So hitting someone with a tazer for being disrespectful is now kosher just because you wear a lovely green or brown uniform?

GO UPS!

Good job Gildash... you managed to google the wrong agency State park rangers have no jurisdiction in a national park. Here in PA our State Park "rangers" are called the Park Police and goto the State Police academy and yes are actual police officers. However they have no jurisdiction inside the National Parks.

The Ranger in question was a National Park Ranger however... and I'm pretty sure my buddy who has been a Ranger for 10+ years at Yellowstone knows what he can and can't do at his job.

Oh btw, I'm a Correctional Officer, an actual part of the Law Enforcement Society. I'm trained in ALL that same crap as well. If someone walks onto the Prison grounds and refuses to leave, guess what I'm allowed to do. I can ask them to leave, issue them a citation, and if they refuse... I get to call the Police... and I have more authority than a National Park Ranger does.

The reason they are trained in such things is because they are part of a call up tree in the case of an emergency, such as a riot.

So anyone who wants to argue against Gildash, just point out the false dilemma fallacy he's using and he'll resort to spamming image macros since his position is indefensible.

wrong, if the park ranger knows how to do his job he'll have a description of you, and he can follow you back to your vehicle and write down that information as well. If you decide to just walk around and try to avoid going back to your vehicle and waste your time, you will eventually be looking at an actual police officer who was called in by the ranger.

Here are some court cases a lot of you should read:
Graham V. Connor
Terry V. Ohio

Not sure how it works in different states but here in Nevada there are different POST categories for peace officers.

Fair point about the link I posted.

I still say you are wrong though. Everything I saw about national park rangers said they were still responsible for "enforcement of laws and regulations".

Shrug. I give up.

Everyone just walk away from anyone that isn't technically a cop. See how far that gets you.

My feelings on this are pretty simple. You respect the uniform. And yes, the laws may be stupid, but you don't change them by being obstinate. The ranger was trying to do her job and it really doesn't matter if she agrees with the rule or not, she was enforcing it. To treat her the way he did the idiot deserved to be tazed all to hell. There are ways to change rules you do not agree with, but treating an obviously armed and uniformed official is not the way. Go to meeting. Speak your mind. Get others involved. Start a petition. Get the local media involved. But don't do this after you were stupid and got tazed. Everyone will now assume you have a vendetta.



Yeah lets let officers tase you for walking away during a trivial offense in which there is no danger to anyone or anything (except apparently, a flower)


We'll just start tasing people because they're potentially causing harm to a flower.



Are you f***ing retarded?

Go let a cop catch you for committing a minor offense and then run away while he tries to give you a ticket....let us know how jail is.



I never said don't arrest him.
