A) I'm a student and "trying" to stay clearminded on this.
I have been tasered before by friends.. go ahead laugh, it was not in a criminal manner.
I have also tested my roommate's electric dog collar to make sure it's not overly painful. This does not mean I am going to test a gun shot to the leg or anything so no changing what I said.
B) I feel there is a racial element here. I think the response to this "ham" of a student was above and beyond.
IMO, it was an abuse of power. I think the "anyone could be a terrorist or Columbine shooter is the worse reasoning I have heard." That reasoning provides for an auto-excuse everytime due to a super low probability extreme. Tasering him 5 times w/ 5 cops watching while 20 students are around telling you to stop..
C) You're right that I have not tried every taser out, but I get the impression that everyone thinks it's just a buzz wakeup call like those handshake gags.
D) "Untrue. The taser like any electrical current is either on or off. If it is on, muscular responses are incapacitated, if they are off, an individual has full muscular control."
No, not in my experience. You feel like your body will not respond. It took me a couple of minutes to recover.
Why would you incapacitate the muscular response of someone lying limp on the ground.
E) If this is looked at as an abuse of authority, then the next ? is why. This of course leads to the racial profiling.
Who is our current enemy #1 - Iran. I think it must be tough for someone from Iran living in the US today.
I have said my piece. I guess oddly I am in the minority here at least. I wish they had some other videos to see.
F) Very few people in NC know about this. I have had to show some youtube videos to at least 10 people.
G) It unfortunately makes me think of the gestapo and to make this more HTF like V for Vendetta where they talk of how people's rights are eroded while they smile and move along. Maybe I am a sap, but I find it very scary.
