Leftist Blogs Defend Police Brutality In Student Tazering

Break his arm? LOL. Now you're just resorting to making up hypothetical situations and using them as an argument.

Um, in case you didn't know, getting tased hurts quite a bit. It doesn't have to "injure" someone to be police brutality. By the way, there have been deaths from tasers. Of course, that is when police are using more than one taser. And yes, that is police brutality - worse than this video. This video isn't bad police brutality, but it is police brutality nonetheless.


If there were no tasers, would you have supported the concept of beating him into submission with a baton? In your other post you said that would have worked as well. Would you have supported that course of action if no tasers were available? Because apparently you think the dude was dangerous to the handful of cops and himself. I truly think that is a ridiculous thing to say when a bunch of cops already pretty much wrestled him to the floor. He was using his other arm to try and get away... but oh, wait, I guess 6 cops aren't strong enough to pull his arm into place to handcuff him.

No, I do not believe a baton would of been a good course of action and I truly believe the taser was the best course of action. If the taser wasn't involved then I would go with the wrestling. Will you at least admit that Meyer shouldn't have resisted being escorted out of the building? Would he of got tased if he left peacefully? Would any of this of happened if he left peacefully with the police?

he would have definently not have been tazed if he left peacefully. he should have handled the situation like an adult. if he was being treated unfair or being arrested for an unnecesary reason, then he should have just cooperated and later on sued.

A taser is not supposed to be a shortcut to submission.

I saw that video. That was messed up. He just asked a question and was hauled away. It's a shame when police arrest you for questioning authority. The police had to be more cautious since the cameras were there.

the thing is he caused a problem before he went on the mic thats why the cops are all around him, they already wanted to kick him out of there. they did not want to cause to much problems, so they waited till he finished his question, then proceeded to arrest him.

No I saw the video and I'm informed well enough on the topic thank you. You don't arrest someone in America for asking a question. Thats illegal. He was just asking "the wrong questions". However, it is illegal under law to violate freedom of speech.

Not to sound rude but I still don't think your informed enough. He was not arrested for asking a question; He was arrested for disturbing the peace. He started disturbing the peace when he would not let the officers escort him out of the building(remember, they were not arresting him yet) and decided to try to get alway twice!
