Someone mentions an Amnesty International report saying cops torture to death about 5 people a year with these devices.
Oops. Five a month.
Generally unresisting civilians who've done nothing wrong of course.

What, no link? Not likely as anyone with half sense knows you made that crap up.

This incident is directly related to my point here. (4.00 / 1)
The video clearly shows an uncooperative and belligerent Winkfein. However, as we have often discussed on this blog (here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here), officers now routinely use tasers when there is a failure to obey commands - a casual use of the weapon that has resulted in injuries and abuse in some cases.

"YOU MUST OBEY or I will tazer you" is the authoritarian cop rule of post-9/11 Amerika. That needs to end.
BTW, Turley's "a casual use of the weapon that has resulted in . . . abuse in some cases" indicates his lack of understanding, since using the weapon simply because individuals fail to obey command is nearly always an abuse, since tazering is torture.

I accept (0.00 / 0)
it happens. I see no proof that it's a general thing.
If a cop has to take someone into custody who resists, what is your alternative suggestion? Beating them with billy clubs until they submit is not so pleasant either.
At least some of these "failure to obey" types are trying to make a scene. The "pleaes don't tase me bro" dude had every chance to leave without an altercation and chose to force one. You do not have an infinite right to screw with everyone else in an unreasonable fashion.

thanks, I needed a li'l ego boost (4.00 / 1)
BTW, I'm thinking I'll start posting my shit over at freespeechzone again. Just to see what kind of reaction I'll get from that misguided, probly on CIA payroll, handful.

just seemed odd you answered for him (2.00 / 1)
If you share a body, at least you make rational points some percentage of the time.

If you combine Byron's and FairLeft's output, that is a full-time astroturfing job. They both are pro-Palestinian. Byron is an anti-semite. Byron professes to be a progressive, but he also writes a lot of anti-feminist rants. That's highly unlikely for a lefty. Lefties do not hate Jews nor women. I think this was a mistake by an intel worker. Yet, the way soapblox is set up, individuals cannot edit or delete their posts. So FairLeft just carried on and never provided a decent explanation for responding as if he were DavidByron. Oops. {This was a cross-post from my forum. I'd just like to add that you'd think this would be big news to the people at the websites that failed at stealing the legacy of Peeder from DKOS who established something called the Political Flesh Feast. The historic troll Donkeytale has been all over Fairleft for being a fraud or something like that as a blogger. Yet, donkeytale has conveniently missed this incident. Clearly one can now see that Fairleft and DavidByron are the same person.}
