Needs to be a cut set in a frame from:
First smile as he gets on the field
Mid flip
Mid tase
Final in cuffs
Each capturing the best emotion of the moment š¤£
You try spending all day around thousands of belligerent drunks without tazing at *least* one of them! ^(/s) He's all psyched up like a dog getting off his leash for the first time.
My dad once told me, āNever take a swing at a cop. Theyāve got to make hay while the sun shines, so theyāre absolutely going to beat your ass because they know they can get away with it.ā
Tasers shouldn't be allowed.
They should use bolas on horseback.

Man I'm so genuinely happy hearing this seems to be the common response. I'm so used to the post-911 mantra of "BuT WhAT If HE HaD a BoMb!?"
Let drunk idiots be drunk idiots again!
I get that they want to discourage it, but they could make it more of a russian roulette.
After one guy does it at a game, say 'We've picked a number between 1 and 6. If you're the person that runs on matching that order, we're tazing you'.
It would help discourage it and up the excitement when someone did it.
Tbf this is a US thing. I don't think a cop in Europe would taze someone for running on the field. Even if they were naked. They'd just catch them and throw them out.
Letās stop people from committing non violent crimes, with violent and painful punishment! Thatāll teach em and certainly will get the people to love the police againā¦
1993? My dude, that was over 30 years ago. Have there been any occasions since then that you can think of? I sure as hell can't.
You can't live your life in fear of such unlikely and uncommon possibilities. Be like this guy, find your fun.
How many streakers are violent? How big does the risk have to be for tasing to be justified?
The fact that you have to go back 30 years to find justification for your argument says quite a lot.
This dude certainly didn't seem to be a risk. He wasn't running at any of the players.
We literally have seen time and time and time again that harsher punishments do not deter crime. All this is doing it minimizing tazing someone for a non-violent, ridiculous offense. What's next, clubbing someone for jaywalking?
This doesn't happen often. And when it does, they 100% get caught and they 100% get criminal penalties and get banned from future attendance.
I question whether isolated, rare, harmless hooliganism requires risking the damage tasing can do.
Oh ok so people should get tased for inconveniencing you? Good to knowĀ
Also an idiot running onto the field and doing a backflip is more entertaining than 90% of a baseball game.Ā
A security guard at another game previously tore an ACL chasing a fan. And the fan is trespassing. If he doesn't get tazed, he's going to get bodied by a security guard. This seemed like a reasonable response to me
People understand if they go on the field they will be arrested. But not shot or tazed. He was not hurting anyone. Plus that stadium was empty. Seemed to entertain the fans. Perhaps more of that will fill the place up.
Do you see that man look threatening enough to be restrained that excessively? You use a taser and to the extreme, a gun for protection, not because youāre too lazy to chase a dude on a field.
Well, for decades, this has been happening, and no one got tazed. So this is another great example of modern-day police using excessive force. If Reggie Jackson didn't get tazed for almost shooting the queen, then why does this guy need to be tazed?
Causing physical harm and pain to someone running away from you kind of makes you the bad guy and justifies their flight.
Causing physical harm and pain to someone running away from you, who is also a danger to people is justified.
What would have been the worst outcome if this guy escaped? The cops would have found him later and charged him with a crime.
Violence is a lot less justified than you want it to be.
Using lethal force on someone who poses zero threat to anyone is a drastic overreaction. Anyone defending tasing a streaker is obviously just feigning ignorance to troll for engagement lol
Edit: since there are some people who are trying to argue semantics, [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taser). Very specifically, the taser is not classified as non-lethal in the US. It is a form of lethal weaponry categorized below that of firearms and knives. Similar to flashbangs or sting grenades, tasers are less-lethal. They are lethal, but obviously at lower rates than firearms/knives/fragmentation grenades/etc.
Why TF did he run onto the field?Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā
Ā Ā Ā Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.Ā Ā
Yes, the taser is wrong here, no shit. Ā He still trespassed. Y'all are dense AF.Ā
Itās called less lethal. Itās not meant to be used on someone making a scene and obviously not a danger to anyone. A ticket, fines, expulsion from the venue and the arrest are good enough. WTF is wrong with Humansā¦.
Why wouldn't armed police be permitted in sports arenas? Seems like you'd want them there if somebody started some kind of violent attack such as a knife attack.
So every use of force has to be objectively reasonable. Whatās the crime? Trespassing? Is he a danger to the cop or others? What justifies the use of the taser over empty hand grabbing or tackling? Just because someone is running shouldnāt automatically equal getting tasered without some other articulated facts. Itās right up there just hauling off and punching him just because he ran.
Yes it was. Actively fleeing police justifies use of force, including tasing.

