Quote:I believe his problem was that they hadn't asked everyone else to pull out their student cards, that he was singled out due to his race. He's claiming racial profiling.
If that is actually true, then I can honestly say that I might very well have done the same thing.
He's claiming racial profiling because that's what his lawyer told him to do. Frankly, this is unimportant to me.
As far as how to restrain him, as Tal asked?
There are numerous ways that a supposedly trained cop can restrain without tazering, killing or breaking bones.... and there were 6 of them. I'm not saying that tazering is inappropriate no matter what, btw. But for this?
I don't think so.
He was wearing a teeshirt, I believe. What, they were afraid he was going to pull explosives out of his butt?
Again, I'm not saying he was right and I'm not saying they should not have restrained him using other means.
As I've said, they have absolute power, or at least they believe so. These guys need to be put to jail. Hopefully without using the completely pathetic race card.
Edit: Tal, you weren't used as a practice dummy in the military, were you? I know the Russian Special Forces used people for that. They were called different things, ranging from Ragdoll, to Gladiator to Volunteer. I did not realize that the US did the same thing ;)Where you a Gladiator, Tal? Oh wait, you'd be dead then.
