I have been hit by mace (by accident), hit with a taser (at work when we started to sell them) and tear gassed (boot camp) and I must say of the 3, I will choose being tased every time. Sure it hurts like hell, but it didn’t hurt that long and there was no long term side effect for me, tear gas is nasty but disappears fast, mace just fucking sucks, nothing but time will take care of it and it takes 20+ minutes for it to disappear.

And this guy wasn’t exactly a midget, he is a good sized kid and again, he flays his arms and tries to run off and more than once, like it or not that IS resisting arrest. The video starts and shows you only what makes him look like a victim and not an instigator which was conveniently edited out.

I agree with the question, what are the cops suppose to do? Ask him over and over and over to leave and ignore everything else and just keep asking him to leave? So 1 person should be allowed to disrupt hundreds and get away with it?

HA!

People seem to think if you wear a badge, you are instantly wrong and dirty and corrupt, there are just a few bad cops and many good ones, but for all the bitching over bad cops, who wants to live in a world where there is no law enforcement at all? I have family members who are cops, so I know many police officers and by far most are honest and fair and I also knew a few dirty pricks who became cops and are still dirty ass pricks but now they have a badge, so I know dirty cops as well.

I stand by my first post; I am on the cop’s side 100% in this case, he was asked to stop, he was asked to leave, he was being escorted out, he resisted, he tried to run, he screamed and cried and begged and he got arrested.

Now the 83 year old woman who was thrown to the sidewalk and handcuffed over a lawn that she refused to water is a different story….
