UF Student Tasered while in handcuffs last night

This just reinforces that we need to get TASERS out of the hands of the police. These TASERS are just as bad as lethal force.

Write your congressmen to have TASERS outlawed.

Re: UF Student Tasered while in handcuffs

Well, that is all well and good but TASERS are supposed to be non lethal, but unfortunately that is not always the case. Pepper spray is just as effective and does not kill.

Re: UF Student Tasered while in handcuffs

if someone is allerigic to something in pepparspray as well.. they will die

Sad for this person... and his family, but i wouldnt say TASERS is the problem. There are sad stories where just brute force has been used and they have died. mostly because the criminal didnt do as the police said. *Shrugs*

87% of the time these people are cranked up on some sort of drug and the use of oc sray and gas dont even effect them. I know I work with both forms of non lethal everyday. Thats a one in how many thousand chance of a perosn dieing from either. I have been hit with the taser myself and I lived.

Perhaps we should just get rid of all of them and feed the crimnals candy and that will make them stop, pfffft

Re: UF Student Tasered while in handcuffs

Not to mention pepper spray in a crowded forum would have inadvertantly gotten on other parties present whereby innocent bystanders would have been subjected to its effects due to one overzealous person. He had his chance to speak and should have backed down when asked to....hit him again just to make the point!

Re: UF Student Tasered while in handcuffs

I have had the pleasure of being both tasered and oc sprayed. I would rather be tasered anyday of the week because after the burst the pain is over, the spray is a gift that just keeps giving, hours and hours later lol

Re: UF Student Tasered while in handcuffs

Force is force, I agree it should be used.

When asked by Authorities to COMPLY; then damnit you'd better comply or face the consequences, period!

I didn't give 20 years of my life to protect our freedom to have some numb-nutz wanna be to take advantage of it.

Authorities say stop, or move on, then do it. Get billigerant and resist, then take your medicine, and don't whine about it.

His time was up, he was asked to move on. End of story.

People speed, people wreck, people die. They broke the law, knowingly and paid the ultimate price. And a good part of the time, they take INNOCENT people with them.

It's not that hard to obey. I think the police tried nicely, then semi-forcefully, that failed, they did the next thing to control the situation.

Re: UF Student Tasered while in handcuffs

Sorry, I think he deserved it.
If you're going to resist and need 4 officers to bring you down, you should expect the consequences
I mean seriously, what a muppet

I think tasers are a good idea, personally.

Re: UF Student Tasered while in handcuffs

Good news, it looks like tasers will be banned from UF campus.

The officers are on unpaid leave and face possible charges.

The issue at hand is that the student was already restrained by handcuffs.

One down and many more to go.
