Tasering him was still excessive force. It's a near certainty that security people there went through training and signed off on a policy that says the taser is for subduing violent individuals that represent an immediate threat of harm to themselves or others.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
What do you feel would be the appropriate way of subduing in this given situation. I've seen people get tackled doing this kind of thing and I could see there being a much greater potential for long term injury compared to tasering.

I'd also say that any fan that runs on the field has a reasonable expectation to be tackled, as that has been what's happened since the dawn of time. I don't think a fan has a reasonable expectation to be tasered.

I wish that I believed in Fate. I wish I didn't sleep so late. I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders.
