In actuality I'd rather have the idiot who was smug enough to NOT show his ID or leave when he was asked to, to comply like everyone else is expected to. When will that end? You get pulled over and the cops ask for your Drivers Licences and you refuse? If I was the Cop or SEcurity Guard I'd rather have the guy dropped, then either someone killed, shot or if the person has other motives, myself blown up. So in a perfect world all would be well.

That said, I'm not excusing the % of the cops that do this for sport or unjustified. From what I read, I'd rather have the guy tazed, take outside, rather than anything the guy "Might" have been doing in a closed area. What if this had been an area of an airport? Or a library at the local Jr.High.

I"M not excusing the problem, just simply saying it's a bit broader than just some moron not "showing his ID." :rolleyes:

They had no reason to do that. None at all.

At the moment of climax, she applied jumper cables attatched to a car battery, to our aquaintenses testicles. He chalked this up as easily one of the best sexual experiences he had ever had. Sorry, I felt I had to share.

But, if he refused to move, or provide ID or/and tried to insight the rest of the people in the library to join him, then I'd say zap the guy. That's the story I've read.
