@TheWerewolf - Causing headlines!:
Technically, according to the article, he was completely naked.
Verdict is still out on if was was actually insane, or just temporary so by way of intoxication.
Someone needs to do a study of how much safer both the public and police officers are before and after tasers. I'm betting we'd be disarming cops of these rediculous weapon shortly after.

@SexWaxin'_GitEmSteveDave:
We shall train teams of ninja anesthesiologists who can skillfully sneak up on a perp and deliver intravenously a carefully calculated amount of sedative without even being noticed.
@SexWaxin'_GitEmSteveDave: Of course. These are well trained ninja anesthesiologists we're talking about after all.
Able to deliver pacifism to a complex confrontation with a divinity rival to that of god.
Or we could just shock some dumb mother fuckers till they STFU and STFD.
Both are good I guess.
@bonedog73: If you pull a plastic butter knife on a cop he will most definitely pull out his real side arm. "Oh those brutes! It was just a plastic butter knife!" Yeah, but he's a cop, WTF are you doing pulling anything on them? In this instance they tased to subdue an agitated, unarmed, combatant so that they didn't HAVE to shoot him.
@BoardShortin'_GitEmSteveDave: What was the alternative before the taser? That's what I'm asking? Does the taser makes the cops job safer or do they just like tasing people at an instant? This is a potentially lethal device.
@Mark 2000: They would pepper spray them, club/manually subdue them, use rubber bullets(which kill close in), etc... A tazer has a 17 foot range, which is the range a person with a knife is considered lethal. It has a laser sight to let them know where they are going to hit, which means no chance of an innocent bystander being hit. And unlike the previous methods, whenever a taser is deployed a superior officer and also medical services are called to document/check out the patients. At least that's how it is in the US in almost ALL police departments.
@Lite: is on a boat.: Don't listen to them. I got it. "This is my rifle, this is my gun! This is for shooting, this is for fun!" C'mon people! Maybe this one will help..."me love you long time."
@Hello Mister Walrus: If Second Life is any indication... The Appstore would be overrun with porn and adult themed apps making it difficult to actually develop and sell anything non-porn related without their rules.
@SeattleTed is proud to like Robert Zimmerman: You were once responsible for suggesting the development of a multiplayer pull-my-finger fart app for the iPhone that would automatically twitter who the winner was.
In principal, I'd say that this is silly, but really, this app is/was pointless to begin with, when one could just as well make a custom folder full of pictures of your choosing.*

@Kaiser-Machead: This one app. is just a drop in the bucket of liquid that is the actual issue. Apple is deciding unilaterally which applications to allow, and which to ban. I agree that some regulation is necessary; for instance to eliminate applications with unlawful purposes like identity theft. However, this should not extend to content that is legal. If an application is useless, then the application market, not Apple should make that definition.

So if the cops yell stop and you pull out a taser, what do they do? Pull out the real guns or is there some kind of taseoff!??
