Today,

I'd say I have better things to do...

but then again i'm on the gamespot forums...

The student was NOT resisting arrest,

Tasering him was definitely an excessive use of force. The student didn't present a threat and could have been arrested and escorted (unnecessary in the first place) withouth the use of a taser (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taser#Controversies). danteswrath2000

Not resisting?? Did you even watch the video? When you pull away from an officer that places his hand on you (yes, the police are allowed to grab your arm to escort you) you are Resisting. Pulling away, he hit the tier in the "Subject Action" called "Reistant Active." This authorizes the officer to use his next level of "Officer Response" to apprehend the suspect.

Your second statement confirms one of my earlier statements. "He didn't pose a threat." So, in other words, the cop would have had to wait until this punk kid punched him in the face, maybe pulled out a pocket knife and stabbed him? He was becoming more and more beligerant at every moment. The officer reacted- using the taser brought the "Subject Action" back down to "Compliant," he did his job perfectly.

[QUOTE="RiSkyBiZ-13"]Wow, so many supporters of the cops. I am honestly suprised, that's a rare thing these days. Maybe humanity has a chance after all? You guys rock my socks.danteswrath2000

I accept the fact that cops have a difficult and demanding job. My father worked 60+ hours a week for roughly 35k/year simply because he wanted to help people. He's been shot at, spit on, pissed on, beat up- and then I see our generation always pointing the finger at the cops, always assuming the police were in the wrong. Cop hating is the cool thing now, and it makes me sick.

No, I don't BLINDLY follow cops, I understand that there are bad seeds in every organization- including the police. I won't touch the Rodney King discussion anymore, the cops were dealt with and King won a load of money in his lawsuit. In this particular instance, with this college kid, the cops didn't do anything wrong.

He was asked to leave. He refused. The police attempted to peacefully escort him off the premisis, he resisted. The warned him, took his arm, and he pulled away. At one point it appeared he was about to swing at one of the cops. On the ground, the told him many times to put his hands behind his back. He refused. He resisted. They tased him and cuffed him. They did their job.
