"lol, I'd like to see you stand up after you have been tased. Thats like convicting someone of failure to breath after they have drowned."

Drowning and being tazed is not a solid comparison. Being tazed generally results in momentary loss of muscle control and a fair amount of pain. Drowning usually results in death.

Standing after being tazed is not really that unrealistic especially when the cops were trying to pull him up.

Actually you are correct - there are videos of cops and reporters being tased all over the internet (plus plenty of reading material) - I just watched three videos - the effects are over within seconds.

gee... no kidding?

You don't know if he could stand or not, and neither did the UCP. Generally speaking would you say tasering someone so they momentarily lose muscle control is a good way to facilitate someones standing up?

No? I didn't think so. So why were the UCP doing it? I suspect they were angry at the punk for acting like a punk.

The UCP needed to step back and realize they were being baited into reacting with violence. They acted very unprofessionally.
