I'm with ML...after that coach was attacked by fans jumping on the field...I say taser the shit out of someone jumping on the field.

maybe that's what it will take to get people to stop.

Because I never watch baseball, what happens to the TV coverage when someone runs on the field? Do they put the TV cameras on the guy, or do they cut - Roger More May 4, 06:54 3
- Cut away in most instances. -- nm - Will Hunting (204 lbs) May 4, 06:56 2
  - they used to show it in the 70s and into the 80s, unless it was a streaker. -- nm - zork May 4, 07:10 1
    - Then they realized they were just encouraging it. -- nm - Ender May 4, 07:10
I don't deny that it's a useful tool to have in one's arsenal, but I don't think it should be thought of as a default option in any situation. -- nm - znufrii May 4, 06:43 24

- Personally, I don't think jumping in the middle of a field during a major league game is "any situation." - JaxSean (182 lbs) May 4, 06:46 17

    - If fans jump on to the field and start injuring players, they'll put up some sort of barrier to stop it. - JaxSean (182 lbs) May 4, 06:57 15

        I haven't been to a MLB game in many years, but as long as there's signs indicating "Appropriate Force may be used if anyone runs on the field," I'm - JaxSean (182 lbs) May 4, 07:05 13
        
        that still leaves the question open of when is tasering an "appropriate" measure of force. - znufrii May 4, 07:10 4
        
        No, I think there is no question. Jump on the field, that's it. - JaxSean (182 lbs) May 4, 07:17 3

        Yes. You jump on the field of play, for the safety of the players, you may get tasered. - JaxSean (182 lbs) May 4, 07:23 1
        
        Screw that...post it up "you jump of the field, you WILL be tasered". And be done with it. - Jim May 4, 07:25

        It makes it ok for the safety and security of the players. - JaxSean (182 lbs) May 4, 07:15 6
        
        So if tasers aren't a deterrent, why use them? (unless a player's safety is at risk) -- nm - Roger More May 4, 07:18

        My categorical "it's always ok to use it" is to subdue someone. No, if they're already subdued, then it's not appropriate. - JaxSean (182 lbs) May 4, 07:21
        
        90% of the players would likely beat the shit out of some random fan. nm -- nm - groiny May 4, 07:16 2
        
        Didn't some linebacker one time totally annihilate a field runner? That was wicked. -- nm - Shaun May 4, 07:19 1
        
        yeah, I do not remember who it was, but they got their clock cleaned real good. nm -- nm - groiny May 4, 07:19
- Kid, your face is a useful tool. -- nm - TFox May 4, 06:45 4
  - well, at least it's useful. - znufrii May 4, 06:46 3
    - nice! -- nm - loosilu May 4, 07:09
    - ohhhhhh, *snap!* -- nm - TFox May 4, 06:46 1
      - You were totally burned there. I imagine you will be sad the rest of the day. -- nm - Shaun May 4, 06:55
agreed. -- nm - loosilu May 4, 06:41
Yup. I'm perfectly ok with the use of the taser in this instance. -- nm - JaxSean (182 lbs) May 4, 06:40
word. -- nm - Beaker May 4, 06:37
Bring in ED-209. - HdnAgnda May 4, 06:37
just deal with it -- nm - Danish Football fans May 4, 06:36
Ding. -- nm - Will Hunting (204 lbs) May 4, 06:34
ditto...I have zero sympathy for anyone who runs on the field. -- nm - Mel Profit May 4, 06:34
