I think the point of the LEO's actions are somewhat obvious, make an example of tasing a jumper and maybe other potential perps will think twice.

Fukking weak sauce, but that's how some pricks operate. I remember a HWY patrol friend of mine telling me of his taser training, said it hurt like hell and that it felt like his spinal fluid was boiling, and that was at half power.

I asked, then you'll be more restrained using it?, he said hell no, as soon as any punk talks back to me, I'm gonna light him up. WTF??

So there you go, weak sauce bitches, inadequate in their manhood, inferior to the alpha-male outdoor athlete, take out their frustrations on others because the approved policy and action is the use of overwhelming force, so they do. Probably figure climber types won't be the ones having coronary failure from the tase, avoid suspension, and laugh about it over donuts later. Fuk em.

What ever happened to running down a suspect, tackling them and putting the cuffs on?? mano e mano. Scared pussies can't even run anymore.

As far as the BASE community getting laws changed, an entity like the ACCESS fund needs to be organized. Do it in the courts and you might have a chance of changing laws. Obviously, mass protests have the potential to go wrong or create an even greater bias towards.

Gambler would huck it.

What harm in base jumping? In the worst case scenario, a failed base jump from El Cap would be equivalent to trundling, which, we all agree, is a no no and quite a danger to those below.

with that logic all climbers ought to be outlawed as a danger since they could fall off.....

Ammon should should have been wearing his climbing shoes when he jumped. I would have told the PoPo I was trying to down solo El Cap. and my parachute was my safety system.

Mustang... you need to read the "other post" about this incident to find out what happened, so you can write from actual knowledge and not the hype going around.

The post is the one JMC posted a bit down the page.
