The Founding Fathers knew that future Government Officials would be tempted to use Cruel and Unusual Punishment as a means to control the populace. That is why they added the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution and why it is repeated in all Fifty State Constitutions. Section 13 and 19 of the Texas Constitution Bill of Rights confirms the intent of the Founding Fathers.

Sec. 13. EXCESSIVE BAIL OR FINES; CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT; REMEDY BY DUE COURSE OF LAW. Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel or unusual punishment inflicted. All courts shall be open, and every person for an injury done him, in his lands, goods, person or reputation, shall have remedy by due course of law.

Sec. 19. DEPRIVATION OF LIFE, LIBERTY, ETC.; DUE COURSE OF LAW. No citizen of this State shall be deprived of life, liberty, property, privileges or immunities, or in any manner disfranchised, except by the due course of the law of the land.

There is no more Cruel and Unusual Punishment than being slowly electrocuted alive with 50,000 volt fish hook barbs driven deep into the flesh of a human being.

Cruel and Unusual Punishment is a clear violation of the U.S. Eighth Amendment.
Punishment of any kind without due process violates the U.S. Fourteenth Amendment.

The United Nations Declared the use of Electronic Torture Devices to be a potentially Lethal form of Torture.

Many Law Enforcement Officials across the Nation, eager to use Electric Torture Devices, failed to demand verifiable human test results as to their safety from the manufacturer. This resulted in over three hundred fifty Electric Torture Device related deaths in the U.S.

The company Taser International manufacturers and sellers of Electric Torture Devices used by most Police Departments lied to every Police Department from the outset. They could not and did not test their Electric Torture Devices under conditions encountered in by police in the field. It is impossible for the manufacturer to have electrocuted human subjects with electrodes in every possible combination of locations on the body and head as it randomly happens in the real world.

Due to inherent in-accuracy of the Taser brand Electric Torture Devices, the projectiles are apt to hit anywhere on the body. This is compounded if the target is moving when an Officer deploys the device.

Electrocutions would also have to be carried out for the various lengths of times to have any validity. Tests would have to be made on subjects with various physical and mental conditions, again with electrodes in every possible position on the body and for the various times that are likely to occur in field use.

An army of masochist-fools would be required to allow these tests to be made on their bodies and obviously there would be a few killed.
The company Taser International lied to every Police Department when they sold their Electric Torture Devices as non-lethal devices. They bragged that it used excruciating pain to control an arrest subject.

The company realized that agony caused by slow electrocution with 50,000 volts of electricity delivered through barbed electrodes driven under the skin constitutes Cruel and Unusual Punishment . They quickly changed their advertising slogans and no longer bragged that their devices caused severe pain. Now they use the less cruel sounding “Neuro-Muscular Disruption”

When they started to get feed back and law suits over Taser related deaths they announced that a Taser was no longer classed as a Non-Lethal but now a Less-Lethal weapon. They no longer call a Taser a “Conducted Energy Device”. It is now a “Electronic Control Device.”

These advertisement changes gives Taser’s Electronic Torture Device the star-trek like description “neuro-muscular disruption” and calling it Less-Lethal gets them off the hook if someone is electrocuted to death.

Taser International got around the test problem by using Police Officers as Lab Assistants and the Public as Lab Rats. They saved even more money by freely harvesting Para-Medic and Emergency room records and Medical Examiners findings.

In September 2009, Taser International sent out a bulletin to all Police Departments to instruct officers not to aim Tasers for the chest area for fear of possible heart stoppage. This had the effect of further pulling the rug out from under every Police Department and Officer that chooses to use these devices. Due to the device’s poor accuracy, each use is playing Russian Roulette with a human life and the company said in effect that it will not stand behind any Officer or Department that causes unintentional death using their devices.

Police Officers who Use Cruel and Unusual Punishment in violation of the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendment of the US Constitution and the Thirteenth Amendment and Nineteenth Amendment of the Texas State Constitution are accountable for State and Federal crimes.

There is no more Cruel and Unusual Punishment Than the use of an Electric Torture Device on a human being and it is a clear violation of the United States Constitution and the Constitution of all fifty States.

Michael Patrick Jacobs Jr. was Electrocuted Alive by a Ft Worth Texas Police Officer using an Electric Torture Device. He had barbed electrodes shot one half inch into his neck and chest and 50,000 volts of Electricity flowed through his head and body for fifty-four screaming, agonizing, seconds before his nerves were seared and his young healthy heart was stopped from beating.

Michael Patrick Jacobs Junior was neither charged nor convicted of anything yet he suffered thirteen times more screaming agony than a Convicted Felon would suffer from electrocution in the Electric Chair.
Use of The Electric Chair was declared to be Cruel and Unusual Punishment.

Michael Jacobs treatment at the hands of Ft Worth Tx. Police was a clear violation of both of the U.S. and Texas Constitution. His Death was declared a Homicide. His killer goes unpunished.
