He should have stopped, from what I understand it would have been community service is all.

As usual hindsight is always 20/20 when it comes to us armchair law enforcement officers.


Facts is facts. smile
I never said "graffiti artist"...and I did say he was "defacing a building".
As Shooshie once said.. there's the law.. and then there's the spirit of the law.

You don't have to go exactly by the book. Being an officer is as much about exercising judgement as it is about enforcement.
Some of the young men witnessing the tasering said some of the cops were laughing and high five-ing.
I'm not saying what the officer did was "technically" wrong.. but did he have any other choices? Numerous officers there and they couldn't bring in a teen w/o tasering? Seems like a bit much to me.

Yep, that's tough.

Like Pirate, I think there is more to this situation. There had to be some threat or something.

I was a kid. I never spray-painted anything I didn't own. I was never tasered. End of story.

LOL.. w/e.

They didn't have tasers when you were a kid... and graffiti wasn't popular. But I'll bet you got into some shenanigans....
End of Story!

Reminds me of the old joke that people in East LA aren't allowed to write checks as one can't right a check with a spray can

TAZERs are serious tools . They certainly can be deadly. There wasa young man in my small town a few years ago, who died after being TAZERed . He was high on drugs and was naked at the time supposedly acting erratic .
