Don't tase me Bro !

Twice in my life I have witnessed police being forceful with persons under arrest or soon to be under arrest. I was in full agreement with the police actions each time. Its possible it could have been beyond standard protocol but it seemed proportional and appropriate to me at the time.
Recently I have seen you tube videos of people getting tased by police or security guards. In 90% of these situations I very strongly disagree with the police actions. This is the most striking and perverse abuse of human rights as I have ever seen in the United States. I think it sets a terrible standard that we must all fight against. Police nation wide are establishing the concept that they are justified in tasing anyone if they become difficult in any way. It is not necessary to be violent or dangerous. It is not necessary for the office to feel overwhelmed, out manned out or gunned. The first words out of their mouth is or I'll tase you, Like they have a God given right to be cruel and abusive to any citizen any time. It is a crazy world where we are outraged when a horrible terrorist is water boarded but ok if a 90 pound lady is tased by a 200 pound police officer because she didn't say "how high sir" when he said jump. The worst aspect of this brutal development is that according to the social contract officers have no real rights. We the people are allowing them use of our rights because it is in the public interest to have organized and centralized ,protection and law enforcement. In a horrible turn those we have allowed the use of our rights to self defense, become our attackers. I studied martial arts for a short time. I know that with very modest training the police would almost never need to taser anyone. There are a hundred very effective wrist, finger and arm locks that are easy to use and work wonderfully. I see no reason to give into police brutality when there are good alternatives to the taser. Watch the videos on You Tube. Get outraged and let someone know how you feel.
