Tasers in the Outfield - Lemmy.World

A Cincinnati Reds fan is in the midst of being tased by a police officer after running onto the field.

“Ah yes, someone interrupting the sportsball game. Let’s use a weapon on them that is sometimes fatal. That is an appropriate escalation of force.”

—that policeman probably

Your comment assumes that there is a reasoning mind inside that uniform, instead of mindless knee-jerk brute force.

And that mindlessness also goes for whoever decides to pull these “I might get tased for this” pranks or dares, just to be a blip on local television for a second or two.
