    Police need to be made to fear the law. Until they do they will continue to be sadistic monsters.

      The law? No, those motherfuckers need to learn to fear the people they ‘serve’ and ‘protect’.

        Oh, they do. They serve and protect the ownership class, not the labor class. There was nobody there they cared about, or worked for.

    This is one of those situations where there was no need for a police interaction at all, let alone a violent or forceful one.

    I’m sorry, I might still be confused… did he get arrested and tazed for just continuing to conduct the band? Why were the police even stopping him? This seems insane.

      Cops wanted to go home. Cops can’t go home till everyone leaves. People are staying because band is still playing. Cops throw tantrum.

        Which is bizarre. I’ve never heard of a football stadium just instantly shutting everything down after the game. There’s always post-game entertainment, opportunities for the opposing teams to shake hands, sometimes some announcements, that sort of thing.

        Utterly ridiculous, power-tripping cops. I hope he takes them to the cleaners.

      The cops, who I’m guessing are lying as usual, claimed he shoved one of them. Which, of course, is totally a reason to use a taser.

    In many places if you’re found guilty of committing a crime and it’s “gang related” then the consequences go up. I think the same should happen to cops.

    I’m not talking about the actions that can be debated, I’m talking about the ones where a fool did something egregious like tase a teacher for not obeying unnecessary instructions.

    Hmm, I wonder if there were ever a group of people in history, who committed atrocities, and said they were just “following orders.” Who could they be? It’s a head scratcher.
