77. What is with you?
"then that is just a guess on my part. not that i said anything about the student at ucla in my post."

Well that's BS:

and the was not combative, he was merely making a scene. ergo constitutes zappin


"but if that is what you are going on about talking on a thread about a man being tasered while sleeping on his couch, lets talk. bottom line, you changing the argument to some other person not a part of the thread to justify the taser is the very hyperbole you bitch about"

First, look up the definition of Hyperbole. This is hyperbole:

no scenes to be made. eyes down. submit. be intimidated at all cost. no emotions. no mad, no angry, no frustrated, be the nice docile zombie. or receive punishment from our cops.


Second, my original post was that taser incidents vary, some are justified, some like the sleeping man, are not. Nice straw man you created there. Making it look like I support the tasering of a sleeping man. Sick. Where'd you learn that? That was so Rove like.

"it was your comment of creating a scene justifies a zap that got me to comment."

I used creating a scene as in, he was doing what he did for the camera, a show of sorts, and he didn't think about the consequences of fighting with the cops. It's called the stupidity of youth. And like all of us, he eventually learns that the rules apply to all of us equally. That is not authoritarianism, it's reality. Every teenager I've ever known feels the rules so not apply to him at one point. And all of them eventually find the limit or grow out of it.

The bottom line is that he thought it would be funny to fight the cops, and they didn't find it funny. And I don't always side with the cops, as I've been through Georgia enough times to know that some cops out there are pigs. Georgia cops fly to a Yankee license plate like flies to shit.
