@komonews The proper response to non-compliance is arrest and prosecution, not assault and battery, don't you think? #occupyolympia

@komonews Thanks. I'm curious if you think the correct response by police when someone non-violently declines to comply is assaulting him.

@komonews Understood. When officer says he assaulted someone as a result of non-compliance, do you ask if there was any danger to officer?

@pmocek Of course. Part of the reason we don't have the complete story yet is b/c the WSP spokesman only had preliminary information.

@komonews Gutsy of police to tell a reporter that in response to non-compliance, they beat/shocked/maced that person instead of arresting.

@komonews Your relaying that WSP said they gave ample warning before applying electroshock implies that you think such warning is relevant.
