    Thanks for the explanation. Now that I get a picture...wow.

    If you're shocked by a tazer once -- may be you really can't stand up even if they try to force you to...

    Or he might be very angry with the police and actually become a criminal!

    I'm not sure how anyone can defend the police beyond "the kid has it coming" or "they're just doing their job" or other kinds of tip-toe-tap-dancing arguments when they tazer him after he's on the ground like that.

    The first time he could get up and he did but after the 2nd and specially the 3rd time no way he could have gotten up if he wanted to even. Anyway why does he have to be tasered in the first place, that just shows they failed to do their job.

    I was REALLY drunk once and was walking home, met two armed cops on the way, I kinda freaked inside because I knew I was too drunk to walk and I'd probably get taken in for the night, probably to a freakin cell. I literally bumped right into the guy in front of me. They asked me some questions, produce ID, where you going, where you coming from etc. And then I was drunk so getting aggressive could have come easily, and they could tell. They stopped asking questions, and guess what ? They walked me home, helping me as I stumbled along the way. I made two friends that night. I came to the station where they were posted and the next time we all had a drink together, on me. Time after that they paid. I still meet them sometimes on the street as my home is in their juristiction, I see them on the street. And I always feel GOOD that those guys are the ones with guns. That's the way it's supposed to be.

    You guys should watch the movie, CRASH. Very good movie.

    I agree with Rose at the end of the Bruin article. The student was in the wrong when he did not comply. The officers were in the wrong when they repeatedly tasered him after he was completely in their power. Which is worse? In my opinion, the reaction of the officers is much more disturbing, and I hope this issue (which sounds like a broader problem on campus) is resolved soon for the safety of the students.
