By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I found out that when an officer screams, "DON'T MOVE OR I'LL TASE YOU", it really means, "If you so much as flinch I'm going to shoot and 50,000 volts will be directed through your nose and groin." FML

Save a Minority Kill a pig! Im at the point in my life whered Id have NO problem If jjust mowing down a bunch of pigs! Jocks and women beaters the all of them!

I’m basking right now. Mainly because you felt the need to point out I was right with my original assumption, and also misreading what I wrote. I said people with power abuse it. Not just cops, and also abusing does not necessarily mean tasing innocent people as they come and go, it could be a variety of things. Also, the too much time on your hands comment wasn’t all that personal, just a neutral funny add-on, but thank you for devoting that much importance to my comment that you felt the need to justify yourself with over five paragraphs. I continue basking (also I love the verb basking, and I loved reading it so many times in your response). =)

Don't worry dude, once you get tasered a few more times for peeping, it starts to tickle.

**** you #38. The men and women of the police force put their lives at risk for the public just by going out in the streets wearing their uniform because dumb fuckss like you think it's ok to shoot cops. As for the OP, YDI for not understanding the English language when it is being yelled at you with a tazer.

I'm pretty sure "flinching" by definition is involuntary. Maybe you don't understand English?

They're are shitty people and shitty cops move on.

"the handful that end up in the news for wrongfully tasing/shooting someone. It would be a tiny %." Right. Because more than a tiny percentage of wrongful tasings/beatings/shooting actually get reported. And there isn't a good number of cops that don't do those things, yet cover for the ones that do, which is even worse. Yes, I acknowledge that there are good cops, but I can't ignore the bad cops and their enablers. We all want to believe that "the police are our friends" and all that kinda thing, but at the end of the day, their just men and women with the illusion of power, and those who have -- or believe they have -- power often abuse it. I ain't gonna respect a badge just for the sake of the badge. If I respect a cop, it's because he/she acts in a respectful manner.

YDI. It's simple. The officer clearly said DON'T MOVE. And what did you do? You moved. You obviously did something that would result in the officer having to yell that. So your sad cause you couldn't follow simple instructions and felt the Officer should have given you another chance? Fact is what's done is done. OP is an idiot.

If he wasn't moving forward or back or reaching for a weapon, I really don't think tasing was necessary.

You can't make that call based on what we know. In fact the opposite is more likely true. He probably did deserve it. I have seen so many people who think they are in charge in every situation. Personally I am surprised more people are not shot and tased.

Unless you factor in the fact that a FLINCH is an involuntary movement then yes it is a YDI... but seeing as a thats exactly what a flinch is then I dont see how we can blame the OP.

Flinching is involuntary. I suggest you invest in a dictionary.

I would assume moving meant something like taking a step forward, or acting as if you where going to reach for a weapon. I'd be tasered to hell and back then as I have trouble remaining perfectly still, and if nervous tend to flinch or jerk at the slightest thing. I don't do anything that would get me arrested either though.

Just as in human society there are good cops and bad cops and humans normally focus more on bad things rather than the good . As an example most of the cops I meet are bullies and take the job to lord over others but I'm sure there are good ones too you just don't hear about them as much . But the bad ones who abuse their power entrusted in them deserve nothing less being treated as the criminals that they are .
