[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] Actually, it bcomes assualt only [i]after[/i] he grabs the officer. Only then is the use of force warranted (or taken in this case). As to Tasers in general- people have varing reactions to them (with or without drugs/ booze in their system). Some small guys have a resistance while some big guys drop like a stone. It's not predictabe (it's also why police tasers dont have variable settings, I suppose). This guy may just be one of the thousands of dumbasses that want to provoke a confrontation with any cop that stops them. That's why the [i]police[/i] petitioned to have those cameras installed in the front of their cars- so that there is evidence that[i] they[/i] followed procedures in dealing with a arrest/ticket for court. ...of course, it's the slim minority of bad cops that get caught by their own cameras that the press tends to focus on. Ratings and all that. [QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [qb] Hurting someone unnecessarily is a-ok because in a time not now they would have got hurt more. Win! [/qb][/QUOTE]I dont think it was nnecessary: the guy did not comply with the officer, the taser did not incapacitate him right away and this was [i]after[/i] he got physical with the cop. Police (anywhere) dont take chances they dont have to. Nor should they. David, if you refer to King, then no, I dont think anything could have been confirmed at the time of his beating/arrest, but any cop knows when someone is strung out. Fuck, [i]I[/i] know, and it's not as though I have to deal with drug addicts every day (except the two potheads at work, of course). [/QB][/QUOTE]
