Minnesota Man Tasered to Death for Non-Compliance

[superkia]

Hey look, another senseless killing.

Authorities are investigating the death of a 29-year-old Fridley man shot with a Taser by state troopers, who said he had become “uncooperative” after a rush-hour crash Tuesday evening.



I wonder if Americans will ever wake up to the abuses of these tasers or will they continue to act like they are being used only when necessary until its them or their family member that dies?

Wake up America!

First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.

1. You know the sheriff has his troubles too

He might just, might just take them out on me and you...

Be careful out there, people.

2. Wasn't the stated purpose of using tasers was to prevent unneeded deaths?

3. Considering the Detroit Police used to beat people with metal flashlights...

I think the police really do believe that tasers are better than the old methods.

The Detroit Police retired the 14 inch long flashlights after a couple of old cops (that should have been doing bike safety lectures at local elementary schools, not out on regular patrol)beat Malice Green to death with them.

4. I dont like the tasers because more abuse can happen with less...

evidence left to show the abuse. I know that beating people to death or just in general is not god but at least the victims body showed signs of the evidence, tasers may leave a mark of some kind but they can always say they used it correctly and thats it. The tasers are being used just about for anything and people are dieing, if its me, I want the physical beating so I can hold someone accountable for their abuses.
