Physically restraining someone is a degree of force. Under your system, if a person were to run out onto the field it would be functionally impossible to remove them until they harmed someone in some way, since police wouldn't even be allowed to touch him. Police would be stuck repeatedly asking him to leave, which probably wouldn't do much.


Obviously, running out onto the field would be a enough ('fullfill the requirement', to use my previous definition) to physically restrain and even tackle an individual. Running onto the field is not enough to warrant the taser though.


Why? I asked for statistics that showed if tasers were more likely to cause lasting harm than being tackled earlier in this thread and no one answered me. Do you have such statistics? Because if a taser hasn't been proven to be more likely to cause lasting harm than a tackle, I don't see your point. If you do have such statistics on the other hand, I'll agree with you that this situation wasn't worth the added chance of lasting injury.

Are you seriously comparing tasering to tackling? People have died from tasers but not from tackles.


Wrong. A doorman in my city pushed a guy down and he died. It was that easy. I expect that it wasn't the first time someting so simple has happened.
