Hearing crazy things.

Couldn't tell anything from our seats on the other side.
 
yeah I saw that, but it's 2 seconds of footage... what happened?
 
if you look at Nick/EOS's mentions and tweets you can follow the Twitter drama.
 
The supporter section could have used some electricity is was dead after the 2nd Columbus goal.

But in all seriously, this may have been a bit much, I mean this guy is wearing a Man City jersey and is white.
 
I don't know what happened leading up to him getting tased but I was right there through this clip. You can see two cops in this clip. There are another two at his feet. There are also 2 or more Securitas employees in the area. You can see my foot in the cover still of the video; the blue sneaker with the white outsole.

I was already working on diffusing another situation when I saw a cop suddenly start for the aisle between 236 and 237. I immediately ran over to the top of the staircase to see what was going on. I saw the guy yelling back and forth with the police and staff and he was near enough that I could grab him. I reached over the railing and grabbed him and repeatedly asked him to calm down. They were pushing him up the stairs faster than he could walk. They pushed him to the ground. I grabbed him under his arms and tried to pick him up. Again, asking everyone to calm down. As I'm trying to help him up, another cop runs up through everyone and between me and the man on the ground screaming, "TASER! TASER!" and just jabbed his weapon into his chest and fired.

This was an awful situation.

Who knows what the guy was doing, maybe he was throwing beer bottles at people, was drunk as fuck, and wasn't tolerating with the police. You can never assume it's a bit much until you know what happened.

Hi,

My first post on this forum and I just would like to ask a question after reading this and watching the 2 second video clip. Did you actually hear a taser being used? Just because someone yells the word taser, doesn't mean it was used. Did your friend go to the hospital after the incident?
