rougysays...The question regarding how we're seeing more taser incidents is, in my opinioin, due to YouTube and cellphone cameras.
This kind of abuse has gone on for a long, long time, but the bad cops kept getting away with it because there was never any tangible evidence to document the abuse.
I really hate to say this, but abusive cops are abusive because they enjoy it.
winkler1says...I totally agree.. it's transparency. Would Foley have fessed up without the IM transcripts? Would OJ be in doodoo if not for the audio recording? Nope. Those kinds of records make it real.
Sure looks like this cop belongs in Jail.. sadist.
quantumushroomsays...This "thinkpiece" is from the Communist News Network, founded by a socialist nitwit. FOX-haters should not get a free pass trying to slip this BS by as credible or unbiased "news".
We've all seen vids of men even bigger than that fatassed cop go flying from a Taser shot, so it's reasonable to assume this crazy broad was hopped up on something, not to mention kicking at an officer through the window.
The Taser was invented in part so people like this wouldn't get cracked in the head or choked out by nightsticks. It's humanitarian.
But I don't love it because of that. I love it because it combines two of my favorite things: high voltage and people who never learn.
rougysays...Sure, QM, you're a real authority.
Love your country, fight for your freedom - go to Iraq.
tremormilosays...I truly pity folks like you, QM. It must be awful to be filled with such insecurity and self-loathing that you'll surrender authority to anyone who demands it.
Some of us prefer to feel and think, even if it does require a little more balls and brainpower.
Rottysays...I'm guessing there are a few other reason for this guy not being a sanctioned storm trooper besides the fact that he's a fat pig.
I guess the only good thing you can say about tasers is that someone is less likely to get beaten to death from nightsticks, flashlights, blackjacks or whatever these morons are carrying anymore.
Unchecked, this violence will continue and probably increase. And for those who think "...they probably deserved it...", remember, you, your family or friends are only one incident away from dealing with one of these bastards having a "bad day" or whatever it takes for the for them to flip out. However, the solution is to become a sheep and get in formation with the rest.
MarineGunrocksays...I fucking hate cops like this. They make it so hard for the honest ones to make a living without being hated by all.
Of course that guy that the reporter interviewed is an idiot. "Shot her at close range" No shit, it's a fucking taser, not a sniper rifle. As far as the "Misfired" claim goes: Bullshit. The darts are shot out of a detachable cartridge on the front of the gun.
I will say this, however, she must have been drugged up or something, because when I was tazed, as well es everyone around me, your muscles lock up so much that you can't move at all.

lavollsays...fat sadist
joedirtsays...Here's the deal all you pro-militarized police forces... Tasers are LESS lethal weapons. They should only be used when someone's life is at risk.
Drunk chicks who are handcuffed in the back of a cruiser do not meet that standard. Hello, assholes, you are condone institutionalize torture. When our brilliant "peace" officers take CUSTODY of a suspect, that person is deprived of their liberty and in exchange we guarantee them
rights of habeas corpus, rights against cruel and unusual treatment.Can a taser kill you? Yes. Does the risk go up when you've been tased for 7 cycles? Yes. Are drunk people more prone to heart and respiratory problems, probably. Would a taser be less effective on a clearly smashed drunk person, yes. Is this a new toy that cops feel like using because it is "easier", yes. Is this different from a cow prod or bullwhip? Nope, we're all n****rs now.
