When people do that, I give 'em one of these.

The goal is to draw him as grotesque as possible. Some good techniques are mold, dark spots, bad teeth, red bursting eyes, lots of hair..

Stuff.

Alright, here's the point:
The police shouldn't even have used the fucking stun gun in the first place. He had no weapon, and wasn't really doing much besides yelling to let go of him, and that he would leave. If you really aren't sure, then throw him onto the ground and search him/drag him out. Stun guns are used when someone is approaching you with a weapon, or intent to harm. They used the driving feature, but you're not supposed to fucking hold it there. Notice the "drive" part. It's meant to get someone to go in the other direction, away from the shock. After being shocked for 5-10 seconds, no shit you can't get up. After the first time, it was just stupid to taze him with that many fucking people watching and recording. And after they drag him out, they taze him more (while handcuffed) and then threaten to taze someone who asks for their badge numbers? Who the fuck do these cops think they are anyways? The thought police from 1984?

It's wrong what the police did. They could have handled it much better, not only so that less physical harm is done, but also so that politically no harm is done. But they don't think things through enough obviously. They're trained on how to handle people like that, and tazing is a last resort.

The police force is to be respected in society and must learn more common sense. People need to be able to look up to the authorities. This incident is one that undermines that idea. It's analogous to what would happen if all of the moderators of a forum began flaming all of the members. It just doesn't set a good example, doesn't look good, and creates problems.

The police should have handled this one differently. The fact that all of you guys and myself just read an article like this...we should never have to read something like this.

The point is,
the Tazer wasn't necessary the first time, it wasn't necessary the second time, it wasn't necessary any other time, the threats weren't necessary, and these cops need to be fired and fined.

If anyone has any news as to what happens next, post it. I mean the youtube video has like 30 thousand views, it's on all 3 forums that I frequent with 5+ pages each, people on digg are calling and mailing congressmen/reps/govs/admins/chief of police, something has to happen.
