    I agree, but I’m pretty sure that tasing under normal and proper use shouldn’t kill healthy people (a person running storming a sports game is 100% healthy). Like, if he had stayed tasing him for like 20 seconds then I’d get the outrage, but removing the taser once he’s incapacitated really shouldn’t have major consequences.

    And it’s definitely a valid option in the case of a large field like a game stadium, where there’s lots of room for the person to run away rapidly. Once he gets a few meters away from security, he has lots of room to sprint away, and catching him would be really hard.

    Idk, I just think it’s really really hard to guard a game once someone broke through security gates.

      Lots of room for someone to run away rapidly?

      So, like the athlete supposedly in danger would be able to do? Kind of puts a damper on the whole someone was in danger theory you keep trying to push.

      This is the same mentality that got a teen shot because he rang the wrong doorbell after getting the address wrong or the man shot for using a driveway to turn around. The world isn’t as dangerous as you’ve made it in your mind.
