LOL - you just made me think of one of my former co workers.... he asked me to put a table of contents on my emails.

No promises, kind of goes against my detail oriented nature by I'll try:beer:

EDIT: Crap Lotus - You have a picture for everything don't you? :crackup:

I can't think of anything to respond to that with, so here's this.

Here's the thing... comes down to how much they fear repercussions.

If a cop uses a baton, it is VERY easy to do some serious and easy to see (to sue for) damage. On the other hand a taser will not leave much of a mark at all. So when a suspect is released from custody the next day, if they have a ton of bruises and a broken arm... well that's grounds for a police brutality claim, but if all they have are a couple of red spots... no one cares.

If you look around the next time you're out and about, you will see that many police departments have switched away from the old fashion "T" control baton. The reason for this is that there were too many lawsuits and complaints. They are also a pain to carry.

Right now cops are still enjoying relative immunity with tasers, and it will be years before there are better regulations. Also as I said above... cops are very very similar to criminals, and hurting people, dominating them, controlling them... it's part of the personality. If they can do it with ease, and suffer no consequences... why wouldn't they do it.

The thing that drives me nuts is that they often don't follow the rules in using them... YOU DO NOT TASER A PERSON IN THE HEAD OR CHEST, if they did, there wouldn't be nearly as many incidents making onto the news.

EDIT: Many police departments have adopted a policy that only cops who have experienced being tasered are allowed to carry tasers. Unfortunately most haven't. Also it's one thing to get tasered while being held by two people so you don't fall onto a training mat, and another altogether to be tasered on pavement.

They also tased over and over and have killed a few people. Most of the videos i've seen they seem to enjoy it and think its's funny.

Honestly this is the only forum I've ever been on that goes off topic on just about every post, LOL. Lots of opinionated people here. Some to opinionated.

I don't get that Rule. Isn't the point of a Forum discussion is to have it lead where ever it gos? I get the idea to keep it back on topic but a few posts about something that came up can't be that bad?

Tis true, but I dont write bricks. Not busting your balls, but I cant even read most of what you write because it makes my eyes cross. I try to be short, and sweet.

Most people here do not have a large attention span to read bricks. I'd just recommend sticking to the points, and making general statements. People here are smart here, they will know what you are talking about.

LOL I Personally don't mind. And not saying that was in particular but most "Bricks" (As You Call Them) have a Lot Of Good Information... IMHO.

EDIT: On To Topic. this is Good News But It would be Nice if they explained more that you can't crash a plane unless in on the incoming landing. Other wise in normal Flight you can flash blind them and it would go away and nothing bad would happen to the plane. But the News Acts like you can make plane drop from the sky and that not quite true. You should never point a laser at anything with people in it period but I'd like them to have the facts right.

I'd bet these are the same @$$holes who used to kick suspects after they are already on the ground and in handcuffs. Now they just do it with a push of a button instead.

To them it is funny. Again cops = criminals = control freaks. A bit of an exaggeration but some of these so called LEOs out there are absolutely the worst scum... with badges.

You have no idea how much some of these guys get off on power and control... so before these guys actually had get physical in some way... now they don't even have to break a sweat, just whip out a taser.

To be perfectly honest I would much rather be put in a sleeper hold by someone who knows what they are doing than tasered.

Unfortunately things aren't gonna change anytime soon.

Edit: ***Pure Fantasy - Please do not attempt.*** Standoff with a cop. He says "Get on the ground b*tch or I'm gonna taser you!" You respond "F*ck you pig, I'm gonna LASER you!"

Thanks, TJ. I feel better about myself:crackup::beer:

It's true that people have died from getting tazed, but at the same many of those who have died were on something. ie. crack or heroin, so it doesn't take much more for his or her heart to stop. Yes police may be control freaks, but not every single officer is like that, i know a couple and they are pretty good guys.

InfinitusEquitas · Jun 2, 2011

^^^I'm not saying all are. Of the ones I know personally most are nice guys. It's the 5% or so that scare the $hit out of me, and the 93% who bend the rules and let it slide that concern me. The remaining two are IA.

I do understand that someone coke, meth, angel dust is very hard to put down, and they may not be in the best condition to take a hit from a taser in the first place. I don't think anyone would argue that situation.

What I do have a problem with are situations where a fat cop decides running after a suspect and tackling is too hard. Or a 200lb 6ft+ cop using a taser on a 130lb elderly woman.

I mean honestly, something is F*CKED UP if things like these are happening and they are allowed to happen legally: YouTube - ‪Cowardly Pittsburgh cops Taser subdued woman‬‏

There is absolutely no justification for that situation, and what you have to consider are all the incidents that never make it to youtube, let alone the news, or even a report.

Thats nothing I have seen them shock Grandma's for not getting out of there car fast enough. ^^^

Lotus_Darkrose · Jun 2, 2011

I do that too though, Krogith. I have places to go, things to do. Can't wait on nanna to get out of her buick.

Maybe there were trying to defibrillate her heart - at least that's probably went in the report:yabbmad:

Cops always wonder why people hate them... I mean really, why do they wonder:thinking:

Lotus_Darkrose · Jun 2, 2011

I have a picture for that.

I think that guys Eye fell out and the medic is "Pushing" it back in Place. It's like a chiropractor, you think it would hurt but it's a balance of Force and Proper Angle Aliment.

My two cents. Nobody here knows the full story of most of this stuff. That woman was *not* restrained... or else she'd already have the cuffs on her. I watched it four times. They were trying to cuff her, she was resisting and actually got one arm free before they tazed her. You also have to look at the environment and situation as well. They're dealing with multiple troublemakers in a riot/demonstration situation. If YOU were in that situation.. would YOU want to have to waste time dealing with one resisting subject when theres other looting/violence etc going on?
