When the Utah Utes beat Pittsburgh in the Fiesta Bowl, some of their fans tried running out on the field to celebrate. That's when police drew their TASER guns and opened fire. The TASER is not a "stun gun". While it is an electronic device that can be used to incapacitate a violent suspect, it can also maim or kill. It was certainly NOT designed to be used as a cattle prod for crowd control.

A University spokesman later admitted that they had attacked the students "to protect the goal posts".

The officers used the weapons at the Sun Devil Stadium in part "to protect the goal posts and the field" for an NFL game scheduled the following day, [Arizona State University spokesman Keith Jennings] said.

"It was justifiable," he said. "They were also trying to protect people, if they go down to the field and knock over the goal post, that sort of thing, we're liable if someone gets hurt. ... We just wanted to force them back into the stands."

It occured to me that I too might be liable if someone hurts themselves on my property. I wonder if the police would give me one of those zappers to keep people at bay?
