1. A settler criminal, bootlegger calling the shots
Carl Mason ,   New Port News, Va.   (08.18.13)
Israel you are pittifull, better still doomed.
2. Violence
Abraham Nachmias ,   Petach Tikva IL   (08.18.13)
This police officers are correct, they are not backed by his boss. Just that there very good reasons for that and the solution Danino has found proves that he is not tthe correct person to occupy the position. The problem is not the stunt guns, the problem is the violence this policemen are authorized to use and the lack of defense of people´s rights! In any "democratic" country police cannot enter a private house without a formal order by a judge and cannot use violence the way they do! Mr Aharonovitch is the worst minister I've ever seen!
3. Taser

When the police need to use this weapon, they don´t use it:MARMARA; when the police don´t need to use this weapon, they use it:BOAZ ALBERT. This must be a problem of Morbid Masochism in the High Commands of Israel and that should be treated.

5. The problem is not Tasers

They are not a problem - the use of them by criminals with badges is the problem. The Yassam Unit needs to be disbanded and it's members arrested and jailed for life. They are violent criminals that should never be allowed to be armed
6. I have no sympathy for this guy

All we see on the video is what he wants us to see because it was filmed by somebody in the house at the time, probably a member of the family and it has obviously been edited. So we basically have his word for what happened and why the taser was used and in the video it shows him being dragged off and later carried most probably because his muscles would have spasmed as a result of the electric shock. We hear the taser being used in a blackened room so we do not know why the police used the taser, we hear it being used again outside once but he admits they tased his brother as well but again it was not filmed so we do not know what his brother might have done to justify being tased. Israeli police are far from perfect but in this case I am tending to lean more toward them being the ones who acted professionally and this Boaz who they were there to arrest probably did resist arrest. If the police were allowed to use the taser before this home movie was shown then the police commissioner should not be suspending their use now because he feels intimidated by this video. As for Gal-On she should stop butting in the way she always does and let the police do their jobs properly.

The police did not break in just look at the beginning of the video. There is a police officer in the house showing them a document and other officers come through the door saying SHALOM MISHTARA. The police can use violence to control somebody who is resisting arrest and as the room in which the tazer is used is darkened we do not know why the police decided to use it. Watching him being dragged along the floor and was probably because the electric shock had caused his muscles to spasm and he would have been unable to walk properly. Whilst we cannot know for certain because neither side are going to say I did wrongI am inclined to believe the police based on the evidence earlier on in the video with the way the police acting calmly and the fact the video was made and edited by the victim who is also the criminal.
8. tasering
kapriza ,   tsafon   (08.18.13)
"How do they expect us to defend ourselves, with silk gloves?" What were they defending themselves from? A man laying on the floor who didn't jump when they said jump? Sounds like all they had to defend themselves from was a bruised ego. A little training in good police tactics, not terrorist bullying, is definitely in order here.
9. #1 nobody cares about what you think and..
deavman ,   Acco, Israel   (08.18.13)
..as for the chap (Albert) in the video..he'll live. I am not fond of the police but then again he didn't give them much of a reason to be gentle.
10. #2 two questions
(08.18.13)
There is no doubt that Albert was tasered against the Taser manufacturer safey instructions. If the police officers knew these instructions and proceeded to violate them, they broke firearm safety orders and must be jailed. There is no room for criminal brutes in a democratic police. If the police officers acted according to illegal orders given by the commanders, then commanders must be relieved of their command and jailed. This article indicates that the police officers were abandoned by corrupt commanders give illegal orders and then blame the Shin Gimmel. Maybe Danino is just covering his own crimes.
11. You watch too much CNN
