we were actually watching the game, Yadi Molina just starts laughing and you can see all of the camera flashes reflecting on his helmet. They didn't show it and said they were instructed NOT to show it as it was happening. It was frustrating because everyone was laughing and the players were all laughing. I assumed the guy was unclothed or partially unclothed. What an idiot.

All kids are dumbasses. OMG! I had such great fun and wonderful memories of being one. But tazer? It was a kid running around a ballpark. I'm not allowed to smack my kid upside the head if I catch him with drugs, but someone can tazer him when he is running like a silly fool around the park of America's Greatest Game. If they can tazer, I want to be able to beat his butt without consequence. Wait, I have a tazer in my top drawer. Can I tazer him when he's running away from his homework? That would be cool.
But telling a story like that will be something to be chuckled over as an adult when reminiscing... it was harmless (until the tazer). We give the terrorist more leeway and consideration.

The tazing was appropriate.
I am a cop. 9 weeks ago, I got in a chase with a drug dealer and fell and broke my arm at the elbow, requiring surgery, permanent rods, and (so far) 2+ months of physical therapy. If I had had a tazer, I could've ended the chase before it got started and not have to worry about arthritis in my arm for the rest of my life. what if the guy chasing this moron had fallen gotten hurt? did you think about that? some security guy gets hurt because this guy decides it's cool to be a jackass.
ever heard of terrorism? what if this guy had gone onto the field with the intentions of seriously hurting someone?
people don't think about the consequences of their stupidity. I'm glad he got tazed.

Yes, but I don't hold kids so responsible for harmless pranks. I know y'all take your game seriously.... but he ran across a game field with clothes on. People in the stands were laughing at the scenario like it was an entertaining part of the day. Something to tell their friends about later (albeit a n.aked streaker would have been an much better story and cellphone camera memory). Was anyone there in fear of their life or safety? Was it ruining anyone's good time? It added to it!
And please, concerned for safety of the cop running across a grassy field to catch a running teen? If he was carrying something, going for someone, threatening anyone... cool. This is a harmless old gag that has been done a bunch of times.
Hire rent-a-cops that watch the field boundaries better.....

I should say I'm not saying he should be free on any consequences. Do you think he wasn't going to get caught? Let him run around and then get him when he goes to leave.
The cop that tazered.... he needs to get into a little bit better physical shape so he can outrun and catch those scray little streaker teens.

that statement really sums up the problem in your logic: you hold some people responsible and some, not so. like there is some kind of magical age barrier where a person should suddenly become responsible. especially when you are talking about a 17 year old who is technically neither a child nor an adult. how about a 17 year old walks up and slugs you in the face? you going to shrug your shoulders and say, "well, he's a kid, I guess it's ok if he kicks my ass since he's not responsible"?

I never meant he shouldn't be punished for his actions. ABSOLUTELY he should be punished as anyone else should be.

Physical abuse if a completely different topic.
I think the kid should be a threat (to something other than the flow of the baseball game) before someone pulls out a tazer.
