Back to my soap box: Fucking Tasers


Yep, because someone face-down on the ground, handcuffed, deserves 50,000 volts of potentially-lethal force.

Anyone that knows me, or has read this blog, knows that my biggest hangup with the murderous, unhinged cop mentality is through the use of Tasers. These so-called "restraint" devices are an alternative to lethal force. That is, they are meant to be discharged in scenarios where lethal force would otherwise be justified. However, they are used -far too often- by these authoritarian, sadistic fruitcakes as a means to terrorize, humiliate and physically harm suspects, in situations that clearly would not otherwise indicate drawing a firearm and attempting to kill a perpetrator.

Despite repeated deaths, over and over again, from these enablers of the police state, Taser International has long denied that Tasers actually can kill. Well, guess who decided to jump on the Painfully-Fucking-Obvious Bandwagon today? Taser International. In fact, they warned that officers should not fire into the CHESTS of a suspect because of potential lethal heart attacks. Gee, fucking think that might happen when you tase 72 year old women with 50,000 volts? Or 12 year old kids? Thanks for playing Taser.



Since 2001, these "non lethal" weapons of civilian terror have killed 350 SUSPECTS!
