i can't speak to mouthing-off to cops because that was/is beyond inconceivable, my parents made it perfectly clear that if i ever was arrested/picked up by the cops that i should under no circumstance waste a phone call on calling them because my dad would *NEVER* bail me out of JH/jail.

so, it's probably not the taser (or bat)--though my dad was and probably still is an excellent shot. (target practice, mainly.)

Yeah. I don't think making light of using excessive force on minors is funny.
Coming from a person that survived a mother who used it regularly.

perhaps it will take 3 or 4 hangings but eventually people will learn that disrupting an event is not "cute, funny, or a way to get your 15 minutes of fame" this goes for little kids who decide to start screaming in church as well....hang them and their parents.

Well, the kids are going to be kids. It's up to the parents how to deal with it.

This goes back to the parents and then we'll get into the whole 'who's a good parent' discussion and that will go all to Hell in a pretty lil hand basket. With streamers and glitter, no less.

So, to stop that in its tracks, I too knew better even though I did not have a good parental influence and spent years in the system.

So, the responsibility for the infraction goes firmly on the shoulders of the idiot who committed it, where it belongs.

I am very glad my parent never advocated violently assaulting me for no reason, "just so I knew what it feels like."

Wow.

"Civil journalism", and more threads such as this, along with videos, are good for folks who were/will be victims of excessive use of force with tasers. Do we have legislation to protect them?

How will it help when the kid had a ticket?

So we are going to tase and possibly hang children if they interrupt sports.

Yeayyy.

I am proud as pie of us. Sports. Something that is supposed to be recreational and fun. Relaxing even.

My parent did take to assaulting me physically..but did not really give me a reason.

Maybe the Dad should have been tased instead of the kid?

Again, for me it is incomprehensible to get so upset over a ball game that some of us think violence to children is the way to control crowds.

Wow.

I am now clear on why I am not into sports....I thought it was dodge ball, but no...it was fans who think that nothing should get in the way of competition.
