Right on, I've got some heavy landscaping going on so I'm stuck at the house monitoring all day.
We don't really need all those hypotheticals. The taser, in some cases, can be deadly and therefore should only be used in place of deadly force. Since running on a baseball field in no way warrants deadly force it should not warrant taser use either.
Chase the kid around, play some funny music from the speakers, tackle him and let him take his bow....its just not the big fucking deal its being made out to be. Unless you're getting more and more accustomed to living in a police state where violent responses to non-violent crimes are the norm.

Well now I never said it should be an alternative to being in good physical condition and I agree with you there BUT I still say no big deal to what happened...the kid rolled the dice...won for a little while and then LOST. :lol:

I would agree with all that, if not for the specific use of the taser.
