A 17-year-old Phillies fan who ran onto the field during a Phillies-Cardinal game was brought down in front of 40,000 people by a Taser from a uniformed officer, WXTF TV reports. The teen was wearing a red Phillies T-shirt and khaki shorts as he ran around the outfield, dodging security Monday night at Citizens Bank Park. Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams told Fox 29 news that the Taser is a "good tool" for police. "I think the police officer had to do what they think is in the moment, they're chasing this guy he won't stop," Williams said on the Good Day program. "They didn't use deadly force, he didn't pull out his weapon and shoot him and he used the Tasers." Philadelphia police Lt. Frank Vanore said the department will examine if this was "proper use of the equipment," meaning the Taser, the TV station reports.

there is a poll at the source asking the readers to vote on whether this was the proper use of a taser and so far 63 opercent say yes and about 90 percent of the comments under thestory are taking the side of the cop i really fear for this nation its like thep eople wan the u.s. to devolve into a police state thinking thety will never be affected cause they are the good guys and no rogue officer will ever harrass them cause they support to thepolice i dont really understand the mindset of cop worshipers have they ever seen youtube videos or read storys online of the out of control cops?

uh huh. Might just as well swatted him with a sock or something. Tasers won't kill people, oh no. No way, no how. I don't know why they put all those lies in the paper and online about people who they claim have died after being hit with that. Guess they are all just lying cause you know the cops wouldn't. Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. deleted
The relationship between morality and liberty is a directly proportional one. "You've got to put right and wrong above legal and illegal. Because when tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty; and it is not rebellion at all, it is submission to the higher law that our government is in rebellion to. We're not the rebels, they're the rebels."
We should just be thankful. /s
I am surprised the tazer worked from that distance. The boy could have been hurt falling face first into the ground as well, especially if it was astro-turf. I'll admit, the boy was incredibly stupid and seemed to be drunk, but didn't seem to pose much of a threat to anyone. One of the Philles should have been able to chase him down and tackle his ass quite easily, if not, then maybe they should sign the kid up.
God is always good!
Whatever happened to that big busted gal that used to run on the field during games? She would swing so far I always expected her to knock herself out with her own tits.
"With respect to the words general welfare, I have always regarded them as qualified by the detail of powers connected with them. To take them in a literal and unlimited sense would be a metamorphosis of the Constitution into a character which there is a host of proofs was not contemplated by its creators." I couldn't get on 4um for a while. Page wouldn't load.
I have no idea.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. I remember her. She was around in the days before we became a militarized, obey-everything, fun is verboten, boot on the neck culture. Today she'd be tasered, clubbed, or worse. Same thing for those silly people who went streaking back in the 1970's. This country has lost its soul, and all we do is sit and chat about it.
MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
he who wants bread is the servant of the man that will feed him, if a man thus feeds a whole people, they are under his control.
