Police Tasers have gotten out of hand. It all started with the Florida student who coined the phrase "Don't tase me bros". Now we have another kid who wrongly thought it would be fun to see how long the grounds crew would take to get him off of the field at a Phillies game. He was tased live on tv. True he was a Phillies fan so that in itself somewhat justifies this, but really.
In between the two events several people have died due to complication of being tased and other health issues. Therefore, it can be a deadly instrument if used on the wrong person. Since cops don't have this information as to who might or might not die from being tased, don't you think tasing a kid for playing tag is a little extreme? I'm thinking the taser is for someone who has a knife and might hurt themselves or someone else. A drunk that is 6 feet eight, weighing 290 and completely out of control. Ok or maybe the University of Maryland student who they beat the crap out of for sticking his tongue out at a police horse(the taser would have felt better).
Maybe it's just me?
