While I think that police forces in general need tighter restrictions on when they can/can't use tasers (in some places MUCH tighter restrictions), but... and I'm not making excuses for all the overzealous butthead cops out there of which there are many, but I also have to say that I really don't feel much sympathy or remorse for most criminal idiots who get a tasering. Seems like nearly every bit of footage I see lately is some moron who can't obey a simple command from a cop, or they resist, or run away instead of stopping, etc.
Hey, if you do something illegal and get caught and you refuse to drop the knife, bat, or screwdriver, or you struggle while being arrested, or throw shit at the cops or their car, or any number of dumbass things that idiots do when they're about to be arrested, then you pretty much get what you get.
Just be thankful it wasn't a couple of bullets in your ass I guess.
