Perhaps in general, but in the specific instance of a fan running onto the field? I believe tasering is a fair default.

There is simply no reasonable situation where a fan is *justified* in running onto the field during a game. Ok, sure, we can make a hypothetical situation where he's been chased by a killer jaguar on the loose from a zoo, but a *realistic* situation? There are next to none.

I disagree that it's a default. And as noted - so do the police. -- nm - Reagen May 4, 07:48 1
- I understand that the police have to investigate it, it's the use of force. If a homeowner finds a burgler and tases him, the police would also - musubi May 4, 07:54
there is no reason why someone needs to walk into by backyard either... - groiny May 4, 07:48 5
- If you found someone stranger in your backyard, you wouldn't taser them? Doesn't sound like you. (nm) - musubi May 4, 07:50 4
  - If I thought I would not get sued, arrested and fined, sure. nm -- nm - groiny May 4, 07:52
  - why would he need a taser when he's got his baseball bat handy? -- nm - znufrii May 4, 07:52 2
    - Bat's been borrowed by something. -- nm - Will Hunting (204 lbs) May 4, 07:52 1
      - why use a bat when I have 8 samurai swords to choose from? nm -- nm - groiny May 4, 07:53
