Worthless; of course not, and like it or not we need them in a country of 350 million people. They are dangerous and I don't trust them, but they certainly do better then either anarchy or military law which are the alternatives.

I agree with Jhenry if it was my kids being chased. I would hope someone would have left there comfort zone to help protect them. At least by reporting to the Police what was happening.

The guy with the tazer didn't know what he was up to.
EVERY time you cycle the tazer, going "BZZZZZTT" you're scorching the contacts with thousands of volts of juice. This wear is cumulative and gets more severe with every cycle. Sure hope that clown actually has an effective tazer when he needs it... (Or do I?) That said, OP, IMO you had a good grip on the situation. Highest marks for situational awareness!! |

I would have said something to the 4 kids.
Years ago I was driving down the street on my motorcycle, 4 large guys were piling on a teen boy. I got off the scoot and told my girl to go and call 911 was before cell phones. I got them off that boy, 2 got banged up but what the heck it was a kid in trouble. Cops show up, kid was in a home and tried to run away. Cops told them men they cannot dog pile a kid in an effort to get him back into the building. Awhile before that a couple boys were grabbed and found dead later on, jubert is now dead but that fear was prevailent and on everyones mind. Cops said thanks and I went on my way. |

mnero: In this situation, calling 911 and being interviewed by police, is much different than (rightly or wrongly) being an person of interest.
I completely agree that law enforcement has done many bad things. One of the reasons we know that Tasers and stun guns can be deadly is because of their abuse by law enforcement. But the fact remains that police officers are public servants. As such you as a member of the public should have no fear of calling them. The people who should be fearful are the guys with the stun gun. |
