"Do it."


This is one of the more neuanced tazer stories. Clearly the kid was acting really stupid, and probably deserved to be tazed. However, from the article its not entirely clear that it was necessary. This article shows the police mentality that I have spoken about previously, that everything is percieved as a hostile act when all you deal with is the scum of humanity. Its also pretty clear that both sides are streaching the truth to make themselves seem as good as possible.

yeah, I already posted about this taser incident. I don't think having a taser on school grounds, carried by the truancy officer, is a good idea in the slightest.
