Wow, I'm surprised... I thought most of you all would say fuck the cops.
It's funny because my first reaction was, "yeah, tase that stupid punk." But the more I thought about it I just didn't think the force used to stop him matched the threat. I'm still somewhat on the fence. It's an interesting question to think about where is the line where it is OK for the police to use a taser. Should they be free as soon as someone starts to resist or evade arrest? Some people resist but are relatively passive about it, should they get tased? I just think from the video I saw in this case the kids was obviously goofing around and wasn't a threat to anyone, hence a taser is excessive. But, meh, I don't know.
