What was dumb about it, exactly? I could see someone picking up on a little toxic masculinity, but dumb? I said it'd go differently in other parts of the country....and it certainly would.

Because you sound like an absolute tool when you say that. You sound like some dumb high school loser who wants somebody to try to start something with him because he thinks he's tough.

 

You sound like these ignorant idiots.

This is great work by the times. 
 

What are your thoughts on this after reading and watching the videos?

I don’t think the cop should have shot A.) with so many other people in close proximity B.) Over someone being drunk. C.) Knowing the taser isn’t a deadly weapon.
With that said, I wish people wouldn’t put themselves in these positions. If you’re going to drive drunk, you better be willing to get arrested and spend the night in jail. Police and people need to use better judgement in situations like this.

Note that when a Taser is used by the police, it's non-lethal. But when it's used against the police, it's a deadly weapon. This is part of why police reform needs to happen - the issues are systemic.
