2. you fail to provide any proof of your statements inspite of all the claims about abuse of tasering. surely someone would have caught a cop red handed with all the camera phones around these days, yet the best anyone has produced so far is a woman who assulted police while they were arresting her b/f who also assulted police and a cameraman. she then resisted arrest, fought through being pepper sprayed and ignored the warning she was about to be tasered. hardly a very convincing argument that police abused their power or taser.
3. the word fascist clearly gives you a woody, there can be no other explaination of your constant misuse of the term.
You keep calling me a fascist with no proof of my polictical ideology at all. Maybe you think if you repeat it enough someone might start believing you?
1. use dickhead as an umbrella term to cover the various types of behavour i've seen in tasing video's. since you seem to lack the faculties to comphrend this i'll make a short list - resisting arrest,assult,verbal abuse.
2. you fail once again to provide a single video of someone being tased who is complying with police. i've seen probably 50+ online video's of tasing incidents, and every single one of them brought it on themselfs through their own stupidity.
3. I'm far far from being a kid. i suppose you'd like to think of me in such terms to feel superior in some pathetic way, but the truth is unless your very old or very rich i have more life experience then you.
why should 6 people risk a bite from someone who could have some diesease when they can be subdued without injury to the suspect or themselfs? your problem, is that you don't think of cops as people with families etc. they aren't drones impervious to harm, nor do they deserve to be put in harms way just because someone wants to be a dickbrain. being a cop is just a job at the end of the day, and you have no right to expect them to put themselfs at more risk then nessacary, just because you think tasing looks cruel.
you don't know if he was on any drugs or not. typically one small guy off his face needs ATLEAST 3 people to properly secure him. have you ever tried to handcuff someone? it's not fucking easy at all, if they are putting up a real fight and are hyped up on something you need a person on each leg and arm and one person to put the cuffs on.
The challange stands. find me a video of a POLICE officer tasing someone who isn't being a total dickhead. put aside your rabid cop hate for 5 minutes and you'll see i'm right. it's rent-a-cops that do all the tasing. also keep in mind that in situations where a cop pulls someone over and they refuse to get out of the car, tasing them to get them out is the right thing to do because it's very dangerous for the cop to try reach into the car and get them - they could have a knife, gun or just drive over them.
often what seems like passive resistance is suspects actually conceling a weapon/drugs they are sitting on.
what so because something isn't 100% fool proof we should abandon it? i guess you won't use a condom because there's a tiny chance it won't work, so why bother?
while i don't believe in government mandated everything, these are definately worth consideration. being able to simply shut a vehicle off as opposed to a high speed chase - which one do you think is going to be safer?
there's plenty of solutions to preventing abuse. have the device require 2 random passcodes, one given to police and one kept by the owner, and both being required to turn off the engine. In the event it's the owner who is driving and needs to be stopped, require a judge to provide a court order to the 3rd party who supplied the unit to use a ONCE ONLY cut off code, the use of which requires pyshically removing the device and resetting it after.

You people screech about tasers being over used, but i'm yet to see a single video of a cop using a taser on someone who didn't deserve it.
they aren't rounding up defensless fluffy bunnies you know. cops deal with people who would kill or maime them in the blink of an eye, so i wouldn't hesitate to tase someone who i thought was going to turn violent on me either. if anything i've seen the vast majority of cops display AMAZING patience.
What i HAVE seen though is the misuse of tasers by people who ARE NOT police officers. i think that little bit of power goes right to their heads.
If they are anything like other government departments (and i'm sure they are) they have just made a best guess at what he looks like and gone right ahead and claimed it's definately him.
i mean after all, who cares as long as someone gets the blame?
no matter how much you'd like to dramatise it, a bot collecting statistics from your email (which you knowingly agreed to if your using gmail) is not a criminal offence.
People don't use gmail for privacy, they use it for it's great features and large storage. if google want's to collect data on my account and throw up targeted ads for me why should i give 2 shakes of a donkey's dick about it? they aren't scamming me or keeping tabs on my sex life or political agenda - their selling advertising space, nothing more.

why don't you back up your claims a little more then retoric.

errr judge != government. if anything they are the balance against abuse of power.

err that prove my point, that non police officers are the problem?
