In just five days since I last updated the list of Taser deaths in the United States there has been a further three US citizens tortured to death by Taser. Here are their names: Matthew Bolick, 30, Caucasian, East Grand Rapids, Michigan. Jesus Gillard, 61, Black, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. Ronald Petruney, 49, Race: Unknown, Washington, Pennsylvania. May they all rest in peace.

This report from Electronic Village brings the total US citizens that have been Tasered to death this year to the unacceptable total of forty-six. I doubt that police authorities expected the level of Taser abuse that has now reached epidemic proportions. The idea of a weapon that would not kill but incapacitate a violent or threatening suspect must have seemed like manna from heaven. The general consensus appears to be that Tasers would be used instead of guns therefore reducing deaths at point of arrest. Whether that was a sensible assumption is subject to debate but in practice we now have gung-ho cops using them for the flimsiest of excuses. Ask the question “exactly what is torture?” and most people will proffer an answer. But the mental picture conjured up in your audiences mind will probably differ from person to person. The medieval rack and thumbscrew will come to the minds of many of course but while most of the ancient methods are no longer used they have been replaced with equally heinous practices in modern times. Water-boarding by the United States Secret Service being one exception that has been reborn in recent times. The Twitter email read: “Hi, Dave Knight. RKDefense (HomeDefense) is now following your tweets on Twitter.” Fucking unbelievable RKDefense is a Taser retailer! Will I be following them? No! I class this kind of company along with the Mafia and criminal drug dealers. I am dumbfounded at the sheer depravity of US cops. This story takes the already unbelievable to the lowest ebb of credibility with regard to police behaviour . What the fuck is going on in the US of America? When are the authorities going to put a stop to this brutality? Stockton, Calfornia. Eighty One year-old Victor Schiaffini a disabled man who has suffered six strokes was forced to the ground and Tasered three times. The incident happened on July 29, 2009. Mr Schiaffini has lost the use of his left arm due the strokes and walks with the aid of a cane. As you see from the video Mr Dziekanski couldn’t speak English and another news report quotes a witness as saying he told the cops this. Despite knowing it they gave him instructions in English and expected him to comply. Rory Rickwood designed his Taser Protest Graphic as a response to the killing of Mr. Dziekanski. Police said the officer used a Taser on Mallory, but the suspect attacked him and knocked him to the pavement. During the struggle, the officer shot Mallory. WHAT’S THE LAW? Since when has it been a capital offense to hit a police officer? An offense yes but a death sentence? Relatives say the police used excessive force just to quiet down the backyard party. The home-owner Edgar Rodriguez, says the celebration came to an abrupt halt when his 55-year-old father, Edgar Rodriguez, Sr. was asked for an ID. But Rodriguez Sr. doesn’t speak English. His son had to interpret for him in the above news video. So there’s a good chance he didn’t understand what the cops were asking. He handed it over and the cops Tasered him three times. Andre Thomas, 37, the father of a two and half year-old daughter was killed Tuesday by Swissvale police officers in Pittsburgh. Witnesses say that excessive force was used. After the police Tasered the unarmed man they cuffed him, kicked him and stomped on him. Continuing with my campaign to make people aware of the effect of Tasers, the brutality of the police using Tasers and the threat to life of Tasers I have brought together a few videos that should make even the most closed-minded police-supporter use his/her brain. My on-going posts and evidence will I hope start a public reaction that will get these ‘torture’ machines out of the hands of ‘Rambo Cops’ here in the United Kingdom and hopefully, the rest of the world. These stupid cops! They are called to an address in Boise City, Idaho, USA to investigate an alleged entry and occupation of a house against the owner’s will. It is alleged the police did not identify themselves and forced their way into the house. The suspect, Gerald Amidon, was inside trying patch it up with [...] |
