Now I don’t know if it was proper for the police to taser the kid for running onto the field, but why run onto it in the first place. It’s a symptom of the age kids are growing up in. YouTube and social media, I think have led to an exceptional rise in kids desire to be noticed. To attract those 1 million views on YouTube. It’s like that desire pushes away any semblance of common sense. Did he not think he was gonna get into trouble by running onto the field, and if he did, did the attention outweigh the trouble he was gonna be in. One thing I’m pretty sure he wasn’t thinking about was getting hit by a taser in the back.

A police officer used a Taser gun to apprehend a fan who ran onto the field during a Phillies game Monday night, and the team and the police are investigating whether it was an appropriate use of force.

And now he has his wish, he’s all over YouTube…
