old man tazed

[Beowulf]

Oh come on. LOOK AT THE VIDEO! The frail old man was just sitting there with his pant sleeve rolled up over his knee, and when he slowly got up, ZAPPP!!! Case closed as far as I'm concerned. These cops are just thugs.

No kidding, and that's pretty clear to any rational person. I'm not going to sit here and try and defend against facism. You guys that want to think that there's nothing wrong with with this and the old dude should have just "done what he was told" go ahead, but when something like this happens to you, don't say I didn't tell you so.

Yeah, no kidding indeed. If I witnessed that happening to my father or friend, I would be in jail.

not me. if you're smart - the officer will be either in jail or filling the gas.

And if it had been me with my father I would have encouraged him to obey the officer. Then I would call my lawyer to clear it up.

I have had my sobriety questioned thanks to Menieres. I didn't get Tased because I complied. Then I got cleared, and I got an apology. And I rarely get a ticket now when I am pulled over. Coincidence???

just think.. why did the judge throw the charges out?

"Scott says his client was arrested, jailed and charged with resisting arrest. A judge later dismissed the charge.

Scott says the deputies had no search warrant or legal reason to enter McFarland's home and even if they thought he was drunk and suicidal, Scott says the Tasing was excessive force."

And you don't think that's excessive for an old man who obviously has no weapons at all and is cranky.

I was referring to the video. If my father got up like the guy in the video, gets zapped, and is writing in agony on the floor, I would attempt to remove the taser wires and no doubt get arrested at least. Anything beyond this point would be pure conjecture.

well - either way... he will get arrested so he had a choice - the easy way or the hard way. Why not just take it easy for yourself and get arrested with a smile on your face, knowing that you will have the officer's badge on your mantle?

yes that's what I'm talking about. You're not helping the situation. You're going to exacerbate it for both of you. oh btw - I don't think you should attempt to remove the tazer. The barb is shaped like a fishhook. Leave it to EMS to remove it.
