:Angry rant: police brutality pisses me off

[PopeAK49]

I would have at least pistol whipped him . I don't have anything to say about the whole tazzard thing, but obviously it's not a fun thing when it's you getting tazzard.

You're grasping at straws here =sw=warlord. I've taken classes in law enforcement and the only iffy thing here going on is when that one officer punched him in the face, even then, it's not brutality. Ideally, he should have been handcuffed as soon as the first tase was done, but tasing him again because he's trying to resist isn't brutality.

[=sw=warlord]

Yes, and you are wrong. I could be struck by 2 million volts of electricity but if it doesn't have enough ampage it's not going to do much.

Like I said, tasers don't always work.

Protip: current does not equal voltage, amperage does.
Therefore i am not wrong you misinterpreted what i said.

You've done american law enforcement, not UK law enforcement.
Laws differ between countries.
Where's limited when you need him...
Did i not point out being subjected to a electrical pulse with strong enough current could cause the body to shake due to muscle contractions?
That looks like exactly whats going on there.
Looks exactly to what happened to someone who was in my class when we were doing tests with a lesson in health and safety.
also im pretty sure it is not ok to cause brain trauma especialy when you want to charge someone because that could alter the defence.

Let me stick my finger in an electric outlet. Now I'm an expert too!!!

So now with both our experience, how do you propose the cops should have handled the situation?

I would suggest they used the taser once, while he was on the floor recovering from the shock they should have had one officer pin him to the ground while the other hand cuffed him.

Can you please state the differences. Of course, different countries have different laws but maybe it would be nice to learn them because I might go to the UK some day . Do you know anything about American law enforcement by the way? I mean it seems you should know since you are stating that they are different with law enforcement.

They were obviously trying to hand cuff him after tazering him once, but he still didn't let his hands free to be cuffed - so they tazed him again. Punching seemed a bit too much, though.

You know what I think? No big deal. If you're a belligerent asshole causing bodily harm to someone else, you deserve to get tazzed in the first place, and if you are dumb enough to resist after that, have a nice day, get some more.

Sounds like a personal problem to me. I couldn't give a fuck less about some fool recording it on his cellphone and the media (and you) sensationalizing it.

All i know of american law enforcement is what i've seen from programmes like road wars and street crime, from what i've seen most law enforcement offciers over there carry guns i've yet to see a officer over here carry a hand gun on a street patrol.
I learned how important subtle differences between laws were from when i had issues with a company in scotland and there being slight differences between scottish law and english law.
So from what i had learned from that experience leads me to say comparing american law enforcement classes to english law enforce is just a no go.

@timo, it sounded like they were shouting him to straighten his legs but if he has all his muscles contracting that would be very hard to do.
i've been hit by 240v from a computer power supply unit once and i could not feel my arm for most of the day due to all the muscles contracting which were squashing the nerve ending, it wore off after a few hours but i dare say a laser could be a very nasty experience usualy it takes 30 minutes for someone to recover which is relatively short but i dare say they could still feel a tingle after probably not as long though due to lower current than said psu.

V=IR, where V is voltage in volts, I is current in amperes, and R is the resistance in ohms. It seems he resisted too much.
