I read once that part of the psychology of crowds is that, in a situation like that in the video, it needs one person to step forward and try to stop what is happening before others will be able to mobilize themselves. Tasers have been introduced here in Australia in the state adjoining where I live, Queensland, with no horror stories yet, but an indication from civil liberties groups that they are being used by police who find it easier to do that than use their training in how to restrain people. http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/news/queensland/stunning-decision-tasers-for-all/2008/01/29/1201369090335.html Very sobering article.

That is just messed up. I could hear a woman in the back round asking what he did, but I'm sure I would be scared too. I can't believe the people in positions of authority who misuse their power like these clowns clearly did. What scum! Wow. That is just messed up.

I really can see a roomful of people afraid to buck the man, when it's ten on one and the tasers are flying. I still can't figure out what he did, other than dis Bush.
