Man someone is going to have to start a ping list of all of these incidents. Where do they get these guys? I mean you can tell they have really losened the standards for hiring police in the last 20 years.
What about the 80 year old grandmother and the 60 year old daughter that were tasered lat month when the grandmother wouldn't let go of her little red wagon. As I recall the officers beat her until her fake eye popped out.
Maybe someone can find the link to that story.
What's amazing to me is that the more outrageous the incidents get, I think to myself, "now surely this is where everyone will draw the line." And there never fails to be a number of people who will rationalize the incident.
Don't ask. Don't tell.
Technology for 'massive' tasering ready to roll http://www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=ns99996014
Man threatened with jail for 'daring' to take his son off psych drugs http://abcnews.go.com/sections/Living/US/mental_illness_treatment_kids_040607.html
College kid charged with felonies for conducting a peaceful protest . http://boston.indymedia.org/newswire/display/21845/index.php (I realize this was reported in a 'liberal' indymedia outlet. but look at the pictures of him and what they tried to charge him with. they were just outraged that this citizen would 'dare' to protest outside a recruiters office. they try to call those shoelaces 'bomb making materials'? GMAFB!
people don't understand that regardless of your stance on the war or your political views.. try to be rational and impartial, just for once. Anyone who thinks this kid should be charged with several felonies is just screwed up. These strongarm intimidation tactics are not consistent with liberty.
I would love to read the link mentioned above about a taser of another old woman who had a red wagon? (???) and i also heard today that a woman in yellowstone was tracked down for littering in Yellowstone national park 2 years ago. (but of course the same govt cannot track illegal aliens who's visas have expired.)
Could I get a link to that one, please?
