Padres players support using tasers on fans
by jbox on May 5, 2010 1:47 PM PDT

PrintMarty Caswell (Marty1090 Twitter) interviewed the Padres players yesterday about tasering fans:
I think tasing a fan is overkill. Only if a fan pulls a weapon or starts acting violently towards a player would I think it'd be necessary.
Why are these baseball players so scared of a fan? 99% of fans just run around on the field and don't even approach players. If a fan can out run security and catch a player than they belong on the field!
Hairston, Hundley and Headley are the only ones that say they'll just avoid the fan. Everybody else wants them tased, to fight them or throw a fast ball at them.
If there was a fight on the field between players, should teammates rushing out of the dugout and bullpen to join the fight be tased? I wonder how the players would answer that question.
It makes me uncomfortable how some of the Padres interviewed sound excited and eager to watch a fan get tased. They sound like sadists.
Video of the Phillies fan that was tased after the jump. See if you can spot which player was in danger from that Philly fan running in circles waving a towel because I can't.

If you are stopping violence
tase ’em.
If if you’re just a cop with too many pounded donuts and someguy is doing snow angels on the field, sorry chubby but you got to chase him down.

You're going to risk a players life by letting a guy making $12 an hour make a judgement call?
You never know 100% what someones intentions are. You never know what a person is concealing.
If that kid had been running around in the outfield like an idiot and then all of the sudden pulled a weapon….the guys doing security would be getting crushed right now for not doing enough.
Tase ‘em, pepper spray them…I don’t care. I came to watch a game – not some jerk-off that didn’t get enough attention from mommy. Take their ass down and make the next guy think twice before stepping onto that field.

That's my feeling
Regardless of you acting in a threatening manner or not, as soon as you hop that fence and go onto the field, you deserve what’s coming to you (so long as it’s non-lethal, obviously).
I don’t feel bad for the guy whatsoever. A) He’s a Philies fan and B) he knew what he was doing was wrong and idiotic, he paid the consequences.
If that's the case
Then at least when they do the announcement about not going on the field, then list the tasing/pepper spraying as part of the consequences.

Tase that guy
There are two types of people who rush the field in the middle of the game:
1. Douchebag
2. Hot and/or Naked Chick
Tase the douchebags. There is no such thing as a non-douchebag male who rushes the field and there is no such thing as a chick who rushes the field who isn’t hot and/or naked.
For those of you who have rushed the field in the past, I guarantee you that you fit one of those two categories. Also, douchebags should probably be tased out of principle. Hot chicks should never be tased. Teased. Not Tased.
Good to see
some of the players at least have a nuanced view on this matter.

How is tasing someone when trying to stop them from breaking a law the same thing as tasing them for not breaking the law?
This is a terrible thing for the Padres. - Jerry Coleman
in this case, yes.
the guy was doing everything in his power to avoid arrest. Tasing somebody resisting arrest IS reasonable force.
552
I'll agree with that
But, if you can arrest a guy without tasing, then you probably shouldn’t tase.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
That is case by case.
Whhat is being talked about here is: “Anyone who steps on the field should be tased.”
There is a big difference between a policy of instant tasting and reasonable force on a case by case basis.
Who, other than you, ever said "anyone who steps on the field should be tased"?
But by stepping on the field when you know damn well you shouldn’t be on the field, you give up any expectations to not be tased.
Is this any different than, say, he had broken his arm or busted his face open being tackled to the ground. Is that excessive force? And something like a broken limb has bigger ramifications and longer healing period than being tased.

no, thats not the question you posed at all.
you said ." .. Maybe they police should just tase any one any time they might do something wrong" and you followed it up with “Why not allow them to disperse punishment any time they see fit”.
552
I thought that was over the top enough to get people to understand
why you draw a line between reasonable force and punishment. I was wrong.
I followed you
I think the problem is that wveres and others don’t see tasing as a punishment and creanium just got lost along the way.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
i don't feel that tasing is punishment.
jail, a fine, that’s punishment. Tasing is inconvenient. The minute the security guard lets go of the trigger your “punishment” ends.
552
Personally
I think that anything that causes physical pain is a punishment, unless it falls under reasonable force. In this case, it was reasonable force. But, not every fan reasonably requires tasing to be removed from the field. I know, because I’ve seen fans be removed without tasing.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

