The Raw Story | Missouri Police taser injured boy 19 times

July 28th, 2008

I am beginning to believe that we should offer police officers the opportunity to tase the dead carcasses of livestock, just so they can get “wanting to tase things” out of their system. What other reason could they have for tasering an injured teen NINETEEN TIMES other than wanting to try out new technology?

Better idea - maybe they can be offered the opportunity to get into a Laser-Tag style arena and just tase the fuck out of each other. I am sick of these abuse-of-taser stories. Aren’t tasers supposed to be non-lethal force substituted for guns? They surely wouldn’t have considered shooting this boy, and he wasn’t likely to be going anywhere with a broken back and heel, so why in the world would tasers have even come into play? I hope they are all severely disciplined, and then fired. And then prosecuted. Assholes.

The Raw Story | Missouri Police taser injured boy 19 times
KY 3 News’ Sara Sheffield reports on an injured teen from Ozark, Missouri who was tasered up to 19 times by police.

Passing motorists called Ozark police out of concern for the teen as he walked along the busy overpass. When the police arrived, the young man was lying on the shoulder of the highway directly underneath the 30 foot high overpass with a broken back and foot.

      No I, I don't live on the moon

      thing called loving
      When one's still there
      and the other feels nothing
      I would have done anything for you
      I still love you, baby I adore you
