How much larceny is involved?
Adding salad to other order is what $2.50.
This is some serious crime here.
The power hungry manager should have just let it go and see if the guy does it again.
But calling the police for $2.50.
Should arrest the manager for false police call

The restaurant stamps a number on everyone's hand visible in black light. Now you're just making silly crap up. I've been to this chain a few times and not once was my hand ever stamped.
To: Cultural Jihad
That you would condone tasering a guy in the lap of a woman holding an infant says it all.

Yes, he will be tried in a court of law. MSM rarely reports stories accurately. Going by what I read, LE over reacted. There are children in that restaurant, and they shouldn't have to see that.
Over a salad, a man gets tazered? I want to see if there is anything else to this incident.

Should arrest the manager for false police call. Makes sense to me.
To: Mr. Mojo
So your solution is to just fight with the guy right there amongst the kids? Have you ever moved an unwilling person through a doorway?

abuses of our "representatives"..? Please explain.
The police are employees of the citizens of this nation. Our laws are enacted by elected representatives. Similarly, the police are our law enforcement representatives. Any lawsuit that will arise from this is going to be against not just the individual police officers but the department as well. If the department loses the case then the payment will come from our taxes...so in a very real sense the legal system views policemen as official representatives of the people.
I would like to reiterate my caveat from my previous post you were responding to, which was that IF this account is accurate...but given the poor quality of our media that is never a given.

Excellent point.
I wouldn't leave my kids either.
I know the cops were just doing their job,but did they have to poke him in the chest,push him into someones lap and then taser him on that persons lap,I think not.
I agree with the poster that said that there is not enough info,but it still doesn't give a cop the right to poke some one while investigating.
IMO,the cop wanted to provoke the man into aggression.
To: Mr. Mojo
The man apparently became violent in a crowd of families. That in itself is dangerous for all concerned, and control needed to be established quickly before he lashed out to hurt anyone. Would you have wanted the police to shoot him instead?

The salad is the only edible dish at Chuck E. Cheese.
To: esryle
Gale was arrested for investigation of disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and trespassing. It'll bode well for the zap vic that he wasnt charged with petty larceny - I can only surmise that a recpt for him and the kids was found post arrest
In which case I'd lawyer up big and fast and start demanding fun things like youll drop suit if the DA kisses my butt on Main St.
To: r9etb
The key words. Is this report accurate? I'm thinking no -- there's probably a lot more to the story than Ms. Mayo's account provides. Having seen what the media does to stories I know something about, I don't trust the media to report accurately, especially on stories like this one. Exactly, which is why I provided a caveat. The story was from a single "witness" which seems odd in a large restaurant full of people.

There were plenty of solutions other than tasering the guy so close to that infant. If they couldn't drag him out the door of the joint they could've at least got him off that woman's lap and handcuffed him on the floor. ....And if they couldn't, they're worthless as LEOs.

Note to Parents (continued),
Remember to bring hearing protection. Noise level inside Chuck E. Cheese exceeds 120db.

Over a salad, a man gets tazered?
There was the militia nutcase Me-ocrat in Ohio who was speeding one day and pulled over by the police. He refused to hand over his driver's license, and drove off, mumbling that there's a maritime fringe on the land-based flag, and therefore all laws are unconstimatooshal do not apply to him. The police chased. He eventually bailed out of his car with his guns blaring, and killed an officer before he himself was shot dead. The usual anti-cop hystericals wailed that "the poor man was killed by the police simply because he was driving his car!"

"I've been to this chain a few times and not once was my hand ever stamped." They do in every one I have been in. Every family gets a different numbered stamp.

Where does it say that the man became violent?
I didn't read that in the article.
To: L98Fiero
Would you step outside and leave your children, alone and unsupervised, in a Chuck E. Cheese?
I sure as Hell wouldn't.
