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.

Am I the only one here who thinks the cop was justified?

That man needed to be stopped, 100%. No way what he could’ve done on the field to the athletes, and a taser shouldn’t be deadly when used correctly.

As long as it’s not irreversible damage, I don’t see the harm.

It’s excessive. Tackle him like a normal cop.
Tackle? Them’s rookie tactics. Knee to the neck for 9 minutes or nothing!

They haven’t learned how to do that in their 6 weeks crash course.

Just for comparison, police training is 2.5 years in Germany. Im sure others are similar.