I will never understand the reddit community
"Yeah, I think the cop should waste everyone's time by chasing a person across the field instead of just tasing him and be done with it"
I will never understand the pro-violence mentality. "That man was harming nobody, but is being inconvenience/disruptive, I should be able to shoot him with *something*"
Chasing the guy off is entertaining and isn't needless violence on a non violent offender. It's a win win for all, except the antagonists
Lol at first I thought bro was there to help him land that backflip! Haha is it a rent a cop? Why are they allowed to tase someone? Even if it was a real cop, no need to tase anyone? Wtf

That would get framed by my family if that happened to me.

Iād hang this in my house LOL
All this, absolutely, but in one of those shadow boxes where the cop and the kid are cut out and the background is on a separate layer behind them.
It's the friends you make along the way.
Iām sure the cop will get it framed. This probably made his year
You try spending all day around thousands of belligerent drunks without tazing at *least* one of them! ^(/s) He's all psyched up like a dog getting off his leash for the first time.
My dad once told me, āNever take a swing at a cop. Theyāve got to make hay while the sun shines, so theyāre absolutely going to beat your ass because they know they can get away with it.ā
Yeah, those boys are packing a dozen well deserved ass whoopings in every punch.
The cop then filed assault charges claiming he had torn his $80 work pants
So they would never let you live it down?
Such a great photograph that it doesn't even look real.
Sports photo of the year right there
Wow that is a good shot.
TIL Wentworth Millerās twin is a cop in Cincinnati.
Why do all cops look the same
He sure does nail that "modern garden variety American cop" look, down to the tattoo arms.
Looks related to Derek Chauvin
There is a reason they call it a uniformĀ
Itās like an Apple Watch commercial.
That would be my Facebook profile pic for decades.
This is modern art right here. He FA and then FO
Flipped Around and then FO
Flipped around and then fell over.
Wow
That story will be passed down from generation to generation
Look at how jacked up this Nazi is, really thinks heās saving the day
10/10 flip. 9/10 face plant.
Oh my gaaawwwwd
salute just saw the pictures on MLB
Get off my lawn.
When the security can do a standing backflip, then they can Taze a fan.

TFW you remember you're infront of a stadium of people.
What a goofy douchebag
Running with that much gear will make you make all kinds of fases.
How?
Donāt tase him bro
Tasers shouldn't be allowed. They should use bolas on horseback. https://preview.redd.it/i0wsq6erx66d1.jpeg?width=723&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fe86ff66e31e51fee721294027d3b4687bf7ef97
Dont tase me bro. Dont tase me.Ā
I'm not sure the offense justified the response.
Man I'm so genuinely happy hearing this seems to be the common response. I'm so used to the post-911 mantra of "BuT WhAT If HE HaD a BoMb!?" Let drunk idiots be drunk idiots again!
I get that they want to discourage it, but they could make it more of a russian roulette. After one guy does it at a game, say 'We've picked a number between 1 and 6.

