Police Brutality: Cops Taser Senior Citizen In Own Home

"In America, now officially a police state, you will be tasered in your own home if you lip off to the police.
Senior citizen Peter McFarland of Marin County, California, discovered this after he fell down the stairs outside his home last year. On June 29, 2009, McFarland tumbled down the stairs and after his wife called paramedics the cops showed up. They entered McFarland’s home and tasered him because they claimed he was suicidal."

Another cop being a pussy and using his taser when absolutely no force may have been necessary at all.

I'm curious though; do police in the U.S. have the right to enter a home if an ambulance has been called? Do they have the right to remain after being asked to leave if someone has threatened to kill themselves?

No, they do not have the right. But it is incumbent upon the person in distress to file charges, the burden of proof lies with the accuser in this case.

Wow. Good luck trying to keep your job, dick face. Way to make it harder on all the honest cops. You would think that having a camera on the taser would make morons like this think twice before tasing a guy that's slowly getting off his couch. Get the fuck out of his house next time.

Made perfect sense to me:

"You're suicidal and have a potential heart condition. But its alright, we're here to help you, we're going to exacerbate your heart condition and endanger your life by tasering you, thereby assisting your suicide. Stop resisting the will to live. You'll die quicker if you give in and let your heart stop. Stop resisting..."

The last quote given .... "Its hard to imagine something this shocking can happen"

Damn right, oh and ...the fuck?! What, were the cops bored and needed something to do, this sounds like really poor judgement to say the least.

About five years ago I woke up in the middle of the night with severe pain in my groin and lower back/abdomen. I had my wife call an ambulance because I was afraid my appendix was about too burst or something. Fast forward 30 minutes later. The ambulance has arrived and I am on the gurney behind the ambulance in my yard. thats when the cops rolled in. In a case such as this it is common for the paramedic to do a test to see if it is indeed appendicitis or something less severe such as a kidney stone. The test is that they lift one leg (the affected side) and bend the kne, raising the knee as close to the torso as possible...if it is your appendix you will feel an intense but brief shock of pain and instinctively kick hard to straighten your leg. it was indeed my appendix and when he bent my leg I kicked, the paramedic lost control of my leg and I ended up bloodying the paramedics lip. he laughed it off since it is common (I learned later)

The two county sheriff deputies drew their tasers and commanded me to stand down. I was writing in pain strapped to a gurney. there was alot of shouting, one of the officers starting chanting his mantra of "lay still or I will tase you!" I couldn't lay still, I was in agony. the paramedic actually put himself between the sheriff and myself saving me from getting tased. Off we went to the hospital, My wife had to stay home because we have small children and couldn't get anyone to stay with them at 3am. later I learned that the officers had entered my home and performed a search without my wifes consent. she finally relented when they threatened to tase her and charge her with obstruction...this would have led to her arrest and the children being placed into police care *shudder* The police left when they couldnt find anything damning.
a few days later as I was recovering in the hospital from the surgery I received a notice that assault charges had been filed on me ON BEHALF of the paramedic I had "Assaulted" after getting home from the hospital I contacted the EMS service and was notified that the paramedic had refused to file charges even after being threatened by the two officers...so they went and filed charges on his behalf (perfectly legal for them to do I guess)

three court appearances and almost a year later I was finally cleared of this charge of assaulting an emergency responder (a felony) when the paramedic took the stand and explained to the judge just how everything had went down. since I had obviously plead not guilty I was liable for all the court fees on the defense. a few grand.

I have never had a criminal record, and a well established successful member of my community and I was almost raped by the people who are supposedly there to serve and protect...so yeah..cops can go suck a dick, every last one of them.

HAHA! Good luck living in CA.

What happened here is that cops figured out if they claim they are investigating 5150 they can taser the hell out of you. The Marin County Sheriff released their taser report and check out how many times, they are like "he said he would shoot himself".

So when lazy cops get lazy or want to tase someone for not showing proper respect they just do this. The cops were (according to that report) going to take him in for 5150 72-hour hold no matter what. But I like how they taser an old man. Cowardly asshole cops are no better than south park parody.



By the way, you gotta wonder about a fucking Sheriff that sticks up for the video, no one will ever be suspended or disciplined and is defending the claim that this guy "charged at the deputies". The Marin County Sheriff should go to jail for criminal conspiracy.

Marin County Sheriff Robert T. Doyle claims this man charged cops.

Here is the sheriff's press release

Story about being ass-raped by pigs.


Unfuckingbelievable. I mean seriously, if this is how the justice system fucks its citizens over, no wonder people fear and hate the police and go vigilante. Shit like that can drive a man to kill. FTMFP.

Upvote for embedding the same clip from South Park that I was about to use when watching this video.

"Stop resisting"? Seriously? He was just lying on the floor, not even attempting to get up.

They can take you within an inch of your life, and the worst that happens to them is their fired.


No, actually they are usually charged and sent to jail... But we can go to pretend world and feel better about ourselves by saying all they get is fired.

Side note, we all commit crimes yet not all go to jail like we should.

Blame it on America's unyelding sense of justice. All must be punished. We are like the borg and we raise borg police officers. Our society (and many like ours) dole out punishment to placate everyone's need for hypocritical retribution.

Pot? Go to jail! Fight? Go to jail. Accident? Go to jail. Have to pee, public? Go to jail. Accidentally kick a paramedic in the face due to medical condition, which is still agaianst the law? Go to jail. Sick.

Some police officers are capable of making rational decisions in cases like this. Some years ago I was arrested for impaired driving. At the cop shop I made some stupid drunken comment about how I might as well be dead. The cop asked me if I was serious and I said of course not. He said "Good, because if I thought you were at all serious I would have to hold you." Then he drove me home.

Who said your opinion is incorrect? I am simply saying my observations of this kind of thing tend to disprove what you are saying. Direct violence that is blatant? It get's handled in the court of law. The "close calls" usually just end up dying in the breeze---as they should. Hindsight is 20/20 and stupid.


Now, there are cases where nobody can prove excessive violence was used and I assume you are reffering to those incidents. However, since the burden of proof lies not on the defender, of course this is the standard. Prove it or lose it.


Society is changing...police cameras are a direct example that this hit-and-hide game is not accepted anymore. Some people think the cameras were installed to protect officers, and that is true for those good guys blamed unfairly. The cameras, however, were installed to catch those officers who use blatant violence...

Pretty much pure bullshit here ain't it?

Cops do unlawful things and straight crimes a don of times, most never ever reported or prosecuted.

Most things cops do wrong, never get punished. What a load of bullshit you are saying. And it goes for every single country with a police force, the majority of the police errors are unpunished. Why? cause it's the Law and the brotherhood of the badge vs some Idiot civilian

((*edit-By-Snohw-*)) Actually most they ever get is nothing at all, maybe a fine or reprimand ((*edit*))
