray) and the cop in question definitely did not want to get into a wrestling match with the suspect while wearing a suit (where it would be unlikely that he would be able to control the situation). The suspect was warned and refused to back down.

As for cops in general being lazy, again I say no. I have two state police officers for friends and at lest with the Indiana state troopers the line is drawn when the possibility of injury to the officer would exceed the possibility of injury to the suspect from the taser. If its an old dude or someone who appears to have health issues they are obviously going to use more restraint than some young punk kid who will suffer some pain but will be back on his feet shortly.

I was speaking of the people above who think he should have been dispensed more pain for his behavior.

However... a taser is not simply for "detaining a suspect", although it may be used to do so. It's an extreme form of non-lethal (usually) force to be used when other means have failed or are untenable. UNCAT even classifies it as a torture device. Tasers are just another tool cops use to be lazy assholes, IMMHO, and I think it's unfortunate that they have become so ubiquitous and citizens so ignorant that they cheer for more when they see a guy get tased for merely being a jackass, which, I don't think, is against the law.

They're originally from Raper country. Tom Raper. He sells RVs in Richmond, Indiana. Going or coming, the roadways are plastered with his signs, "You're in Raper country, now!" It's a little intimidating.

The Terrible Truth 'Star Wars' Fans Can't Admit

swedishfriend says...

Star Wars is good because it feels like an Indiana Jones film. Funny interactions with plenty of adventure. The Ewoks fit right in to the feeling of the other films and this feeling of adventure and fun was completely missing from the new films.

Chimps vs. Raccoon WAIT FOR IT

shagen454 says...

Monkeys are fucking dicks. I remember when I was in the Caribbean I watched these monkeys pick up a possum... and I hate possums they are ugly dumb shits... and carry it to the top of a tree several times to drop it. I was a little monkey kid and thought it was hilarious. I don't like raccoon's either but watching this makes me want to have Indiana Jones soup.
