i have a few things to say:
- not all police members are pricks at all;
- the guy was asking questions and then abruptly interrupted;
- police can be held responsible of unnecessary use of tasers;
- no need to hold somebody for voicing out questions;
- even if the whole thing was a prank, i don't see reasons for the guy to be arrested nor shaken nor held to the ground, and in the end what matters is that the guy was only speaking to a public audience;
in my opinion those officers thought they'd end up losing credibility if they didn't act strong, and so they did. the video is fucking scary tho, and seems like there's more to come.
if i can say it out loud, it feels like fucking fascism. it's fucked up.
ps: read it again up there - i think not all police officers are pricks at all. but police certainly has a part in the violence witnessed everyday on the streets. power gets to the head, without a doubt.
