In response to "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." by Jim

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

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
