Real life video games

Sickening report and footage from Florida University in which a 'disruptive' student was tasered during a debate featuring John Kerry. You really have to wonder why several burly police officers needed to resort to technology rather than muscle to restrain this one guy who had overstepped his allotted time for asking a question! And I hate the way New Zealand has performed the role of testing ground for taser gun policing which is now being rolled out elsewhere. It's a technical quick-fix. Technological determinism in action! Much easier just to click a button and zap 'em than have to flex muscle.
