Thumbs down Cops tazer Phillies fan running on the field

Another sign of arrogant cops who are simply mad at someone who can outrun their lazy donut eating asses. Tazering someone who is just pulling a harmless stunt? Seriously?


PHILADELPHIA -- A police officer used a Taser gun to apprehend a fan who ran onto the field during a Phillies game Monday night, and the team and the police are investigating whether it was an appropriate use of force.

The fan, wearing a baseball cap, red T-shirt and khaki shorts, hopped a fence and scurried around the outfield, eluding two security officers in the bottom of the eighth inning against the St. Louis Cardinals. One officer used a Taser and the fan went down in a heap. Several Phillies placed gloves over their faces and appeared to be stifling laughter at the wild scene.

Phillies spokeswomen Bonnie Clark said the police department is investigating the matter and discussing with the team whether using the stun gun was appropriate.

Police spokesman Lt. Frank Vanore told The Philadelphia Inquirer police internal affairs will open an investigation to determine if the firing "was proper use of the equipment."

Vanore was not made available to The Associated Press when a call was placed to the police department's public affairs office late Monday night.

The teams said it's the first time a Taser has been used by police to apprehend a spectator who ran onto the field.

The fan was a 17-year-old male and he will be charged with criminal trespass and related offenses, the team said. The Phillies did not release his name because he is a juvenile.

Aren't fans running on the field just kind of a fun part of Baseball that makes people smile?

Cop should be murdered in front of his family with electricity.

Yeah, that sounds fair. 5 seconds of electricity = death penalty. Jeez people act like a taser is the same as a bullet

Hey, don't abuse your power and you won't have anything to worry about.

See what I did there? I took the police state mantra and turned it around.
