I also like when they almost catch the guy and he changes directions at the last second and it keeps going. Tasers rob us of both. It does seems like excess caused by laziness. When did being shot with electricity become the punishment for interrupting a baseball game? I guess Jeter better watch his back the next time he he steps out of the box to futz with his gloves. And Swisher might want to rethink fouling off so many pitches.<br /><br />I thought Tasers were supposed to replace lethal force, now it seems like they get used just for the heck of it.Jon Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15622111996207578594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315155203706829641.post-88668066448849333662010-05-04T11:09:07.916-07:002010-05-04T11:09:07.916-07:00I'm with you on the Times, Daily News, and Pos...I'm with you on the Times, Daily News, and Post, Uncle Mike. Well said.<br /><br />What about non-vicious dogs, Rich? You know, dogs trained to subdue but not kill. It would make the chase more interesting. I do find the running onto the field annoying, but the tackle at the end is the best part. Tasers take that away, and that's unfair to the paying viewer.Roberto E.

A city's fittest cops should not be at a baseball game anyway. Here's something I agree with Joe West on: running onto the field is a stupid way to delay a game and I'm fine with any way to dissuade it short of guns and vicious dogs.Rich Mahoganyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17078545531672950308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315155203706829641.post-59657993039137005592010-05-04T10:27:01.719-07:002010-05-04T10:27:01.719-07:00Pedro's hurt?

Remember how they congratulated the Red Sox for defeating the Yankees and winning the Pennant -- in 2003, a year too early as it turned out? And a few months later, said John Kerry had taken Dick Gephardt as his running mate, about 12 hours before it was announced as John Edwards? (If only the Post had been right.)<br /><br />The Post is owned by Rupert Murdoch. If sensationalism weren't possible, Murdoch would have been out of business years ago. If you want credibility, go to the Times, or the Daily News, or the Star-Ledger, or to some guy who's been writing a Yankee Fan blog for less than 3 years. (Toot, toot.) If you want headlines, and don't particularly care about the quality of the journalism between the front and back pages, go to the Post.<br /><br />I've said it many times: The Times is the face New York likes to show the rest of the world; the Daily News is the face New York likes to show itself; and the Post is a face only a mother could love.Uncle Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11618876073064128027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315155203706829641.post-51170812285972737212010-05-04T09:31:49.450-07:002010-05-04T09:31:49.450-07:00I read that earlier.

On the other, even if it was done within departmental guidelines, it seems excessive. Particularly since tasers are not always non-lethal in their effects. It's frankly just lazy stadium security. You used to be expected to run after guys who came on the field, now you just get within tasering distance.Roberto E.
