So how are you cautious then?
Im constantly paranoid about hitting someone the wrong way... just the slightest hit on the head can cause so much damage... you have to be damn careful...
We are not talking about hitting people though, we are talking about a taser. How was he supposed to be cautious in that situation?
When someone attacks a cop, it is something they know will happen to them (if they are not shot outright).
If your child is being attacked by the cops, it must be very hard to restrain yourself...
That is a fairly pathetic excuse. First of all, his child was NOT being attacked by cops, which makes it completely unrelated. Second of all, he is a grown adult and a citizen of his country, maybe he should show some self control. When I was a little kid, there was a girl I really liked. We were out playing baseball with kids from the school, and one of them threw a piece of watermelon on her dress and she started crying. Instead of doing the right thing and just making sure it didn't escalate, I attacked the kid. I beat the snot out of him, and two of his friends. When I got home I had two big cuts on my face, a massive bruise, and severely cut lip. My dad asked me what happened, and being the tough little boy I was, I started bragging about what I did. He smacked me right across my cut face, helped me clean up, and took me over to the other kids houses to apologize. I couldn't look anyone in the face for weeks after that, but I learned a good lesson, don't fight. Some may think my dad was a little course (and perhaps he was), but he was responsible, and he did the right thing. He set a good example for his children, so that they would do the right thing as well.
If your child breaks the law and is being handcuffed for it, you do not attack a policeman. That is absolutely no excuse at all. No wonder his sons turned out to be the scum that they are. The guy is an irresponsible, violent, drunk...not a parent.
As to what you said about attacking police, no offense, but if something like this happens and you attack a police officer, I hope you are dealt with quickly and decisively.
As I said in my above post, an attack on a police officer acting within the law is an attack on the rights, freedoms, and safety of everyone.
Well as i calrified in my statement
unless they had a very good reason i woul defend my friend....
So you would like the police to taser my friend without a good reason and get away with it ?!
I said "if something like this happens", and I do not consider this an example of the police not having good reason. I said it, because you seem to. You see, it is our opinions on what constitutes a good reason that is causing the confusion.
And to tackle your question, no, I do not think that they should get away with it, but I also think that attacking them makes you just as guilty. They are not shooting your friend, they are tasing them. Big difference. You take them to court if you thought that they did not have good reason, you do not attack them. You cannot attack everyone who you disagree with. I can see if you are protecting your friend's well being or life (like if they are continually tasing him (ei torturing him), or beating the snot out of him without a good reason), but otherwise, you bring it before the people and let justice work.