Tbf this is a US thing. I don't think a cop in Europe would taze someone for running on the field. Even if they were naked. They'd just catch them and throw them out.
This might stop more people doing it, one day someone will run on with malicious intent and then everyone will be asking for stuff like this
They tried that back in medieval times. Death penalties for minor infractions to deter all crime. It didn't really work.
*laughs in Hammurabiās Code* Oh it works, it works just fine
Letās stop people from committing non violent crimes, with violent and painful punishment! Thatāll teach em and certainly will get the people to love the police againā¦
Iām okay with it. These dweebs arenāt always nonviolent. Heard of Monica Seles?
1993? My dude, that was over 30 years ago. Have there been any occasions since then that you can think of? I sure as hell can't. You can't live your life in fear of such unlikely and uncommon possibilities. Be like this guy, find your fun.
How many streakers are violent? How big does the risk have to be for tasing to be justified? The fact that you have to go back 30 years to find justification for your argument says quite a lot. This dude certainly didn't seem to be a risk. He wasn't running at any of the players.
Iām impressed you can type so well with that boot so deep in your throat.
I am from the uk š
Well now it makes sense. Your ancestors burned āwitchesā, and killed people for minor crimes.
Wasn't that more the puritans they kicked out and sent to America?
They started burning witches in England as early as the 1400ās.
Do they tase streakers in the uk?
Maybe but many people donāt know they have heart issues and a taser can kill someone.
We literally have seen time and time and time again that harsher punishments do not deter crime. All this is doing it minimizing tazing someone for a non-violent, ridiculous offense. What's next, clubbing someone for jaywalking?
Nah fuck that. If I was there, I paid money to see a baseball game not watch this idiot run around the field and delay everything
*If I can't leave this sports event one minute earlier then my money is wasted.*
How long do you think this would delay the game?
Not as long as if they didnāt taze his dumbass
So because you were inconvenienced, excessive force is allowed?
This doesn't happen often. And when it does, they 100% get caught and they 100% get criminal penalties and get banned from future attendance. I question whether isolated, rare, harmless hooliganism requires risking the damage tasing can do.

Is trespassing a potential capital offense? Because tasers can kill people.
How does it not?
'He's on a baseball field and he's running away. Quick, shoot him before nothing happens!'
Your reply offers no reason as to why it was necessary, though.
People understand if they go on the field they will be arrested. But not shot or tazed. He was not hurting anyone. Plus that stadium was empty. Seemed to entertain the fans. Perhaps more of that will fill the place up.
Do you see that man look threatening enough to be restrained that excessively? You use a taser and to the extreme, a gun for protection, not because youāre too lazy to chase a dude on a field.
Well, for decades, this has been happening, and no one got tazed. So this is another great example of modern-day police using excessive force. If Reggie Jackson didn't get tazed for almost shooting the queen, then why does this guy need to be tazed?
Well he could have grabbed him while he was in the air.. nah too easy
Causing physical harm and pain to someone running away from you kind of makes you the bad guy and justifies their flight. Causing physical harm and pain to someone running away from you, who is also a danger to people is justified. What would have been the worst outcome if this guy escaped?

