Tasered?

The video and and pictures of the kid that got tasered after running on the field at a Phillies game are national news.  I find it a bit disturbing to watch personally.  Do I think the kid was being an idiot for running on to the field? Yep, for sure.  Did he need to be tasered? Absolutely not.

People have been running on to the field for decades yet somehow security always managed to handle it without injecting the individual with several thousand volts of electricity.  Sure tackle the kid, handcuff him but don’t shock him for cripes sake.  Philly fans have a bad enough rap as is.
