Just out of curiosity, was this a public beach or was this guy trespassing?  If he was trespassing, perhaps they could have shot him.  I think California has a Castle doctrine law.  This would have solved the problem for everyone.

Indeed - and since I am pretty sure suicide is a crime, shooting him would even protect him from committing a crime as well.

That video doesn't really show anything interesting.

My video was better.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

No. I guess you'd think that.

To me, tasing a guy holding an infant is still shocking. Pun not intended.  ;)

ZOMG WHY YOU GOTTA BE A CUNT???

Really, you cannot tell from the video why the cop is tasing him, what the result of the tasing is, whether that is actually a child he is holding, nothing. There isn't any sound, and no context.

The way he's carrying it, I don't think it's a baby.

I have no idea. And while tazing someone carrying a baby is probably a bad idea, I could certainly imagine circumstances where it is warranted. Was this one of them? Who knows? You can't tell from the video.

Is there more information some where that would make slargos likely faux outrage make more sense? Or is he just channeling Marty again?

The article is right there with the video.

Of course, it could be slander and lies.

Pics or it didn't happen, right?

But I guess that could be a lie aswell.

Eyewitness or it didn't happen.


There are eyewitnesses. Their stories are conflicting though. Who are you choosing to believe?

I think they all agree that he was holding a child. Motivations and outcomes are not irrelevant, but I would think he'd need to be actively strangling the kid to make tasing him acceptable.

I wish I could find that video of that Swedish chick sing her national anthem while getting fucked by a black dude.

I remember that; it was an alleged non-custodial baby snatching down in Houston at Mother's Hospital.  And it wasn't a security guard, it was an off-duty Houston PD working for the hospital, which tells you all you need to know.

It's not like he was going anywhere;  when the baby leaves the unit, the baby Low Jack sets off the alarm system, the stairwell doors lock down, and the elevators are disabled.  He wasn't going anywhere.

Stupid Houston PD.
