    As sometimes outside the US, this entire thread is absolutely insane regarding the normalisation and justification for violence in general and tasers specifically

      Are we reading the same thread? Just about everyone in here is criticizing the cop.

        Exactly. I read all of the current comments and only counted one person defending the abuse of power. It was a very vocal person, but just one person.

      I just read every comment on this post and you might be a bit mistaken about how much “normalization and justification for violence” is actually going on here. Everyone, aside from one person (Guydht), is condemning this abuse of force. Everyone.

      Just because that one person was very vocal about their opinion doesn’t mean that there was a plethora is of commenters agreeing with him.

      Edit: typo.

        I mean, just wanted to get a debate going man. Me having a different opinion got me on the legit death list of some people here.

        Also I don’t really know how Lammy’s upvote system works, but I think me only getting -3 “points”(?) means that at least some people also think that wasn’t that much of an abuse of power.

        Also hi mom I’m famous