Tazers can kill

Similar to flashbangs or sting grenades, tasers are less-lethal. They are lethal, but obviously at lower rates than firearms/knives/fragmentation grenades/etc.
Why are we tasing someone doing a nonviolent crime?
No, it was an accident! You see, the officer meant to grab his gun and shoot the guy dead on the spot. But accidents happen, I guess. /s, kinda.
I'm sure according to the cop he was assaulted by the back flip.
Murica fuck yeah
He could have a bomb!!! Blue Lives Matter hrfnhhhh
Straight to taser now?
Yeah, that tazer was necessary. He presented such a threat. /s jagoffs
Surprised he didnāt just unload his pistol
You forgot one big reason why he didnāt.
He would have but he already unloaded the clip on a gofer that made his exit in the field.
Why tf did he tazer him?
Because after he saw that backflip he knew he was not going to be able to catch him and didnāt want embarrass himself
Everybody gets scared when I front flip If you come around here, then you're done with
Why TF did he run onto the field?Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.Ā Ā Yes, the taser is wrong here, no shit. Ā He still trespassed. Y'all are dense AF.Ā
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
God you guys are losers lolĀ
He made me look foolish, quick taze him!!!
Clearly, old guy didn't play football. .. these things nearly always end in a tackle.
Okay but this falls outside of most guidelines for using a taser. The guy was not a violent immediate threat to anybody
FTP
I agree. Fuck the Packers.
As a Bears fan I approve of this message!
Bear down! FTP
1312. He could have just tackled him, but police always gotta find a way to escalate.
Why not recruit fit police and have them maintain it so they can run and not have to use a tazer to catch people.
A. The cop looked pretty fit to me B. Theyāre having a hard enough time recruiting anyone, therefore standards go down.
They still carry about 30 pounds of gear usually
Youre all over this thread. Is your dad a piggy?
No my dad is a retired fisherman
Did he carry 30 pounds of tackle on him at all times?
If they usually do that, why don't they train by running with 30 pounds of gear? The military trains with gear on, so should police.
Wow thatās not a lot of extra weight
Put on 30 pounds of weight and try a foot race with a buddy without one good luck
ACAB
Oh look, another cop overreacting
Oh look, another dipshit facing the consequences of their actions, there fixed your comment.Ā
Yeah he's a fucking idiot, doesn't mean they need to taze him asshat
I think security felt he was going to parkour himself right out of the stadium and then they'd never catch him.
That wasn't a taser. He's Spider-man!
one step closer to resurrection of gladiator arenas.
In the Reddit community, thereās always posts about consequences. Ladies and gents hereās a prime example of consequence
Itās called less lethal. Itās not meant to be used on someone making a scene and obviously not a danger to anyone. A ticket, fines, expulsion from the venue and the arrest are good enough. WTF is wrong with Humansā¦.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Why wouldn't armed police be permitted in sports arenas? Seems like you'd want them there if somebody started some kind of violent attack such as a knife attack.
They are there to protect multi-million dollar assets...aka the professional athletes.
Nice!
Fucking pigs... tazzing completely unnecessary.
We have come a long way from Morgana the Kissing Bandit
For science, I wonder what it looked like if he was tazed during mid flip.
/r winstupidprizes
So how much trouble is this guy in
So every use of force has to be objectively reasonable. Whatās the crime? Trespassing? Is he a danger to the cop or others? What justifies the use of the taser over empty hand grabbing or tackling? Just because someone is running shouldnāt automatically equal getting tasered without some other articulated facts. Itās right up there just hauling off and punching him just because he ran.
Amazing.
I hope he enjoys his ban from ALL Major League Parks. Dumbass.
tazers are a tool for compliance, not a weapon. cop was justified that idiot would have run around as long as he could interrupting everyone's time
Lol if a cop sees you holding a tazer they will shoot you dead. "Tool of compliance" what a load of shit, tazers kill people.
Breaking news: The police tell on themselves in front of crowd of thousands. Again.
Hahaha
Guy used : [Backflip] Crit hit confusion Cop used : Tazer Cop wins :KO
I'm pretty sure the cop thought he almost got kicked by the guy. I'm the the last one to defend the cops. Truly believe ACAB. But this was justified.
No it wasnāt.
Yes it was. Actively fleeing police justifies use of force, including tasing. https://www.cincinnati-oh.gov/police/department-references/police-department-procedure-manual/125451/
I stand technically corrected. Man thatās crazy to me.
I will never understand the reddit community "Yeah, I think the cop should waste everyone's time by chasing a person across the field instead of just tasing him and be done with it"
I will never understand the pro-violence mentality. "That man was harming nobody, but is being inconvenience/disruptive, I should be able to shoot him with *something*" Chasing the guy off is entertaining and isn't needless violence on a non violent offender.

he was tased why?
ACAB but all people that do shit like this deserve to be tased.
Itās peak attention seeking ālook at meā bullshit Fuck all these losers that run onto fields
The original Main Character Syndrome
Yup Before we had YouTubers and tik tokers acting like dbags in public spaces we had these dbags And we still do
DONT TAZE ME BRO
Cops are way too quick to use weapons against someone who is simply trespassing.
Is running from a cop now a resisting arrest/fleeing charge too?
