Florida Police use 3 Tasers, baton, 4 handcuffs to arrest bar customer

A taser is not a compliance device. Cops need this drilled into their heads.

They probably could have avoided all of that retardation with some pepper spray, christ at this rate I should become a cop to balance out the retards.

You don't even need pepper spray. In this case the man was drunk and not belligerent. You can talk a drunk person into almost anything. Police need to be trained better in subtlety and persuasion. And beyond that, there are certain holds and compliance inducing methods that don't rely on constant pain - for example, the one everyone knows, where your arm is bent behind your back - it gives a quick, sharp jab of pain, very good at keeping people under control, but you can keep that hold in place without causing any pain. There is no need for a taser, pepper spray, any of that. You might not remember this, but back in the day, I actually knew most of the cops around where I lived by name - and most of them knew most of the residents. Things went a lot smoother, because they knew what situations to expect. Nowadays they're jumpy because almost every situation is unique or at least involves unknown people. This is why it's important that common sense is instilled during their training - it's possible to induce compliance without violence or anything more than the threat of pain. In fact, there's an entire fucking martial art dedicated to this purpose - aikido. In my mind, there needs to be a reevaluation of the purpose of law enforcement - is it to keep people safe, or keep them disciplined and controlled? I'm not saying cops should be disarmed. But their core philosophy needs some revising.

Can't wait for BLM to claim that the cops are racist because they didn't shoot him because of his skin color.

Christ that video is crazy. Why are cops such pussies, 3 vs 1 can't manage to subdue a drunk guy without beating him up?

>back in my day cops were friendly!
back in the day there was probably unimaginable police abuse that was simply covered up.

as far as pain, the police aren't there to make sure you arent uncomfortable, theyre there to make sure you and the people around you are safe. when they dont know who you are and you're being uncooperative, the fastest way of getting you into cuffs is usually also the safest.
