" I wish someone would taze those stupid black and blonde dogs out on Butler that just run around like they own the place.

I'm driving the truck to work on monday, and I'm not slowing down for them anymore. "

" Thank goodness it was his taser and not his firearm.

So if the cop didn't know how he fell, what gave hime the right to just start shooting?

Tois is why we all need to put hidden cameras in and outside our homes and in our cars....I do. Hard to make up a BS story in court when a video shows up of you falling over your own feet and shooting your taser for no good reason. "

" And now, the rest of the story (had to go to another paper to get it)

The Sept. 22 incident unfolded at a West 11th Avenue townhouse. The student and his roommate, who is also 19 and a Chinese citizen, moved into the rented unit earlier that day. Police went there after someone reported seeing people they believed to be trespassers inside. Officers went inside the townhouse and handcuffed one of the students before Warden confronted the other in an upstairs bedroom. According to a police report, Warden said he somehow tripped and fell to the floor after the student did not respond to repeated commands to show his hands. Warden wrote in the report that he got up and fired his stun gun at the student — who was seated on the floor — because he feared the student “was coming at me to potentially hurt me” and continued to ignore his commands. Officers later learned that the students did not understand English. The teens had just arrived in Eugene to take basic English classes at the UO. The students’ landlord realized shortly after the officer used his Taser that the students were the unit’s rightful occupants, and police let them go.

So this is another case of a cowboy cop who watches too much TV turning a non-incident into a life threatening situation. "

" If a police officer says, show me your hands, DO IT! I dont care what country I was in, police show up and started yelling something at me, hands go up! "

" Swept him with his leg--must have been Jackie Chan. Granted, it's really impossible to know what happened here by reading the "story," but being a foreign student hanging out in your new apartment and then being yelled at and "tasted" by a cop who had no reason to be there has to add up to being a pretty rotten day. Wonder what his opinion of "American freedoms" is now? "

" i was about to say something mean to Huh (for being mean), but holy cow! yeah, spell-check shouldn't be expected to do your work for you! I wasn't sure what happened in this story ...

first the officer "tasked" someone ...
then there was something "indecent" that happened on the 22nd ...
and finally we're left with an officer having fired a "taster".

to (the writer's) credit, it WAS an interesting story, and, thanks to the headline, i was able to do my own detective work and figure out what was going on.

I still love the Argus, however, and 9 out of 10 times the proofreading is leaps beyond that Payette paper! "

" Between the spelling and the grammar, I'm not sure what this article says... "
