A report issued Wednesday by Boise Community Ombudsman Pierce Murphy found that a Boise police officer who used a Taser on a suspect's buttocks violated the police department's use-of-force policy.
The Boise Police Department did an internal investigation, and both employees were disciplined; details on the discipline were not released. It is considered an internal personnel matter, said police spokeswoman Lynn Hightower.
Murphy transcribed some of it in his report:
Officer #3: Do you feel this?
Complainant: Yes, sir.
Officer #3: Do you feel that? Thats my -
Complainant: Okay
Officer #3: -Taser up your ass.
Complainant: Okay
Officer #3: So dont move.
Complainant: Im trying not to. I cant breathe.
"This exchange, especially the complainants response, strongly suggests that, at that moment anyway, the Taser was pressed between the Complainants buttocks and near his anal area," Murphy wrote in his report on the incident.
Two circular burn marks 1 to 2 centimeters in size were found on the suspect's buttocks, Murphy said.
Officer #3 also threatened to use the Taser on the suspect's genitalia.
Here's more of the transcribed recording of the exchange between Officer #3 and the suspect:
Officer #3: Now do you feel this in your balls?
Complainant: I do, sir. Im not going to move. Im not gonna move.
Officer #3 Now Im gonna tase your balls if you move again.
A minute later, this exchange occurred:
Officer #3: Okay, Im gonna take this Taser out of your asshole now. Are you going to fight with me?
Complainant: No, not at all, sir.

OK, this police taser business has gone way too fraking far. Now, Boise officers got a taser inside a suspect's anuswho was already handcuffedand fired it while everything was caught on tape (Warning: Strong audio violence).
Cop: Do you feel this?
Suspect: Yes, sir.
Cop: Do you feel that? That's my
Suspect: Okay
Cop:
Taser up your ass.
Suspect: Okay
Cop: So don't move.
Suspect: I'm trying not to. I can't breathe.
Cop: Now do you feel this in your balls?
Suspect: I do, sir. I'm not going to move. I'm not gonna move.
Cop: Now I'm gonna tase your balls if you move again.
(A full minute goes by)
Cop: Okay, I'm gonna take this Taser out of your asshole now. Are you going to fight with me?
Suspect: No, not at all, sir.
Cop: (to another cop) So far, for the last two minutes, he's been cooperative. But then my Taser's in his ass.
Then they placed the taser on his genitals and threatened to do the same. The suspect still had burns inside his right buttock 13 days after the brutal attack. [Idaho Statesmen via Carlos MillerThanks Gitemsteve]

Anymore, police are just locally sanctioned domestic terrorists.
I was charged with a DUI in Arizona. I blew a zero.
The reason?
The cop is good buddies with the towing companies owner. He gets a cut every time a car is towed, if you are an out of state driver.
Cops are not your friends. They cannot protect you from anything.

Some folks in power these days love homosexually debasing, threatening and abusing men. They think it is the ultimate power to sexually degrade men and rape them with objects.
We had a journalist for the Miami Herald article yesterday where she (Rosenberg) debased and harassed a military officer with repeated comments about him being homosexually raped with objects. He filed sexaul harassment charges against her.
We have people saying all the time, approvingly, that men in prison will be raped.
We have CNN homosexually debasing the tea parties by calling them “teabaggers.”
Now we have a police officer who thinks it is a cute show of power to stick a taser up a criminal’s butt.
Men, do you this this is a funny and harmless idea that you should be homosexually raped for any reason? In the case of journalists it can be your political views, in the case of crime rape is seen as “just punishment.”
This is the way rape is used to keep women in their place in Muslim Nations and the liberals have decided to use the promotion of the homosexual rape of men to keep them in their place. Feminists would love to see men and boys victimized by massive homosexual rape.
