a couple of years back a student at another university got tasered multiple times by campus cops for not showing his student ID upon trying to enter the computer lab.

 

[FuseFX]

The most interesting part of the story is that the phrase "Don't Taser Me Bro" is already being commercialized with merchandise and someone beat me to register DontTaserMeBro.com. Doh!

 

[HomerJ]

and I thought the laugh of the day was when i was reading the IAmAdultDiapers.com names ... this takes the cake! Hilarious!

you could always get a typo ... DontTaserMBro.com

 

[TheLegendaryJP]

From further video release recently the kid was a major disturbance and very rude. Resist the escort , resist arrest and get tasered it's a no brainer. Perhaps better then sticks and bean bags to the legs. While I hate to see anyone experience any pain when ou ask for it you get it. " Dont taser me bro " while I kick and fight...lol

 

[mjnels]

i checked just to be funny and somebody actually registered DontTazeMeBro.mobi.... hahahahaha


...and .biz, and .us, and .info

I worked in a jail and I can tell that when four+ officers are present to subdue one person with no weapon, a taser is most certainly NOT needed. Unless they are a bunch of pansies, and being that they looked like campus cops (glorified security guards) that's no surprise.

I swear Kerry is a robot, you can hear him droning on in the background. What a tool.

That is so crazy and lame! Maybe not.

I can see it now. A whole site set up with idiots doing stunts ala "jackass" tasering their buddies.

Or like a girl I work with who got drunk one afternoon with her husband's and her family and put a dog shock collar on her brother.

Oh my God. The video was hilarious and how those drunk idiots managed to keep from pissing themselves was beyond me.

Seriously, it must have been painful as hell when they turned the juice up but everyone was okay but it was so damn funny.

It is dangerous to hand these tools like candies, in particular to untrained security monkeys, as the persons carrying them are more likely to abuse them, just because it's supposed to be 'non-lethal'. In certains circumstances Tasers are dangerous and can cause death.

Hahaha... If you're going to debate a guy with soiled pants convulsing on the floor, best to bring the speech above a monotone next time Mr. Kerry.

 

[fatter]

this guy planned the whole thing, its not his first stunt for the camera, in fact he had his own camera man. i prefer billy clubs myself, why should someone risk getting hurt from a punk who cant follow directions.

Cops abuse their power on a daily basis. Its too bad tasers can't backfire.

I love watching videos of people getting tazed.

Call me sadistic if you want, but 99.9% of the time, they deserved it. Comply or cach a jolt, it's that simple.

There was an article in the San Diego paper where officers tazed an autistic teenager who escaped from some facility and was playing in traffic.

Of course you got people saying "OMG, he was autistic, how barbaric!!!"

Wherein the police calmly replied, "Would you rather he been hit by multiple vehicles going 45 mph or tazed? You choose."

Way to generalize.

 

[PRED]

I have to say hilarious at first as the kid is so dumb.
I am all for asking politicians awkward questions & watching them squirm, but he was just rude, loud & not clever at all. I heard him say 'blowjob ', so he was always going to have to leave just for that.

What is scary is the need for the taser.
They had the cuffs on & were sitting on him & one of the monkeys was tasering lol
There must have been 7 guards or more in the end, all braindead & fat lol
I know if you pay peanuts you get monkeys, but come on, lol :lol:
2 strong guys , half sensible,could have ejected a college kid safely into the next room....away from the cameras, in one swift move. just by holding his arms tightly behind.
It was just so embarassing for all involved. Cringe

 

[Gerry]

At least they weren't target practicing with their AR-15's. This is nutso!

there was this link too
celebrities getting tasered! :uhoh: LOL

I quote, "you cant own a taser in indiana, unless, you've been tasered yourself"

Maybe , they should do the same with guns? :yes:

 

[HomerJ]

yeah, basically exactly what any 2 bouncers in his local college bar would do, getting paid in bar tabs. don't need guys on salary w/ tasers for that.

same goes for the austic kid, how much of a fight is he putting up? idk, unless he freaks out and goes berzerker like rain man style ... i don't know much about autistics i guess, except from the movies. ... but people have been killed from these things.

 

[Raider]

The guy had a history of pulling these stunts, but I think the taser was very unnecessary, I agree with Pred, they had enough security there to put the guy in cuffs and cart him off to a padded cell. :frusty:

I saw this clip once of George Bush Sr while President and how he handled a heckler, It was brilliant, Bush was speaking to a group, I think it was during a trip to China, A heckler starts shouting questions about something completely off topic, so rather than subdue the guy, Bush said he would answer his questions but it would come out of everyone else's time, which turned the audience on the heckler.....Classic.
