5. Do you have anything better to do than go in every single taser post and say this?
Seriously, get a life. You only got 80 years. There's better things to do with your time than this.

3. It's already overly polluted with threads about the fad-cause of the day
Edited on Wed Sep-19-07 03:18 PM by BurtWorm
which, like most fad causes, has absolutely nothing to do with anything that really matters in most people's lives. Note that the debate is not about how to end the war or how to ensure civil liberties. It's about whether John Kerry is a good enough man, or Meyer is sincere, or the police were assholes.

What's the difference between this pointless bullshit and any other piece of celebrity fluff?

8. This involves police tazering a non violent man
and most celebrity fluff doesn't...

9. Does it really merit nine million threads?
Why is this the cause of the day, really? Is it because it really affects all of us? Or because we have nothing better--more interesting, more relevant--to talk about?

11. Its part of a bigger problem.
Police using the Tasers, not for safety, but to punish. Its part of police brutality.

15. Well Im glad this is though.
This country needs a case to get huge media attention to address police brutality, and I hope this is it. But it probably wont though. But we can only hope.

16. So you actually made that on your computer, printed it, scanned it,
and uploaded it, just for such a purpose? I'm flattered... :blush:

Do you have one for everyone at DU or just a select few?

20. Let me just say this about all the threads about the taser incident...
:argh: **





**This sentiment does not apply to any thread in which I post a reply thereby exonerating me as an accomplice to the beating of the dead horse.
