Out of Hand

[TexasRed]

:evil: This shit is really getting out of hand. Even saw where another Canadian died a few days after he got tasered - which happened a week or so after the Canadian in the airport was tased to death.

Six months after *****motorcycle club member ***** died after being Tasered by San Jose police officers, his family says they still have no answers.

Tuesday night, they had a candlelight vigil at City Hall, demanding that the city release police reports surrounding his death on May 25.

***** led the 40 gathered at the vigil, to call for justice in her father's death.

"It's frustrating and awful," she said. "We still don't have answers after all this time."

But she vowed to keep fighting.

During the May 25 incident, police officers were responding to a disturbance at a North First Street motel room when they confronted *****. Police said a struggle ensued and ***** was shocked with Tasers. He was pronounced dead at the scene by medical personnel.

They need one of their worthless Senators, or Councilmen to help out, fat chance. I bet if it had been a politician tasered, they would have answers by now :arg:

I guess I just don't understand what non-lethal means :???:

What I don't understand, that while this is sad & all, cops die all the time, & there isn't as much outcry over them... how come? You cannot say because it is in the line of duty, because then it is also why the taser deaths occur. And because every person's body is different, a 'non-lethal' amount for one, obviously isn't the same for another.
Just seems odd to me...

Are you kidding me we had a Cop get killed in the line of duty a couple of months ago in Toronto, and the city stood still, the city was fuckin outraged that this little fuck car thief wasn't in jail....the bottom line is when something is fucked up or morally wrong, citizens will speak out....cop or not a cop...and they did

I'll tell ya what I worked the door at a bar, where there was shit ahppening everyweekend...I did this for 8 years...I KNOW what it's like trying to subdue someone who's drunk, or even worse hopped up on coke or PCP, it ain't fun, but when theirs 3 good sized doorman and one idiot....it was easy enough to get them out the door or on the ground.

Pulling out a tazer is fucking ludicrous in my mind....unless the guy has a gun, and if he has a gun you empty your clip in his head???
