Was he threatening anyone? They could just drag him by his feet. The whole premise is flawed anyway. Then again, why bother commenting in the FuckMasks sub when you're obviously on the authoritarians' side?

I am sure they'd drag him by his feet, but if he resisted then tazing him is perfectly appropriate in the US.

Violence is never appropriate.

I agree. You must not be American.

It's no secret I'm Canadian. I've also lived 10 years in the US, in New York, San Francisco, Austin, etc. I now live again in Windsor, Ontario, just across the river from Detroit, viewed from my window. I'm very familiar with Americans. My land lady is one, though she hasn't been here all year.

I'm very familiar with Americans.

I don't really understand what that sentence means. You're familiar with some Americans? (Most people on Earth are familiar with some aspects of America). Out of all the countries in the world, the US probably contains the most diverse set of persons in the world.

Back on topic: I am sure the Canadian police also would resort to violence to remove someone from private property. It's normal. Perhaps not the same actions called for on Twitter though.

I went to Canada in the summer once--to my surprise it was unbearably hot.
