OHNOES!!!!!! 45 seconds gone!
:censure: outta here....
It's not really a matter of simply wasting time, it's purposely and pointlessly trying to instigate trouble. How far can you take it until it becomes not funny? Instead of a cop, is it still funny if it's in front of an elementary school? Or in front of your house?
Let's say for a minute that there was a guy that was pissing in your yard, right in front of your front door, and your kid was home. If a cop came up and grabbed him by the shoulder, you'd be pretty happy that the cop was doing his job right? Same if you were eating with the girl at a street side cafe and someone started pissing next to your table. And if the cop didn't do a damn thing? Holy shit I'm sure you'd shit a brick.
So you take that situation, make it look EXACTLY LIKE THAT and expect the cop to perform differently? Are you fucking retarded? This seems to be happening more and more often. How many other professions are there where there are serious consequences for bad judgement, and yet there are tons of people trying to fuck with the workers, trying to get them to screw up on purpose?
I'm not saying that there aren't asshole cops, I've dealt with my share, but some of the shit they have to deal with is ridiculous. As I've said before, after a certain age rebelling against authority for no reason other than that it is an authority isn't cool, it's not funny, it's just immature. Not that I don't see the humor in it from a 12 year old's perspective, but that's about all it is - a dumb prank. I didn't find it particularly funny, and certainly not worth being mad about how the cop handled it. The guy doesn't deserved to get tased, but I wouldn't complain about him getting fined for being an idiot.
