A young Black boy tasered in the gentiles several times until he passed out and soiled his clothes! This is the absurd things that some degenerate Law Officers do while abusing the taser that is supposed to be a “Non Lethal” weapon. (Lauren Kelley, the 6 Most Shocking Cases of Police Stun-Gun Abuse, AlterNet, December 7, 2010, http://www.alternet.org/story/149115/)
This list of reported abuses includes:
ü Man having diabetic seizure tasered 11 times,
ü Officers taser 14-year-old boy, sending him into cardiac arrest, Officers repeatedly taser,
ü threading to sodomize foster children,
ü Mentally ill man falls to his death after being tasered,
ü Bipolar man killed by taser for running down street naked,
ü 10-year-old child tased at day care.
ü Etc.
These are, of course, just a few examples that point to a much larger problem of taser abuse by police. Law Enforcement most times is our front line against terrorist, friends of the public, not terrorist!!
Our Police officers are not so much chosen or trained for their humanity and intellect but more for their large stature and ability to act with barbaric intensity at the slightest provocation. They are especially laden with large doses of ethnic and racial bias and prone to profiling at the drop of a hat. They are indoctrinated with the “Us and Them” knee jerk reaction to their encounters. This leaves the Black and poor disproportionately on the end of excessive force.
Until it’s proven that the laser weapons are truly non-lethal – and that police can use them responsibly – we should push back against efforts like Chicago’s to get more tasers into more officers’ hands.
