Hilarious Torture
by digby
I don’t think I’m going to write anything about tasers anymore. The ship has sailed and it’s clearly a waste of time. Since I started writing about them they’ve officially become a form of entertainment, where sick pieces of work scream “tase him, tase him!” and laugh uproariously at the sight of a security guard police officer administering electroshock torture to some kid who runs onto a baseball field.
Here’s a sample of the comments from the Youtube:

This culture is morally hopeless.
And its people apparently just can’t wait to become a real police state:
The overwhelming majority of Americans think the country’s immigration policies need to be seriously overhauled. And despite protests against Arizona’s stringent new immigration enforcement law, a majority of Americans support it, even though they say it may lead to racial profiling.
Real Americans don little tri-corner hats and carry on about “freedom” and “the constitution” but all they know about either one is what they learned at Disneyland. They are paranoid about a non-existent invasion of killer immigrants and are freaking out about a non-existent plan to send gun owners to Fema camps. They threaten to kill census workers who ask them how many times they flush their toilets.
But torture? Not a problem. Whether it’s administered by the CIA or some minimum wage security guard, they seem to think electric shock, waterboarding or any other sick form of coercion worthy of the worst low rent dictator in the world is just ducky. But only if the subject is unarmed. If anyone tried this with a guy who was packing, the screams of horror at “the government” trying to disarm a law abiding citizen would be heard for miles around. I give up.