I guess the question is
How long do you chase someone around until you say ‘screw it, tase him’?
From the time the video of Philly fan starts to face on the ground is just about 10 seconds. How long he was running around before that I have no idea.
This is a terrible thing for the Padres. - Jerry Coleman
I didn't say that the Philly fan wasn't reasonable force.
I’m just not in favor of immediately tasing anyone.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
Basically
Any policy where the first reaction to a fan going on the field is to tase them. I would think a policy would be something like “Ask them to remove their person from the field”, “Attempt to escort them off the field”, “Use reasonable force to stop them from continuing the disruption” Or something like that.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
my policy
1-taze the fan
2-eat cheetohs
3-run out on to the field to catch the crazy guy running around
4-avoid prosecution for randomly tazing peaceful customers

arent these security guys protected by the same laws that protect bouncers?
because i know a bouncer can whoop your ass and theres not a damn thing in the world you can do against him legally.

I should actually rephrase
I’m okay with them tasing, as long its announced as a known consequence. It’s probably more preventative that way anyway. Obviously, there are those that think that sort of force is excessive, yet they do know that they will be arrested for entering the field. Most people would think of getting arrested as physical contact that does not involve tasing, though.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
so security quards tackling somebody ..
and sitting on them with their knee in the guys back doesn’t cause pain? I’d argue the tasing doesn’t last as long and causes less pain, short term AND long term.
552
Exactly
As much as I hate playing “what if”, but, would we even be discussing this had he broken his arm because he was tackled on the infield by the security guard? What makes the tasing so different?
I would think
That the security guard would be liable for any broken body parts if he was not resisting their detainment.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
But it happened in the course of him being tackled
If he gets tackled without any incident, as is usually the case in these situations, no one ever thinks anything of it.
What makes the tasing any different? The taser was just used to bring him down, he was arrested and walked off without incident after that.
If you tackle someone you aren’t trying to hurt him. When you tase someone, you are. Aren’t you?
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

Looking at some of the many videos on youtube
It seems being tased might be the less painful alternative. Some people really get tackled hard, and on warning track dirt.
This is a terrible thing for the Padres. - Jerry Coleman
I imagine
If you aren’t resisting arrest, then there wouldn’t be a need for a hard tackle.

Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
Agreed
Just going by youtube video and personal experience it seems like most treat it like a funny game. They run around, trying to avoid security, crowd cheers and then eventually they make a wrong move and someone drops them.
This is a terrible thing for the Padres. - Jerry Coleman
The aim isn’t to hurt someone when you tase them, it’s to subdue them. By causing involuntary contraction of the muscles, it subdues the target. Temporary pain at the site of the electrodes is a byproduct, but the pain subsides as soon as the shock stops and the electrodes are removed.
Any sort of pain
Seems to me as a violation of due process and should not be taken lightly.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
I don't necessarily disagree
But we’re not exactly talking about the electric chair here.
To me, when used properly, the risks involved and the bodily harm the fan on the field endures is no worse than a 270-lb security guard falling on him as he tackles him to the ground.
This, of course, all relies on the guard being trained and using the taser properly and without excessive force (which in this instance, he did it all correctly in my mind).
I just would want to make sure
That it ends up done “correctly” or that at least it is advertised as a known consequence.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
And that's where I agree with you
In this instance, it was reasonable force. They needed to bring a swift resolution to the disruption and as soon as the guy went down, the guard stopped the tasing (and they pulled the electrodes out). It’s not like he stood over him constantly pressing the trigger just to “teach this kid a lesson”.
That’s not to say I’m in favor of instant tasing should you run onto the field.
Premtive tasing?

The guy broke the law and is running around the field away from security/police. Are they just supposed to chase him around until he gets tired? If someone is running from a law enforcement officer should the cop just chase him until he gets tired and or stops? Or should he use the taser to stop him?
I don’t see the injustice in stopping someone who is actively breaking the law.

If there was a fight on the field between players, should teammates rushing out of the dugout and bullpen to join the fight be tased?
That's a little harsh dude
The bullpen should just start launching fastballs at the opposing teams’ players.

