After the Rodney King incident years ago, the cops NATION WIDE were very reluctant to lay down a beating. So we know they have the command to control their officers from beating people in general, so why does there seem to be a lack of command for tasering people? It seems logical to me that judging by the surplus of tasing, they're actually getting commands contrary to public opinion. I think commanders encourage their officers to tase people.
The more people you tase and the more people feel like cops can tase you whenever they feel like it and get away with it, the more likely there will be a system of fear for cops, and not respect. If someone fears you, you're basically an enemy. If someone respects you, you can be either friend, enemy or neutral. Don't the commanders realize they're making enemies?
The girl below doesn't look that angry to me even with a taser pointed at her face. When they start pulling her she still doesn't seem all that upset. She ended up being mostly out of the car by the time they tased her too.
I thought police beatings were supposed to eventually be a thing of the past? I suppose now that they can tase people, to death literally, now they don't have beatings anymore? So I guess that's ok now?
In case you're too young to remember: This is a black guy named Rodney King who got beat up some years ago, supposedly and possibly because he was black. It used to take multiple officers to lay a beat down on people. Now it only takes one or two, depending on how long their taser takes to recharge.
