While there was fall-out from the tasering of a young Philies fan, little has been said about the other events that occurred shortly thereafter. Paul Steinbach in an article in Athletic Business highlighted that shortly thereafter a fan ran onto the the field during a Chicago White Sox game (who was subdues by six security guards), and the following week an intoxicated patron at the Player's Championship golf tournament was heckling players and fans alike and after repeated warnings was tasered. The question I guess is still how far must someone go to deserve being tasered? My perspective is that if someone does not head lawful orders and could put themselves and others at risk, then using a taser might be a very valid approach.
