Taser = Torture Device

[teknomanzer]

1. Cops did not like being called pigs back in the day...

But that is an apt description. Fuck the pigs and their abuse of authority. I think there are far too many cops and they are scraping the bottom of the barrel to get assholes to fill these positions. Fuck the police, fuck the war on civil liberties (AKA the war on drugs,) fuck the prison industrial complex, and fuck all authoritarians. And if you feel offended by that well - - -

[DeSwiss]

4. Exactly. n/t

[unapatriciated]

19. no offense here.

They need to take those f#*king tasers away. They use them as a first resort so as not to be inconvenienced or doing their job humanly.

[Dawson Leery]

28. Perhaps cockroach is a better term.

Law "Enforcement" is s**t. They do not give a damn about constitutional protections (especially the fourth amendment).

[Xipe Totec]

2. There are no words to describe this nt

[DeSwiss]

5. Two Words: POLICE STATE n/t

[WingDinger]

3. When the rogue cops busted in my home at midnite, I talked loud

so that they wouldnt feel empowered to shoot and taunt me. They did taunt with right wing shit, but kept telling me to talk quietly, so as not to wake the neighbors. I have heart failure, and just the smashing on the door, and ringing the bell till it blewup could have done me in. Retaliation for taking a crooked cop and judge out. Substation down the street.

[DeSwiss]

6. You were lucky they didn't shoot.....

...you and later claim you resisted arrest. They do it all the time.

[WingDinger]

8. neighbors heard their smashing things. And although they said they heard the woman I was beating,

the fact that I was alone and asleep wouldnt look too good. They would have needed a throwdown woman.

[d_r]

7. I'll be glad when the day comes that I don't think of this song to post.

some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses.

[DeSwiss]

14. After 40+ years of living in the south.....

...this black man doesn't ever see that happening.

- Not in America.

[d_r]

35. no it will.

It will.

[Bitwit1234]

9. What upsets me the most about most police is the fact

that they are quick to cover the rights of republicans but always seem to rough up the Democrats.

[DeSwiss]

15. Birds of a feather, etc., etc., etc....... n/t

[Kevin1a]

10. We need new guidlines for Taser usage.

I'm starting to think we need some new guidelines for Taser usage. It seems like every other instance of police brutality in the last few years has involved a cop Tasing the crap out of someone for a minor offense (like getting out of a car too slowly). Just because it is allegedly nonlethal, doesn't mean you can Tase grandma because the weeds in her front lawn are too tall. Remember Marvin Booker in Denver? Before they sat on his chest and left him facedown on the floor of his cell, they Tased him. The police seem to be adopting a "Tase now, ask questions later" approach to interacting with people, and it's not a good thing.

[formercia]

12. TASER: The new Cattle Prod

Same shit, different Generation.

[DeSwiss]

16. New Guideline: DISCONTINUE

- There ya go.

[HardWorkingDem]

11. To me, on these types of incidents, most here miss the most important aspect of them....

next to the person passing away, regardless of the tool used, the person accused of committing these practices would have most likely used ANY sort of tool and not just the Taser. A tool or instrument is only as good as the hands it is used in.

People here get fixated on the Taser. To me, that is the side issue - would it be any different if the item used had been a sap? a pair of fists? a nightstick? a canister of pepper spray?

Someone suggested a policy change on Taser use. Well, there are all ready plenty of requirements on Taser usage. The problem is that people don't follow these guidelines, abuses them or just doesn't care.

The issue is that there are people out there that will abuse their positions regardless of what is accessible. To me, THAT is the problem and not a tool.

[DeSwiss]

17. A couple of Taser burns from it's contacts.....

...isn't as dramatic nor as difficult to explain away as the bruises from being beaten to death.

- And then there's the fact that many of the people being hired as police in this country and who are walking around with all these lethal weapons -- are absolute FUCKING IDIOTS...........

on edit: spelling

[teknomanzer]

23. You got that right...

Its not the tool that is the problem - its the shitfucks they hired to be policemen.

13. Winnfield is a dirty little town - see my link below to see the corruption

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chi-taser_witt-web-jul19,0,2201847.story

That coroner has been shot at numerous times and his garage put afire. He wears a gun now even at his desk. The man tazered is a cousin to one of the men charged in Jenna LA. Nugent has the record for using the tazer more than any other officer in Winnfield. Read more about the corruption there and in Louisiana:

18. I remember reading about it before. Thanks for the reminder. n/t

[Jumping John]

20. The defense has a co-counsel, who is also counsel for Taser International! n/t

[herbm]

21. When I was in the Navy I was exposed to CS. Cops should be tazed as training once a year.

I was in a training session and cops need training, too.

[HardWorkingDem]

26. I've been tasered before and would prefer that to a...

lot of things.

I'd rather be tased than sprayed in the face with pepper spray, hit in the noggin with a night stick or hit on the hand with a sap or punched in the face.

[herbm]

32. Then you'd have no problem with being given a good stiff zot once a year in order to be a police man

[HardWorkingDem]

36. Why....

being tased once is like getting kicked in the groin.....once it has happened not only do you know what it feels like, but you also realize you don't need to feel it again to know what it feels like.

[me b zola]

22. Sweet Jesus

...what have we become? This is despicable beyond words.

[Raoul]

24. I would say

they hang the coward MFer up by his balls but pigs like that have no balls.

[scentopine]

25. Instead of a goddamn beer summit we need to get these cops under control...

torture is unacceptable whether you are Condi Rice or a small time dumbshit cop. You send the wrong message when you negotiate with torturers and grant them blanket immunity from justice.

[midnight]

30. Good advice.

[sulphurdunn]

27. I have a heart condition and a device

planted in my chest. I can't imagine what getting zapped with 50,000 volts even once, let alone repeatedly, would do to it, and to me.

[era veteran]

29. Fucking PIG

I hope you like Angola bitch.

[intaglio]

31. I thought corruption like that was only fiction n/t

[ThomCat]

34. Not only is it real, it's not all that uncommon.

Once you know it's there, it's not hard to see it in a lot of places, and see it building and growing in a lot of other places. :(

Here in NYC, whenever the UN is in session, cops are out in force closing off streets for the convenience of the honchos. You get rudeness and threats from some of them just because they are cops and they can get away with it. You see how much they enjoy being mean to some people, and how little regard they have for rights.

You see the clear difference too, in how they treat people who are clearly rich versus people who are clearly poor or clearly poor and minority. The prejudice comes right out into the open.

[MightyAfrodite]

33. 17 years old?

He was just a baby. Lord help us all.

[KansDem]

37. Hold on, folks! This isn't "torture," it's "enhanced detention."

Got it? Okay, then...
