15 Year old autistic boy tased
Wheelchair Bound Woman Dies From Taser
Airforce Veteran shot 3 times for following police orders
I keep hearing of these incidents of tasers being used by police. Where does this hostility toward every one come from. Just yesterday I read an article of an elderly woman who was tased for a total of 120 seconds over the course of several minutes by two different officers. The woman died within the hour. She was a schizophrenic in a wheelchair. Is the time it takes to negotiate with people in a non violent manner a way of the past? I will remember these incidents if I ever end up in a situation where I am being hassled by police. This incites fear in the population. I remember back when we were told that police officers were our friends. You get older and suddenly they are out to get you, because you just happen to be a teenager and you are obviously up to no good. It never mattered where you were. If you were babysitting your kid brother at a playground with a couple of your friends, you must be selling drugs or worse.
It is sad to see how bad this country has fallen.
