[/quote] :ohyeah: [/quote] I've made a lot of ironic jokes on this forum on stories from time to time but I don't think I'll do it anymore. Once it hits your family, and you are going through it, there's nothing funny about it anymore. It hurts. Really, people? This is really all you think? He may never be able to have children. He's only 20 years old. Didn't any of you ever make mistakes when you were young? [/quote] It is very sad indeed, and that kid didn't deserved that. Police uses tazing like our parents and old folks used belts and wipes on kids when they f-cked up. The only difference is that a tazer is a deadly weapon which has many times killed or harmed permanently. Shame on the police and the people who do nothing about it. [/quote]

Hey everyone! We've all heard the stories lately about police aggression.
A few days ago a 20 year old was stopped by police in Rome, Ga for being underage and drunk in public. They tazed him and he flipped over a railing and fell ten feet. He begged the police not to taze him anymore because he couldn't feel his legs. They drug him back upstairs and onto the hood of the car. His pants fell off because he couldn't work his legs. They finally believed him and called an ambulance. He is paralyzed from the chest down.
I don't know all the details yet but no matter what happened, this young man didn't deserve what happened. His life will never be the same.
Please help this story spread. Send it to everyone you can. Let's get it out and help his family find out what happened. Maybe if it gets more media attention the truth will come out. Nobody knows yet if it was the fall that broke his back or the rough treatment of the police as they manhandled him back to their car. It's been turned over to the G.B.I.
Link to Channel 2 News story is included if you want to watch the video and see where he fell.
