Protect and Serve

Autistic Teen Tasered in California

A 15 year old who left a social services center and was apparently running in and out of traffic was tasered by police. According to the police, they tasered him for his own protection.

"If that were your son, would you want him Tased or hit by a car?"

"Gee, are those my only two options? Then yes, tasering was perfectly acceptable. Thank you mr police officer man. I don't know what you guys did before these marvelous devices were invented. Oh yeah, billy clubs. Yes, you would have been perfectly right to have clubbed my son unconscious had he been running loose in traffic. A coma is much better than dead under the wheels of a semi."

Never mind that the boy was special needs. If you're close enough to taser someone, you're close enough to grab him and cuff him. Lazy sons of b*****s.

Bill O'Reilly Should Get Tasered

Bill O'Reilly, one of my favorite people ever, has called the college student that got tasered in the much-watched video that's circulating, "the biggest wimp in the United States of America".

I am not really surprised.

While I would agree that the kid does seem to be trying to force some sort of confrontation, I don't think he warranted a tasering. The cops are clearly big enough, with enough help to simply drag him out of there or make him roll over without the use of what has essentially become a torture device that cops fall to too easily.
