Police need to be made to fear the law. Until they do they will continue to be sadistic monsters.

Can we do three strikes policies on police? Any violation of a law counts to the total and sends you to life in prison? And failing to report a violation is an automatic strike for everyone that didn't report it? I'm tired of cops getting off easy and working a county over and getting a raise for their "suffering".
They should be held to anhigher standard.
Two strikes if the first was an understandable misunderstanding.
The law? No, those motherfuckers need to learn to fear the people they ‘serve’ and ‘protect’.
Oh, they do. They serve and protect the ownership class, not the labor class. There was nobody there they cared about, or worked for.
This is one of those situations where there was no need for a police interaction at all, let alone a violent or forceful one.
I’m sorry, I might still be confused… did he get arrested and tazed for just continuing to conduct the band? Why were the police even stopping him? This seems insane.
Cops wanted to go home. Cops can't go home till everyone leaves. People are staying because band is still playing. Cops throw tantrum.
I guess they were done abusing their overtime and didn't want actual overtime into their personal time.
Yes, and the police wanted everyone to leave immediately after the football game.
Which is bizarre. I've never heard of a football stadium just instantly shutting everything down after the game. There's always post-game entertainment, opportunities for the opposing teams to shake hands, sometimes some announcements, that sort of thing.
Utterly ridiculous, power-tripping cops. I hope he takes them to the cleaners.
The cops, who I'm guessing are lying as usual, claimed he shoved one of them. Which, of course, is totally a reason to use a taser.
Cops: Why do people hate us?
Also Cops: OP
We live in a police state change my mind? Police are nothing but thugs.

In many places if you’re found guilty of committing a crime and it’s “gang related” then the consequences go up. I think the same should happen to cops.
I’m not talking about the actions that can be debated, I’m talking about the ones where a fool did something egregious like tase a teacher for not obeying unnecessary instructions.
The cops are a gang. Just a legal one.
This is just wild.
This is America.
That's childish, Gambino.
Hmm, I wonder if there were ever a group of people in history, who committed atrocities, and said they were just "following orders." Who could they be? It's a head scratcher.
Are you comparing the band teacher to Nazi’s?
I meant the cops but i should have been more clear.
The cops aren't following orders, they do those atrocious things on their own.
