Interesting read, but they left out the most glaring and disturbing answer to the title question: "Because they can." Jim

Believe government officials as a whole are out of touch with the people too busy enriching themselves, therefore want fear be applied to citizens who may take note of what they're doing. First one that comes to mind is Washington that's unfortunately set the tempo for the rest.

Thanks Rick!! We definitely are not their enemy, the perps are. Maybe the quota system has something to do with the problem. Seems in this case they picked on someone helpless, treating that person as if they were a wacked out on drugs ninja.

Well, let's see; we elect lawyers and accountants to run our nation's government, and then we allow them to appoint their friends and relatives to key positions of power, regardless of their qualifications or prior experience. We let them tell us, "You MUST be afraid! It's very dangerous to live in America today!" Rather than watching out for and protecting our neighbors, we cry, "Why doesn't the government DO something to make America safe again?" "Well, all right," they reply, "We'll hire MORE... [ More ]

When cops make all citizens (NOT 'civilians') their enemies, they are creating enemies that weren't there in the first place. This is not a good tactic and will backfire on them when they need citizen cooperation the most.

My first reaction was if I were that kid's parent, I'd be looking for a really good attorney. I hope the kid has no permanent body damage, mind and brain function intact .... most of all no lingering trauma.

They have enough combined muscle power to stop someone and cuff them and that is how it should be done. A taser should not be used until a cop is hurt, stabbed or shot. Depending on those circumstances, they should use deadly force if necessary as well. Otherwise, the cops are using a potential deadly, harmful weapon that isn't needed.
