Philidelphia sports fans are savages. :lamo
As long as everyone agrees to what they're getting into, I have no issue with it either way. /shrugI played **** tons of backyard tackle ball. I guess I should have used a tazer eh? I mean, it's safer than tackling and I'm not a professional athlete with lots of expensive equipment. So it should have been better for me to use a tazer instead. So we should give our kids tazers when they go out to play tackle football. I mean...it's safer for everyone involved, right?
I'll admit I may have cross-pollinated your post with another, but I was responding to the following in your post:No I didn't bring up safety issues, that was you. I said it was best to just tackle the guy.
No one was going to get hurt, what the **** is the guy gonna do?
Parent and children agree to it, why not?So are you ok with little kids using tazers during pickup tackle football games?
Tazering stopped him quickly without harming anyone. Problem solved. That there may have been other ways to solve the situation doesn't negate the fact that the way it was handled was successful, not harmful, and efficient.You see in the end the "safety" arguments of all flavors are bull**** arguments that don't pan out to reality. We have to ask, why was he tazered? For trespassing during an social entertainment event which he paid to get into. Perhaps in that case, tazering is not all the called for. Especially when the guy is outnumbered and chased down. Just tackle the guy. No more of these BS excuses over "safety". Fact is this has happened numerous times before, it will happen numerous times later. And this is one of the very rare, few cases in which the guy running on the field wasn't tackled. And guess what? Not a bunch of people getting hurt, no players getting thrown on DL because of it, etc. So let's take this for what it is and not go into absurd hyperbole to try to excuse the actions of the police state. Tazering was not necessary.
Let's look at the facts:
1. Kid is running around in a CLOSED field.
2. Six guys are chasing him.
3. The human body tires after strenuous activity.
Unnecessary.
That guys been waiting three years to use that taser and finally goes "Oh snap I finally get to use this thing! :mrgreen:"
Does every instance of breaking the law require a taser? In my opinion, no. There were 6 guys dealing with this stupid kid... ample enough bodies to tackle him and get him off the field before any damage was done. Listen, these on-filed shenanigans have been done for over 50 years, and each instance was remedied without the use of a taser. I do not recall one instance where a player was hurt because of a streaker or some jerk delaying the game because of stupidity.
Now come on -- the cop had a perfectly good reason to tase the kid.
He was too fat and slow to catch him.

The gun can elicit response with gun. The knife...that would excuse the tazer, but not a gun. Well that would depend. But if the suspect is standing away from folk brandishing a gun, it's tazer excused. If he's lunging or within proximity of others it's gun excused.
True story... Devils flyers, NJ. Flyers devils fan get into a fight, on the bus ride home same fyers fan stabs another.
True Story.... Took my wife toa phantoms game when we were in philly, fight breaks out, 9 year old girls in 4h stashes start screaming "kill that mother****er" and other such vernaculars....
Philidelphia sports fans are savages. :lamo
The amount of hate for the city of brotherly love here is appalling. You should all be ashamed. The Phillies and Flyers don't deserve such bad mouthing though the Eagles should get all they can handle. To those who are Met fans I have one thing to say:
:2rofll:
Whens the last time you heard about an incident at Shea Stadium/Citi Field?? Oh wait thats right never, we know how to act like people unlike Philly.
As long as everyone agrees to what they're getting into, I have no issue with it either way. /shrug

Maybe pansy-asses shouldn't run onto the field.
Ahh, the "outnumbered" argument again.
Its not a fair fight and isn't supposed to be.
But it doesn't matter if there is one, six, twelve, or twenty four officers (although by then they'd have a perimeter on the kid). The risk of injury is all the same regardless of how many officers are present if the confrontation gets physical.
Also, "why" doesn't really matter. If someone assaults an officers after a robbery, or after stealing a pack of bubble gum is all the same, they are both getting the tazer.
Now for the sake of morons and idiots I have to add a disclaimer that I already stated the use of the tazer was not necessary in this case, as he was only fleeing and not physically threatening or attacking officers. I just can't ****ing stand it when idiots talk about how many officers there are, as if the risks go away when more show up and the person still acts the same.
Maybe you can show me where I said it had to be a fair fight? Can you? No? That's right cause I didn't. So if you want to stop trying to assume things and go off of what is written, that would be great. kthanks. The point was that they didn't need to taze him. They had him chased down, they had him out numbered, a simple tackle would have sufficed.
Why always matters. The State has presumption of guilt. They initiate force, they are suspect, they need to answer. Why is very important. Though not to anything which was being said. My point there was to put in perspective the act of tazering the guy and the reason for it. It wasn't assault he got tazed for, so please try to be consistent and honest. It was trespassing.
I can't stand when idiots can't read and the assume things which were not said so they can make a dumb ass rant about something which didn't exist. ****ing idiots.
Bad Move He Caused No Harm!
Tasing (after the initial shock) is more an embarassment than anything else. this kids epic faceplant failure will go into the annals of history for all to see. Bonus. For us I mean.
Until it kills you. Plus cops should probably be trained in take down maneuvers. In fact, I'd be rather surprised if they weren't. I just think that tazering someone for trespassing is perhaps more response than is necessary.
I think tasers are used much too quickly, usually by cops/security guys who are 30 lbs over weight. However, that kid deserved a good old fashioned ass whupping! His dad too! I understand he was sitting with his father actually discussing whether he should do this or not. So, who is more irresponsible, the kid or the dad, for not stopping him?
6 or 7 security guards against 1 drunk fan. Using a weapon such as a taser was completely unnecessary.
Over-reacting, extremism, over zealousness, hatred, fear, envy are the problems. Also laziness, sloth(the so-called parent.)..
A little tolerance can go a long way.
Why so much hatred for this poor child?
