I seriously doubt that, based on the amount of pain he was in. Perhaps he was the first time, but I doubt he was after that. The article suggests he might not have been able to move anyway, but I don't know if theres any truth to that.

EDIT: I'd also far rather be beaten with a club than shot with a taser.

I'm not too sure about that.  In Act II, Scene 4 - Bruin Tazing, The Return, our protagonist is once again faced with a monumental decision.  Does little Jimmy decide to leave quietly or does he have a run in with Mr. Sparky.

He chose Sparky. 

At one point he gets up and struggles with the cops, getting sort of violent.  He throws his weight around a bit, and gets zapped.  I wouldn't of sparked him for that, but then again, the guy got zapped four times before that and still had some fight in him.  So how active was he before he got tazed, and how active was he before he got Sparked?  He was pretty geared up for being zapped so much

holy crap, those officers are really abusing their rights
it makes me think about all those vids ive seen about american policemen beating people up for no reason...

""god bless america""  ,yeah right

What in god's name have the netherlands done? I can't think of anything.  Oh yeah. Power to the guys with the tazer.  If that guy doesn't want to obey, make sure he does after his lesson.

Here's the video:

WARNING!This movie is loud and has foul language, so its definitely not safe for work.

The on-lookers should have beat those cops to death.  You should never give a retard(s) a badge and a weapon.

Retards or not, if you resist an officer's commands, it's their discretion to use force to make you comply.  If we don't have this power in law enforcement, then it would get ugly.

And after watching this twice now, i'm kinda glad the punk got tazed..at least the first time.  the cops should have gotten their adrenaline rush satisfaction and simply dragged him out to the car..but no, they had to have more.

yeah, that was a little far.  Sure he could have cooperated but:

1. Id be cussing pissed too if I got tasered for lack of a damn library card.
2. How eager would ANYONE be to get up after having a few thousand volts ran through thier body. That's like blasting me in the nuts with a hammer and telling me to walk it off! yeah right!

His babble about the Patriot act was lame, he was being a bit agressive, but still the rent-a-cops were on an action high and went too far.

I tazed myself before (dont ask) and yes, it sucked.  But at least I knew not to do it again, and go with what was happening.

That guys a dumbass, he should have shown he's ID card.

haha, me and a friend had stun guns in high school, and one day, in his home, bored and well fed, we decided to play with our stun guns.  i popped myself in the thigh (highest ohm resistence area onthe body) and thought it was cool to see my leg spasm for that split second.  then he did it to himself.  we then kept doing it longer to see how long we could stand it.  neither of us lasted more than half a second..  then we started tagging each other and running around his house laughing and yelling "STOP ASSHOLE!!!" as we kept on frying each other.  we only went for the legs because we were to scared to hit each other somewhere center mass or in the head.  was pretty fun..but damn it hurt.  I'd hate to have two metal hooks pierce my skin..and then have current going into my body...that'd be 100x more painful then our leg tests!..and for 5 seconds?  hell no!

YOU WERENT THER AND YOU DONT KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON.   generally when something happens that makes people uncomfortablee or upset, the situation is hyperbolized and altered.

But that is the beauty of video; I don't have to be there to see what occured. You can not hyperbolize an uncut, unedited video of an event. Likewise, you can not edit an unedited video, in case it was not self explanitory enough.

A little side tip for life: Paragraphs. Learn them. Love them. For the love of God, use them.

first off the last thing that any officer needs ina icident situation, whether you like what you see or not, is for some piece of shit citizen who is not involved come up to the officer with the " i want your name and badge number " crap.  that is the fastest way to find out who is truely in chagre of the scene.

Thankfully for the rest of the cognitive population, you are not an administrative figure. It is every citizens right to question an officer's actions. That is why there is an entire Internal Affairs department of law enforcement. As with all people, the officers are innocent until proven guilty. However, to sit back, give all officer carte blanche power is quite possibly the stupidest thing I could imagine. The idea actually pains me, physically and democratically. If the officers did nothing wrong, there would be no call for their information. If a mad man was running through a mall with a gun and the police arrested them, no soccer mom is going to demand his badge number. I should get on a plane, fly to LA, track down every singe student that demanded an explaination from those officers, and shake their hands. Not because they did the civil thing, the right thing to do, but because they were not you Badshot.

What the fuck did the cops think he'd do? Throw a copy of Great Expectations at them?

the police were totally justified in their actions.  period.  i haven't seen such a collection of angry liberals in my entire life.  i probably would have been throwing punches in that library.
