    This guys wasn't bothered one bit by being tased or struck in the face and that really made the cops mad so they kept beating him. Lovely police work.

    I like how we issue cops non-lethal weapons for use in detaining people in arrests and then everybody whines when they use them.

    They quit hitting once he was under control and they only used force to get him down so I don't really see the issue here.

    At least not in the force used, I don't really know what he was detained for because that wasn't on camera, of course.

    I apologize if the first post wasn't the sarcasm I thought it was.

    Label it whatever you want. The point is you're complaining about the police using the non-lethal weapons to do their job. They quit attacking once he was detained.

    Would you prefer our police officers be relegated to the tactics seen in Demolition Man? (0:57)

    Re: The Tasers were out at PNC

    I'm still wondering what was the actual reason that one University of Florida student's pleas of "Don't tase me, bro" went ignored. If I didn't know any better, it's as if his adding the word "bro" got him tased for the heck of it.

    No, I'm laughing at the police hitting the guy simply because he wasn't phased by the tasers. The man was perfectly calm and did not need to be struck in the head or legs. Stop trying to turn this into something its not. I found the video to be funny. You obviously are trying to have an agenda here. No thanks.

    I agree the Don't Tase Me Bro kid's incident was excessive...even if it was funny with the ensuing meme. They already had him detained and kept tasing him....as opposed to this guy who got clubbed a few times to get him down then they put the cuffs on and escorted him out.

    People complaining about cops anytime they use the slightest amount of force is a pet peeve. I apologize if you were just trying to show the humor in the matter.

    First time Ive ever seen someone stand up to the taser. And it doesnt even phase him. And Hollywood thank you for making me have to watch Demolition Man again :P.

    Huh. Watching the game you could clearly hear chants of "USA, USA!" at one point. The announcers even mentioned that they had no idea why they were chanting it. I guess I know why now.

    Perhaps the guys in Philly can send a few of the "Stay Off the Grass or We'll Taser Your Ass" T-shirts up north.
