And since when do governments have those right? Since forever. Millions have died for lesser things and alot worse than a shock to the body. Granted not a continues flow of electricity, but bring the guy down and get the job done.

The kid was dumb enough not to comply. He paid the price, maybe he'll bring his ID next time. IF the cops acting wrongly and it's founded. Shock them too.

They shouldn't have had to "bop him on the head", either. If 3 cops can't pick up a scrawny college kid physically, I've lost faith in our police.

What would you be saying if this kid had a pacemaker and the taser killed him? A taser doesn't just shock you. The ones the cops use are highly lethal devices. Hundreds of people have died from them. They lock up your central nervous system and block the signals from getting to your muscles. If used incorrectly they can seriously screw you up.

If he had a bomb on him or some other weapon, a taser or baton would have done nothing to stop him.
