Personal responsibility for your goverment

After watching the movie posted in the comments of http://digg.com/world_news/Awful_screaming_in_Taser_video_to_be_made_public, I can't help but think of what I would do in that situation.

Perhaps instead of just video taping, someone could step up and defend the person being wrongfully attacked (tazed repeatedly).  Perhaps instead of just taping, someone could call for help, or 911, or immediately BE THE HELP by tackling/punching the guy doing the tazing.

This isn't rocket-science.  If something feels wrong about a situation, think about it, and then act.

 

Tazing an unarmed and clearly unthreatening person whom you have in custody is wrong. 

I might understand tazing him once for 3 or 4 seconds - alright, fine, life goes on.  Tazing him multiple times with no reason - no, I won't stand for that.  And when I get the chance to stand up to wrongfully oppressive power, I will.
