As good as a tool a TASER is, you gotta wonder if it was worth the risk to take down this idiot
. A guy that runs onto the field only has so many places to go before they get caught…no need to use non-lethal, or tail-risk lethal force for what was for all intents and purposes, a cornered man with no weapon, and with unknown substances in their bloodstream.
Tasers should be used as substitutes for guns, not for thinking things through.
Also, I think we make a new rule: every time a Taser goes off in the hands of a police officer in America, Rick Sanchez gets tased again.
My dad owned a convenience shop and had some kind of electroshock weapon behind the counter. I remember when I was about 9, my grandma hid it under a stack of bills for the register and shocked my uncle, to see what would happen. She was a funny lady!

Just a lawsuit waiting to happen.
They should just let them run free. See what happens if no one chases them.

That's what happens when you hire All-Bro Security.
You're getting slow with the batteries, Philly.
They still have horse cops, don't they?
Probably not since a police horse shat on the Veterans Stadium Astroturf during the 1980 World Series.
For the record, the kid was 17, asked his dad for permission and was neither drunk nor on drugs (probably another 1st in Phillies history)
Then they should charge dad for endandering the welfare of a minor.
They should charge the dad for raising a kid that's a Phllies fan.
If shortstops were allowed taser baserunners, it would be an excellent innovation.
Jimmy Rollins would be UNSTOPPABLE.
That cop's stuff was just ELECTRIC last night.

In Philadelphia, getting tased –preferably to the point of losing consciousness–is about the nicest thing that can happen to you.
I'm in favor of tasering anyone in cargo shorts, so he'll get no sympathy from me.
Just let us know when Santa Claus gets tasered.
