I guess I am amazed that people think sports are more important than this child.

Sports are supposed to be for fun, but they have gotten so serious (no doubt in some part due to gambling), that here we are talking about taseing a child.

Amazing

certainly sports isn't more important than the welfare of a child. I'm thinking more often than not it isn't a child doing the silly stuff just someone acting like a child. And how does an officer know if it is a child or not anyway. What do you do ask for an ID before you taser them?

I think but I could be wrong that I heard they charged him with trespass. He had a ticket for the game, are the stands and the ball field not on the same piece of property? I think people do stuff like that for the thrill of it or on a dare or cuz they are drunk. If the media didn't make such a big deal of it you'd probably see the occurrence of it even less often.

I think I'd like to drive my Tundra up in the middle of the boys one Sunday when the Chevy's are giving my 'Yota boys to much of a hard time. Wreck a few of them and give the race back to my 'Yota boys.

I think if there is any chance its a child, no taser.

I agree about the media, this got way more coverage than the entire flood here in Nashville with most of the city under water.

Cody (my son) is 17 in this picture, he looks like a grown man




He is 6ft 1 and about 189

I hope I gave him enough sense not to run across some field during an sporting event..

Now if I seen a guy jump over the fencing, running, I would be a lil worried, this day and age we just don't know..

Look at NY a bomb was sitting there waiting to go off.

This kid could of been someone dangerous

How do we know? Or do we just let any ass hat run across the field during a game?

Oh wait, if it's a girl in lil shorts and large breats it's a go!

That is what I thought too Snowy. Had it been a girl would she have been tasered? Oh no that would have been a side show! Also I'm disappointed you had no comment on me wrecking the Chevy's........

[Apocalipstic]

Ehhhh, we disagree on this. No biggie! Hell, I don't even go to sporting events when I can help it.

Your Son is a cutie Snow! Of course!

Hey, and I drive a Chevy!

Isn't it strange that nobody is going near the double standard issue?

[suebee]

Second example: A woman is running around a shopping mall threatening anyone who comes close to her with a knife. She's disoriented - in fact, she's suffering from a psychotic break. The police follow her into a store and using their tasers, immobilize and disarm her. Nobody was hurt. This happened last year in a small city a couple of hours' drive away from here. I believe the woman had attacked her husband before going to the mall. Can't remember the details. She was hospitalized - for the psychosis, not injuries related to the tasering. The officers involved received public praise for the restraint shown in their intervention.

I think this is an appropriate use of the taser, though I still think it can be dangerous. This situation could have ended much differently, and deadly force probably would have been justified.

As for tasering someone for being a nuisance? .....the man doesn't have the right to call himself a law enforcement professional. Their training includes the psychology of intervention, not simply the physical dynamics of it. Was the kid on the field an asshat? He certainly was. But tasering for conveniance......not cool. Not cool at all. In fact - sometimes it's deadly.
