Dumbest cops in America video themselves laughing at and Tasing mentally-ill, handcuffed man

I’m always uncomfortable when this sort of thing gets reposted. The line between legitimately informing the public, and perpetuating the individual’s abuse under the guise thereof, is painfully fuzzy. Would you have posted it if it was abuse of a child? If it was sexual abuse?

Stupid human tricks which feature only the stupid humans in question are one thing. When there’s a victim, I think it’s another.

Your blog, your decision, but I wanted to make sure folks were thinking about the negatives of signal-boosting. My personal take is that this sort of thing didn’t need more than a still, at most… and my own sense of fairness would have been to blur the victim’s identity even so.
