Joe Arpaio, the vicious, cruel and corrupt Sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona is a symbol of a society that has become infected with hatred and fear. Arpaio’s brand of ‘law enforcement’ is now becoming commonplace not only within the United States but wherever the US has or attempts to grab control. It’s infected the police [...] In May 2006, over 45 women were arrested without explanation in San Salvador Atenco, Mexico. Many were subjected to physical, psychological and sexual violence by the police officers who arrested them and then held in prison for days before being released on bail. More than three years have passed and they are still waiting for [...] One particular case is in the spotlight, that of Steven Butler who on October 7, 2006 was Tasered three times by a cop in his home town of Watsonville, California. Steven suffered cardiac arrest and his brain was starved of oxygen. He is now permanently disabled. Now I am not suggesting that all cops are ignorant, sadistic low-life. But the more I research, the more I read and almost every time I come into contact with cops (yes, here in England too) even to ask directions I have to conclude that a good cop is an exception. There have been deaths wherever Tasers are used but in the United States it is an epidemic. Cops in the US are just plain crazy and because they are never been held accountable they continue to abuse the people they are employed to serve. Today is my birthday but the second coming didn’t happen in 1944. Pity really I would have quite enjoyed walking on water. As regular readers will have noticed there haven’t been any posts for a couple of weeks. That is because I was a victim of police brutality on Saturday 13 and I am still suffering from the effects of it. All the details after Christmas. Here is an excerpt from a petition to the US congress, taser torture in America – a call for Congressional Hearings. “We call on our Congress to speak out and organize public hearings on the systemic human rights violations occurring with Federal funding against black, Latino, Native American and other Americans. How “out of control” can a ten-year-old be? He was wielding a length of pipe and he threw a stick at the officers. He cornered himself so they decided to Taser him. Damning medical research finds evidence that Tasers do kill and without reducing injuries to police officers. The cop who Tasered a 10-year-old girl for refusing to take a shower has been sacked. But not for torturing a 10-year-old little girl but for not turning the camera on that is attached to the Taser. |
