Remember how, a few weeks back at a John Kerry speech, police tasered a University of Florida student for being annoying? Well, the government announced today that it investigated itself and has cleared itself of all charges. Thank goodness that’s taken care of!
My favorite quote from the article: “‘They should have beat him with some batons while they were at it,’ Kaster [a UF student and religion major] said.”
So, according to Kaster, it’s okay not only to taser obnoxious people, but also to beat the hell out of them with sticks. I am curious whether she would change her opinion if she were to get a taste of her own medicine.

I believe that everyone should be tasered, beat with batons, and/or suffer from the minor inconvenience of a rendition and waterboard episode at least once in their life. It is important that we don’t encourage the growth of “softies” in this country. I admire people who know the value of a good ol’ dose of police brutality, it fosters respect for authority and discipline. The “don’t tase me bro” learned a valuable lesson, we should all be so lucky.
