If you're actually stupid enough to behave like that, you can expect to get what
you deserve.

Me too, and thats essentially what I meant in my previous.

And the best way to discourage others from behaving like that too.

So if a cop decides to be an asshole that day, and you mutter
something, and the cop says "HUH, PUNK, this will teach you respect my
AUTHORITY" while you are on the ground getting tazered infront of the
whole store, it's all your falt, and don't deserve sympathy. After
all, a cop is always right.

On a somewhat unrelated note, maybe people should memorise the chant
"Sieg Heil". It may become the "in" thing very soon.

She did a lot more than JUST mutter something.

Nope, just like if you have a minor car accident, and chuck
a tantrum and start screaming abuse at the other party, you
shouldnt be too surprised if you get a reaction you do not care for.

Nope, some have been claiming that for well over half a century now and it hasnt
happened.

Nope, I dont behave like that woman did, so it wont ever happen to me.

No one stopped her from politely denying that she was involved
in any fraudulent activity. She was tazered because of how she
behaved. Nothing what so ever to do with free speech.

> According to the the article the police officer was not under physical threat.

Irrelevant to whether she got the result she deserved.

> It isn't for a cop to decide to administer punishment.

It wasnt punishment, it was dealing effectively with that sort of outrageous
behavior.

It stopped it very effectively indeed.
