- Well you really should see the entire tape, like when RK (who is a fairly
- large fellow) with 2 tazers stuck in him stands up and charges one of the cops,
- Yes I can say that they may have been in some fear for their saftey. Then again
- I remember very well the lessons that I recieved in Night Stick, and this BIG
- old Gunnery Sargent saying, "Now I don't EVER want to hear that one on my people
- hit anyone in the head with one of these (waves a riot stick around) things".
-
- My contention is that (1) The cops were a least a bit scared, and (2) they
- over reacted quite a bit.
