Exactly, he should be thanking the police they didn’t take this as a lethal threat.

what everyone would be saying if this was a bible!

The same thing that they are saying here. The guy was an idiot who just as easily been holding a gun. The cops didn't know it was a Quran, Bible, or a copy of the Victoria Secret's Catalog under his shirt, they just knew he didn't obey when they told him to put his hands up.

It’s probably the order to load the charges in the clip and the dots probably glow in the dark.

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.

Light chain mail would work by preventing skin penetration and shorting out the electricity. But, chain mail isn't the lightest, most comfortable thing to wear, and it probably makes a weird clinking sound as you move.

Jeffrey Shields

Okay, what's his REAL name?? If he's got a Koran under his shirt, his name isn't #*%! Jeffrey Shields!

I would guess it would be something like "Jeffrey Hussein-Achmed Shields". or some other similar middle name that involves clearing the throat and spitting in order to be able to pronounce it.

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!

Hey, you didn't capitalize "Bible"! But that's not important right now.

He could have been holding the original signed copy of the Constitution itself inside his shirt - the cops would still be justified in their actions here, IMO.

Who carries their Koran under their shirt? The cops did the absolute right thing here.

Welcome to America, Muslim turd! Now learn the rules.

It may well be that this is a home-grown one....our prison system turns them out by the thousands.  Having 'familiarity' with the prison system might explain this scum's disrespect for a police officer's commands as well.  If he's dumb enough to get thrown into prison to begin with, he's quite likely dumb enough to convert to islam as well as to commit other infractions while he's out.

Breathtakingly stupid people frequently live out their whole lives as breathtakingly stupid people, never learning obvious truths and always blaming others.

I do prehospital emergency medicine, and the vast majority of my 'clientele' are astonishingly stupid people who have injured themselves in amazingly dumb ways.  If it weren't for magically stupid people, I would likely be out of work as would about 80% of our police officers.  Darwinism is definitely out there, and people like me as well as our police officers prevent Darwinism from working it's magic on the gene pool.

Sorry about that.   :-)

I would only wish to suggest that they should have shot him multiple times and put him down instantly like a rabid dog..

He continued his noncompliance until he was tazed THREE TIMES....more than enough time to activate a detonator if that's what he had.  If this had been the case and it was a public area, we could be talking about dozens or scores of fatalities right now instead of a funny story about some idiot muzzie jerkoff who refused a police officer's lawful commands.

Thank you very much for your kind words.  :-)

I would imagine that some do, but there are a few folks who actually sustain 'legitimate' injuries and illnesses (caused by something other than their own idiocy) and these are the ones that make the job worthwhile, meaningful and fun  :-)
