This is a normal post Yes, it's totally justified when a 60 year old man who won't tell you his name and is backing away from you to electrocute him the face.
You don't even need to warn him he is going to be tasered as per the police guidelines.

No name? Pew pew pew!

This is a normal post He was clearly physically resisting arrest, swinging his arms all over the place. If he had cooperated, he wouldn't have been tasered.
I never said it was justified, but if you're so fucking stupid that you think you can get away with defying someone that can legally use force against you and detain you for non-cooperation, the consequences are inevitable. And what's the problem with telling a copper your name? I've been asked to, I wasn't happy about it, and was a bit stroppy, but because I'm not a spastic cunt who decided to back away as if to flee while flailing my arms about in an aggressive manner, I didn't even get arrested, nevermind tasered.
Now, hadn't you best be off to some anti-Trump inauguration rally, you daft hippie?

This is a normal post I'm with the daft hippie on this one.
No violence just resisting being grabbed.
Not a justification for the use of what can be fatal weapon.

This is a normal post Resisting arrest in a way that the lumpier policeman could easily have restrained him without zapping him.
I mean, they do train police how to do that you know? I kickbox with several rozzers and they have taught us the insertion (oo-er) and extraction techniques for getting violent ne'er do wells in and out of cells. Not once did any of them say the only weak point to the exercise is if they are swinging their arms.

This is a normal post It was the woman that tasered him.
Maybe she's a massive brexit voting racist, or maybe she was on the rag, I dunno.

This is a normal post It's most likely the consequence of giving a dumb-ass a weapon.

This is a normal post Agreed. Which is precisely why only an equally dumb-assed individual would resist arrest.

This is a normal post If only all dumb-asses had tasers.

This is a normal post Humans are not perfect, that make mistakes and errors of judgement.
Coppers are humans. Coppers can use force, and tasers. Things can end very badly if you don't do what they ask of you. Being surprised or outraged by any of this is pretty bloody fatuous.

This is a normal post Like the time they tasered that blind man for thinking his white cane was a samurai sword?
What a mistaka to maka!

This is a normal post Humans can also be thugs, bullies, ignoramuses and racists.
One would hope there'd be something in the recruitment and induction of people into responsible public serving roles that would weed out those traits. But apparently not.

This is a normal post I can see it's a bad idea to resist but as a society how tragic it is to see

This is a normal post In order to be resisting arrest,
the police must be attempting to arrest, having informed him of their intent to arrest, and having reasonable grounds for arrest.

They hadn't, so he wasn't.

This is a normal post Don't forget, if you do fail to give a verbal warning BEFORE discharging your weapon,
you can always just shout it several times AFTERWARDS, and that's fine.
Any court in the land will take a copper's word over some scruff who got zapped.

Of course, she could have just been trying to shine the laser into his eyes and it went off, but that takes special training to blind someone.

This is a normal post the people that excuse and explain this behaviour is why we accept and tolerate this.
