1. What's the fucking deal with police using tasers on everyone??

Have we REALLY crept that much closer to a fascist state??

7. Uhhh, Yes.

This is another step toward fascism and a police state.

This is insane! This man had been shot, was bleeding from the mouth, probably in shock, so they TASERED him.
The cops are getting out of control, or else they are too paranoid to perform their duties without over-reacting.
Law Enforcement all over America needs new training or a personnel change, QUICKLY.
OUTLAW DEADLY TASERS.
File lawsuits against Taser International and it's investors.

If you find the gun culture worthy of ridicule, you should subscribe

4. If you think gun culture is bad...

looks like "taser culture" is going to be far worse.

3. So much for taser use as an "alternative" to gunshot. eom

5. Tasers should not be alternatives to shooting someone...

If someone is threatening your life you should shoot someone.

Tasers are not and should not be a replacement for deadly force.

Tasers also should not be something that police use on all civilians just because they dont comply with them.

6. If he refused treatment, then who's going to pay the medical bill

that was forced upon him? Why should he be required to be responsible for that bill?
