    Medical staff do it routinely.

    In Florida, medical staff also call "Baker Act" at the drop of a hat which basically puts the offender in a psych ward which is often more abusive than a prison.

      So you think beating the shit out of someone is better than tasing them?

      Let's see: do we want to see Daddy all beat up and bloody for a few days while he recovers / detoxes in jail, or do we want a nice tidy closed casket?

        Honestly I think in this case the cops responded as they should. They tried teasing him and that didn’t do anything and then he tried to take a rifle from them. At that point they didn’t have a lot of options.

        Bullshit, man.

        Clock the dude with the handle of a pistol in his head.

        Kick him in the balls.

        Run away from him.

        Blind him.

        Not that I agree with some of those options, but my point is, executing a man who clearly needs help ain't it

            If they aren't in Europe why would they care if it is GDPR compliant?

            I'm probably overthinking this

              Run away. Great idea, now there's somebody undergoing a psychotic episode and acting violently running around with an assault rifle.

                  What if they were meth alligators, and the bites are why he's high? Then it's that much more tragic for you to judge.

                          I didn't say the person got ahold of the rifle. That would be stupid.

                            A witness told detectives they saw the suspect run at deputies with the shears. He was tased twice, but it didn't stop him.

                            Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said he climbed into the passenger side of a PCSO patrol vehicle, trying to get a deputy’s rifle.

                            That’s when two deputies, identified as a trainee and his trainer, opened fire on the suspect, killing him.

                              The ACAB brainrot is so pervasive that people are defaulting to reflexive posts that mean jack shit, and pay no attention to the actual context anymore.

                                Classic cop shit. Show up after all the drama is over. Makes it worse.

                                There is only one bigger waste of money than cops. And that's the Military. We have nukes. Fuckin' try it. Go 'head. I'll pull the fuckin' temple down on all of us.

                                  Gotta train them to kill young. Or when their brain is fully developed they'll think about it. Someone would have died anyway. If not this guy then some poor black kid probably.

                                    GDPR most likely.

                                    It's less effort to geoblock europe than to make sure their site complies. Also their website isn't for europeans, so they have no reason to put in any effort to make it work.

                                    Technically fine explanation but I'd add that it's actually not less effort to be compliant, they would just have to stop fucking tracking their visitors and they don't want to. Problem is surveillance capitalism ruining our internet, not regions having privacy laws protecting their citizens

                                      If you look up "failing up" in the dictionary, there is a picture of Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd staring back at you with his dead, dead eyes.

                                          Dude clearly needed mental health assistance not the cops. How about you take the boot out of your mouth and go back to X with this shit?
