Fat fuck can't outrun skinny kid, goes to the taser. Case closed.

Yeah, but how often do you get to pull a running 20-foot shot at a moving target in front of thousands? Sure beats baseball!

Punk ass, bitch ass cops.

Pretty indifferent on this story, but I have to say, there's been funnier tasings.

Lol. I love it , I watched that shit about fifty times yesterday at work laughing my ass off ! Good for the cop that zapped him . He got what he deserved by making a fat cop run after him . Lol, * Friends dare a fool to run out on the field to prove how stupid and gullible he is, Gets security to chase after him, Alludes them for about five, Or six minutes, Slips by two of them in thoughts that he is in the clear to head back too the stands , Then Out of nowhere, Zap,.......Sizzle,..............Drops to the ground like a dead moose !*

Didn't see it live or don't know what the circumstances were but, I feel it would be excessive... if he had a valid reason for running on the field. Otherwise, it was a semi-quick solution to a problem. Hey, if he thought it would be fun or funny to run out there, I bet there were probably a few that thought it was fun and funny that he got dropped like a sack of potatoes with that taser. I don't think people paid to watch a guy get chased around the field that night.

If people don't want tasers and prefer the old school method of tackling, then what happens when stadiums hire college linebackers, who didn't get drafted to the NFL, to be security? When they start taking peeps down (hey, that could be a good tryout showcase for them) and someone gets a boo boo, will a lot of peeps start crying about that, too?

Fucking hipsters.

how often does this happen that it has to merit the use of a taser gun? even if the gun is used as a deterrent to future invaders, is that really the way to go?

how come hockey players are not tasered out of the fights they constantly get into? how is that permissible, but an occasional intrusion to a baseball game by a lunatic not tolerated, or dealt with in another way?

really people...vent out here and let me know.

I HIGHLY SUPPORT TASERING 17 YEAR OLD BITCHES WITH DORK NOSES AND GAY SHORTS

everyone is warned before the game that if you jump on the field you will be subject to police action..prolly some stupid kid boozed up before the game trying to impress a girl..and for everyone saying its been done for decades baseball players arent just regular guys anymore..these guys are million dollar investments now..and to the poster saying a taser is a deadly weapon, learn your facts fool

It is YOU who needs to learn the facts. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=f35_1180404904

Police in Baltimore are in trouble after a man they tased died,the 4th to die in 12 months from being tasered.

There have been many incidents where fans run on the field and injure other fans or players (someone mentioned Monica Seles and that first base coach a few years back got punched pretty bad). Also, this outcome seems less dangerous than if 5 security guards jump on the kid possibly injuring the kid and themselves in the process. It doesn't seem like the kid was too shaken up by the incident.

Stupid phuck.

Totally wrong. The kid wasn't harming himself or anyone else. (But I do find this kind of thing annoying as all hell.) Not only is a taser dangerous, but he could have broken a collarbone or dislocated his shoulder - at the least. Falling over as deadweight is bad enough when you're standing still.

I am not a litigious person, but I would be dialing a lawyer about this one.

" I would be dialing a lawyer about this one."

Absolutely no chance of winning such a suit. He wasn't injured, he was breaking the law, and he was evading a police officer after being commanded to stop. What would be the grounds for a lawsuit?

Personally I don't think it was an appropriate use of force (obviously the guy wasn't going to escape), however at least from the Philly police chief's statement it does fall within the department's guidelines -- they're allowed to use a taser to stop a fleeing suspect.

What he is questioning, actually, is whether it's appropriate for police officers to even be stationed where they'd be involved in this kind of incident, or whether guarding the field from fan incursions should be left to private security.

Only a whambulance chaser would take this case.

Maybe if that cop lost a few pounds he would be able to catch the kid. This seems to be a bit excessive. What is the kid going to do? Fly away? He's going to get caught anyway once he get tired or tries to hop back into the stands.

Dude deserved it.

Do we need another Monica Seles stabbing incident? Just stay off the field you friggin retard. I hope Penn State revokes his acceptance letter for being a huge moron.

totally excessive force.

This dude wasnt going to get away no matter how fat the cop was. Where the hell was he going to go?

And he wasnt going to hurt anyone.

I'd say it's worth being tased just for the epic facebook profile pic.
