  No Name is half right

  So what are the cops supposed to do? Sit on the floor and have a pow wow with some idiot until the idiot feels like moving? Fuck that. The kid is not obeying a lawful order given by lawful authorities.

  Cops aren't Supermen. They have jobs, frustrations, duties, tasks, obligations, and a million other things to do. How would this incident change if one of them missed a campus patrol and some student got raped because of it? What if there's an assault that they could have intervened in, but because they weren't there because they were sitting with this jackass, WAITING for him to move, the assailant kills someone?

  We don't live in a motherfucking vaccuum, and while it's easy to be selfish and myopic and scream about your rights, and worry about some spoiled little shit getting tased, it's possible someone is paying for your spoiled ass's luxuries with their life. Do you think that's a good trade-off?

  I don't. But that's just me. I think of other people sometimes.

  That's why when some drunken jackass won't leave the fucking library and sits on the floor screaming about his rights instead of standing up (they only fucking said, "Stand up" a hundred brazillion times), I'm all for tasing the fucker until he pukes and begs for mercy. And if he won't move, I'll look the other way while they put the toe of their boot in his gut.

  If the kid had been standing up and was walking out on his own and THEN they tased him, instead of laying on the floor screaming some nonsense about his rights and about Homeland Security (LMAO, WTF? -- it's a college library ... OMG),, then I'd be concerned.

  But in this case, I think the little shit got off easy. Next time a cop asks him to do something, I bet he does it.
