Wow.
From the video it looks like there were at least 5 men chasing him around the field. Chasing one skinny kid, clearly unarmed, running around in circles, waving a shirt. Threatening nobody and the 5 of them would have easily stopped him. It says in the news report this kid was 17?
And the police shoot him with a taser gun? That's disgusting.
Are you comfortable with your government using disproportionate force against you?
If your reasoning is that "he knew it was illegal, so he deserved it", would you be okay with the Police shooting your tyres out the next time you speed in your car?
Tasers are very dangerous, they can actually kill you. I can't believe the police would be allowed to use them purely for convenience (for fun?) like that.
