Is the purpose of the Taser to disable people who are verbally combative? The Taser is suppose to be a less-than-lethal alternative application of force. Could anyone argue that the next level of force to remove a drunk fan and unarmed fan would be to shoot him?

Don't get carried away here. The immediate goal of the police was to get him to leave the venue. He refused to comply.

ZAP! ZAP!! Any questions?

Perhaps there should have been tasers at the game I went to last Sunday.
Sheffield Wednesday lost and are now relegated. Twice, Wednesday fans invaded the pitch, kicking and punching the opposing players as they ran for the safety of the tunnel. Some idiots were chanting “kill em, kill em”. If half a dozen of them had got shocks then the pitch would have been cleared in seconds.
However, human rights groups call tasers “cruel and inhumane”, but these fans have the choice of staying in the stands. If they run on to a playing area they should be tasered, which Im sure a lot of freepers would pay good money to watch!
