I saw this video on BoingBoing the other day. Legal arguments of whether this was excessive force aside, this seems morally excessive. Maybe “morally” is the wrong word, but holding down someone whose only crime is being naked at an outdoor music festival and tasing them seems excessive.
What is our big hang up with nudity anyway? This was Coachella, not Disney Land. As long as this man wasn’t assaulting anyone, what is the big deal? I’m guessing Coachella itself has rules concertgoers have to abide by, and maybe a prohibition against nudity is one of them, but are the police there to enforce concert rules? Or did this man really pose a threat to the public?
Come on. Let the naked hippie dance.