I wouldn't.
Unless we were storming the field in celebration of winning the WS.

when we win the WS, I will rush the field and eat the infield grass.

Not me
I don’t need to be the center of attention. I can get on the field at events like Firer Fest if I really need to see what it is like.

i don't think i have ever seen a video where they chased her.
they would walk out after the fact and escort her off the field, but I am pretty sure they knew what she was going to do ahead of time.
552
I thin Jim Tracy should be tased
after the 3rd pitching switch in the same inning

Here's another scenario
Jayson Werth has just hit a home run in the final game of the NL Championship Series to send the Phillies to another WS and to send the Padres home. Do you tase him?
Does he have to hit a home run first?
What ever happened to tasing for tasing’s sake?

Let's say that you had a button...
And every time you pushed it, a random, male Dodger fan between the ages of 17 and 45 would get tased with no chance of death or permanent injury. AND… each button push would also donate $20 to a charity of your choosing.
How many times do you push the button?

I disassemble the button
and connect the gate manually for uninterrupted torture charity.

It doesn't even need to be a male Dodger
People in general would do it a lot.
People will do it just by being ordered by some authoritarian person telling them to… without the money to charity.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

How about the people who do the free taco promotion?
If they pick the wrong hat and we don’t get free tacos, TASE THEM.

"I loved going into Philadelphia," Gamboa said. "Their fans were just like Chicago. It was electric in the park. It would be a mistake for people to label Philly as a problem city for the acts of a couple stupid wackos.
Electric? Poor choice of words.
Even poorer

Man, this discussion got deep
And all I can think about is how funny that scene in “Fever Pitch” would have been if they had tased Drew Barrymore as she ran across the field to stop Jimmy Fallon from selling his season tickets.
They should definitely tase whoever thought it was a good idea to give Fallon a talk show, and everyone responsible for keeping it on the air.

Regardless of what you believe on this matter
Dont you guys think these videos that Marty is getting are awesome?
We dont ever get to see the guys just hanging out in the clubhouse.
I think its awesome.
I was thinking the same thing.
It all seemed so candid, like there’s a definite good rapport between her and the players; they don’t tighten up and get all Crash Davisish.

Tase 'em all, let God sort 'em out.
In all seriousness, I think use of a taser isn’t out of line. Like they say, “If you wanna dance, you gotta pay the fiddler”. As has been pointed out, nobody knows what somebody out there is capable of doing.
Besides, getting tased isn’t that bad. When I was younger, I had a friend whose mom is a police officer and he “borrowed” hers and we all took turns being idiots. Yeah, it sucks but not as bad as getting broken bones from some huge dude tackling you or throwing a fastball at you.

If you're of the quality of health
where a taser’s gonna mess you up, you’re still better off not engaging in strenuous physical activity that ends in being gang tackled.

Back in my Highschool days...
It was the CIF championship game being played at the Murph, Mission Bay vs RB. I went to Mission Bay. A buddy and I had agreed to charge the field if we won the game. We won. We jumped up from our seats, and stared at each other, nodded, and hopped over the railing above the Home Dugout to begin the decent down to the field. My buddy just jumped from the railing down to the field, kept his footing and ran to the middle of the diamond and began to share in the celebration. I was not so lucky. when my buddy had jumped from teh railing I was still hanging on trying to figure out a way that I could jump down and not sprain an ankle. by the time I saw him hit the ground, gather himself, and start on a mad dash to the pitchers mound, I had finally decided to just make it a simple free-fall down. what I didnt expect was to be caught by one of the “field-security-guys” and then power bombed onto the turf right in front of the dugout. everybody in the area that I was sitting saw this event transpire as if it were a cinematic event. very embarrassing
anyhow, I jumped onto the field with the intent to enjoy in the celebration of my high school buddies, and instead of partaking in this, my hopes were dashed by the superior body mass of some weird guy that got off on tossing me around like I was some no-name wrestler. All I can say is that it already sucks taht we have to face the possibility that we’re going to get pummeled before thousands of spectators, now the way to make us crap our pants too?
whatever.
"There are two great tragedies in life: One is not getting what one wants; the other is getting it."
I want to know how the "F" Marty got Carte Blanche to get into the clubhouse...
Knowing what I know…
