NOT_RICKTasers in the Outfield
GuydhtAm 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.
I agree, someone holding a very dangerous weapon (baseball cap) should be stopped instantly.
Honestly I think the cop didn’t go far enough, maybe could have called in close air support instead?
You know what’s another dangerous weapon? A fist. And an elbow. And a knee. And a tackle.
People can be dangerous even without weapons. He needed to be stopped immediately, before reaching any non-security personnel.
Shit. I know like 20 people with fists, elbows, and knees. I’m gonna call the cops on them right now.
If they’re running at you after illegally jumping through security trying to prevent him from getting close to you - I sure hope you’d call the police! That’s dangerous behaviour, and is scary.
Guess I should tase or shoot all the people that walk past my no trespassing signs instead of just walking out and asking them to leave.
Shit. I think they all had elbows too!
Ah yes, because a stadium with thousands of people is exactly as manageable as your backyard.
Also, saying “tase or shoot people” is ridiculous. Don’t put those in the same category. One is meant to neutralize, the other to kill.
Also also, I like how you disregard completely the point about how they’re running - probably sprinting even. Which is again, much less manageable than your (honestly unreleated) example of “people that walk past my no traspassing signs”.
Seriously, put yourself in the situation for just a second and think again how chill you would’ve been.
Yeah. Every week some fan killed a player before they invented tasers and militarized security.
It’s actually pretty easy to keep your chill if you don’t train yourself to imagine every interaction is life or death.
Shoot any teenagers turning around in your driveway lately?
