i can't imagine what everyone would be saying if this was a bible! they would be calling for the cop's heads on a platter! the original call had nothing to do with ethnicity so it could just have easily been a bible.

come on. gimme this much at least!

" said he did not want to raise his right hand from under his shirt because he did not want to drop the Quran"

What the hell was he doing holding his quran uder his shirt?

Is that some kind of muslim thing?

Doesn't matter anyway..."Show me your hands" means what it it means...

Case closed...

[Red_Devil 232]

It was a set up! A suspect who looks like the tasered reported to have explosives in a book? Come On!!!

[eyedigress]

OK! :^)

Some might. But frankly, if a police officer tells you to do something, shut up and do it. It’s really not that hard. Especially when it’s glaringly obvious that they’re not interested in listening to what you have to say.

Glock 45’s need to replace tasers. There wouldn’t be so much protesting afterward.

That would be Glock 21`s IN .45 cal. And yes, they "kick azz!

what is the meaning of the markings on the bottom of the magazines? brail???

[apillar]

A little off topic, but all these recent taser stories have got me wondering why some enterprising engineering student hasn't developed some sort of taser proof apparel.

I don't know what it would be, I was a business major, maybe some sort of rubber under-suit or something that would ground the charge before it reached the target.

I imagine the person that comes up with such an invention would make millions from the liberal activist, student protester, general malcontent crowd. Of course then the police would just fall back to pepper spray, or the old tried and true billy club, but don't tell that to the protesters.

Yeah, except that this wouldn’t be news if it was a Bible.

[TLI]

This is the 21 in .45 cal. A little bit of perfection.

"Show me your hands" means what it it means...

Really. How many of us regularly get into contests of wills with officers of the peace? I know I don't. The few times I've been pulled over I accept that the situation is now under the officer's control, and it was, and things went smoothly, and I ended up going on my way, with peace and civility had by all.

I guess I should have argued every step of the way and made a huge fantastic ass of myself, like taser boy and quran guy. Looking back, though, I have no regrets.

oh this is funny

[Beagle8U]

Grabbing at his shirt and wont stop? Shoot him! Problem solved.

[yldstrk]

Well ain’t that too dumb bad.

“It is odd that he waited so long to file a complaint, 19 days or so,”

Not really. It took that long for someone to contact CAIR.

[thefactor]

what? i really want to know what those markings mean. is it a military thing? they don’t carry glocks. someone tell me!
