Tasercops Really Going Wild
September 25, 2007
CBS’ “Early Show” reported this morning that more than 11,000 police departments are now equipped with tasers, compared to only 700 six years ago. They’re probably funded from the “Homeland Security” pork barrel. The show interviewed a young woman who got drunk at a wedding and ended up with 32 taser burns in her pants. The video showed a cop kicking her while she was already on the ground. She tries to stand up and he tasers/electrocutes her again, causing her to fall and hit her head on the side of her car.
Our local serve-and-protect tax collector/bureaucrats have killed 200 of us by taser electrocution in the past five years according to CBS.
