Michigan 15-year-old dies after police Taser himhttp://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090322/ap_on_re_us/teen_taser_death

our war on crime is a failure, why are we so hysterical over made up fake crimes that people will actually say these yahoo cops did the right thing, by killing someone over a fist fight/argument.

As much as I like being kept up-to-date on these things, this thread is off-topic for the forum.

The better use for this info is to save a link, and then post it into a thread discussion when tazers comeup under discussion.

JohnnyB, I supported you when you kept it to satire. You were even humorous from time to time.

But, if you don't knock off the cop bashing type stuff I'll write the alerts about your presence to John and Mike myself. Please just stop. I won't say why.You've been told over and over and over.

PS: Can you change your screen name? Ituses so much columnwidththat the columns on the mainthread title page are shifted all out of proportion.

The kid died because he refused to stop his illegal actions, and then attacked a cop, also illegal.

I don't have much sympathy for thugs.

Assault and battery is not a made up fake crime.

The guy, 15 or not, should know better than attacking responding officers. What they were supposed to do - run away from him so he doesn't hurt them? WTF is police for then? I'm no fan of police overstepping their legal boundaries, but i'm also against neutering the cops. They are called LAW ENFORCEMENT for a reason - you need to use FORCE to ENFORCE. If it was just an argumentwith a brieffist fight, i'd agree that police had no business using force. But when cops arrived and ordered them to stop and got attacked in return, all bets are off. I, for one, think cops should be evenable to shoot thugs in the back if they run away after being clearly warned by a LEO who properly identified him/her self. Speaking of which, CBPshould also hire snipers who are authorized to shoot on sight if you really want to secure the border.

Rethinking my post just a wee tad: My beef is with a device that the manufacturer continues to tout as "safe". All of us here can pretty much agree that nothing is completely safe.

I just do not believe that the device is as safe as is claimed and I most assuredly do not believe that it is a device that should be issued to or used by law enforcement.

Yeah, the kid was wrong, wrong, wrong. But that shouldn't have gotten him executed, no matter how accidentally.

that is right--assault is a crime that calls for the death penalty....that is asinine to no end...

You would have been a wonderful KGB interrogator at Lubyanka Prison in Moscow...

Gota give the LEO's some credit here, at least they knew they were drawing down on him with tasers. Unlike the transit LEO in Washington?

you mean the BART cop in Alameda Co, California?

maybe they really meant to draw and fire their guns and just accidentally drew their tasers instead?
