Anyway, my response was to that specific poster. He said earlier in the thread that he believes that speed cameras are a cash grab and that they do nothing for public safety, but he abides by them and believes people who don't are stupid because "it's the law". That's the depressing part.
As for the case at hand: I think the old guy broke the law -- fine. The real question for me is "did the cop use excessive force" (aka "break the law"). If he didn't, good for him and job well done. But if he did use excessive force I think we should be concerned about it, and I don't think we should just pass it off and say "well, the old coot had it coming", which is pretty much the consensus around here.

I am not concerned about it all. All i can gather is you are one of those types who don't believe people need to take responsibility for thier actions..In this case we have a 68 year old who (as i stated earlier this fine piece of journalism is completely slanted in his favor) drove off when he was in the process of getting a ticket, then stopped, got out of his car and approached the officer....he is lucky all he got was tasered...guess what bro, this doesnt happen if he obeys the law...his fault..with 2 cops already shot DEAD in cold blood ... its a highly sensitive time ... and it was bad judgement on his part...but hey forget about what he did...lets call it excessive force and fear the police state we are becoming..blah blah..having said that i do see where you are coming from, i was a teenager once and thought the same stupid things..then i grew up
