SALEM, OR – An incident is being investigated where a police officer in Oregon was harassing a man who was sitting down reading a book at a local transit mall. The officer grabs the man’s skateboard, throws it and tells him to put his hands behind his back. The man stands up and begins to walk away, pulling out his cell phone to make a call, causing the officer to deploy the taser in the man’s back. At the moment there has been no information from the local police released as to the motive for the officer’s attack on the citizen.

You don't know the whole story.

Maybe the guy was pimping his blog and not providing links.

LOL the headline suggests that he was reading the book when he got tasered.

The officer grabs the man’s skateboard

Sounds more like a teenager...........So what else isn't the author telling us?

I noticed the source of this “article”.

Libertarian Republic?

Blog pimp notwithstanding, the report that “police aren’t talking about prior-video lead up can’t be discussed because it is part of the investigation” is patent bullshit.

The reason MA won’t allow citizens to have weapons is to keep their jackbooted thug LEOs from getting shot by a law abiding citizen because of tyranny against peaceful citizens.

The author continued the "misrepresentation" in the story too ...

...where a police officer in Oregon was harassing a man who was sitting down reading a book

Probably a lot more to this story than what's been presented in this "unbiased" report.

So if you “resist arrest”, even when you are innocent, you get tased.
The USA is a fascist dictatorship.

Don’t worry, internal affairs will clear the police officer of any wrongdoing.

Thanks for the link, Rio.

It mentions a previous Salem PD incident in which tasing led to a Nan’s death in 2009: http://www.salem-news.com/articles/may242009/taser_death_052409.php

TheProducer, more info is always appreciated — do you have any updates on this situation? I’ve added keywords to check for previous coverage.
