A Cincinnati Reds fan is in the midst of being tased by a police officer after running onto the field.

A more interesting pic:
The cop was justifiably scared. There’s no way he could do any flips in the air.
He did the backflip, all that was left to do is snap the bad guy’s neck and save the day. So close!
But I gotta say I really don’t understand what’s happening in the top right image, or the order of events.
“Ah yes, someone interrupting the sportsball game. Let’s use a weapon on them that is sometimes fatal. That is an appropriate escalation of force.”
—that policeman probably
Your comment assumes that there is a reasoning mind inside that uniform, instead of mindless knee-jerk brute force.
And that mindlessness also goes for whoever decides to pull these “I might get tased for this” pranks or dares, just to be a blip on local television for a second or two.
It’s fine, he shouted “He’s coming right for us!” first.
I’m assuming America, lucky the wernt shot.
But I guess this isn’t a school field
Cincinnati is usually in America, yes.
Love the name, btw
Thanks mate
'murica, land of the poorly trained police shakes head (but not in disbelief).
That deserves a frame and a spot on the photo wall at home
As sometimes outside the US, this entire thread is absolutely insane regarding the normalisation and justification for violence in general and tasers specifically
I just read every comment on this post and you might be a bit mistaken about how much “normalization and justification for violence” is actually going on here. Everyone, aside from one person (Guydht), is condemning this abuse of force. Everyone.
Just because that one person was very vocal about their opinion doesn’t mean that there was a plethora is commenters agreeing with him.
Are we reading the same thread? Just about everyone in here is criticizing the cop.
Exactly. I read all of the current comments and only counted one person defending the abuse of power. It was a very vocal person, but just one person.

“So how did the date end?…”
ACAB indeed.
No one is to have fun at the old billionaires game. Bastards 13:12
A properly deployed taser is basically a guaranteed concussion. I’m glad this guy was too close to get a good shot off.
This is a perfect depiction of what it’s like being a Cincinnati Reds fan
Lmfao went to the game Friday, you couldn’t be more right
So interesting thing about tazers, they only paralyze muscle that is in between the propes during the tazer cycle. That’s why the little probes spread out the further they get from the tazer. See how close those wires are? That means he is extremely close and there is no immobilization happening it’s just causing pain. The range is far too close to be effective even if the use were justified.
that cop couldn’t look more like a cop
Well that seems like a completely justifiable use of force in this situation. /s
Couldn’t that be fatal considering how sweaty they are ?
It’s not got anything to do with sweat. (Actually, that might make it less effective, but I doubt it.)
Tasers get fatal when the person has a heart condition or similar issue. Basically causes your muscles to clench and relax at high frequency rendering you unable to use them.
Sometimes hearts get dysrhythmia, where they stop contracting in a useful/normal fashion (that lub-dub beat.)
It’s the current passing through/near the heart that causes it.
That cop should have been dragged into the streets for doing that. How is this acceptable to people?
Unfortunately they have radios, and a very large number of backups.
They would still be outnumbered by a stadium full of people.
You think there’s more people in that stadium than there are cops?
Edit. I looked up numbers. Cincinnati has 1,053 sworn officers. If that is the Great American Ballpark, it seats 44k.
Seems the crowd outnumbers the cops.Not quite. Cincinnati is not an island. There are multiple other police districts around it, and even more districts around those. State troopers love shutting shit down. There is the national guard. There is also the American military. None of them are going to side with a few violent crowd members.
Coward cop man, threatening a human life in defense of property/profit.
