Don't Tase me Bro


Fuck the Police, that's how we treat 'em, we can buy our way out of jail but we can't buy freedom. Kanye always knows what to say, and always in the most poetic terms.
We all heard about the UF student who was forcibly removed from a lecture, in which he repeatedly yelled "don't tase me bro! Don't tase me!" but was invariably tased anyways- the result of brute authoritarian force? Or merited punishment on a douche lord?
It's up to you, but his infamous quotation sparked a series of viral videos and songs.

Regardless, the issue of whether or not to fight the man, or endure a tasing is an ongoing question.
In this painting by Francisco Goya he demonstrates the lifelong human battle between freedom, independence, and well...men with guns. This painting called "The Shootings of May Third 1808" commemorates the Spanish resistance to Napoleon's army.
Here's looking at all the tased bros and those who'll apologize, but just won't take off their sunglasses.
