Police taser 64 year old man in his own home.

His wife is really sorry she called the police now....problem is these older folks still think that these LEO's are there to help them and they can look to them for help.....HAHAHAHAHa.
Maybe she knows better now the stupid bitch.

Like the woman that called because her mental son wouldn't take his crazy pills. Cops came, in under a minute he was dead. Pulled a knife, they say. She learned a hard lesson that day.

Maybe this is what it takes to wake people up to their plight.
Sad, isn't it.

The only society that needs people like you are oppressive dictatorships. Your comment that you believe you're "needed" validates my claim that you're a psychopath. No decent functional society has a "need" for someone who thinks like you.


Is that what you think we live in? A decent functional society? Hah! That's a laugh. Thank you for proving my point. You are truly delusional and have no idea of the filth that is out there that the cops protect you from daily. Please continue enjoying living in your fantasy world while those of us who live in reality will keep protecting you from the filth you so vehemently defend.

You cannot commit a crime in your house.


That's some good news...So, I can invite someone in, kill them and it's not a crime?

Ok, I'm not going to watch the whole thing, I stopped at about the fifth time the cop told him to put his hands behind his head and the guy refused...hell, the cop even told the dude he was going to tase him...


He was not legally obliged to follow their orders. Jack ass.


Really, so your house is like a law free zone? You can grow crack and snort Marijuana all you want in your house and not be subject to the law?


You cannot commit a crime in your house. The charge was resisting arrest, which was later dismissed. The only charge brought against him was dismissed. That means he didn't commit a crime. That means the cops didn't have a leg to stand on. That means you're retarded. It also means that your reading comprehension is horrid.

If you haven't committed a crime, then you have the right to tell the police to leave.


If your reading comprehension is so astute then you would recall me saying that I only watched the first few minutes of the guy refusing to put his hands behind his head...I realize that is confusing to you so next time try to pay attention...

My point isn't that he committed a crime...my point is to intelligently avoid an ass kicking...

This shit ain't gonna stop until the people in these communities finally say ENOUGH! Take names and badge numbers, and start holding these pigs accountable! Start ostracizing them in their own communities...get word out of their thuggery abuse...plaster their names and pictures along with their crimes in every conspicuous area in the community.

Obviously, we don't have a "decent functional society" because we have psychopaths in law enforcement! That's My point, -- like the one on your head.

The 36 minute video clearly illustrates "the filth that is out there," particularly in law enforcement. Psychopaths, like yourself, lack compassion and actually derive a sense of satisfaction from the act of robbing another person of every last shred of their dignity and autonomy, especially under the aegis of law enforcement. The victim in the video IS the person I vehemently defend, and the FACT that you refer to him as "filth" is despicable and truly the ranting of a psychopath.

If this happened 30 yrs. ago, I don't think you could have found 1 american who would think this was justifiable. The fact that so many can rationalize it now proves to me that we are perilously close to losing our national soul, if we haven't already.

Nothing good will ever come from fighting with the police, not in a "decent and functional society".

By the way, the 9th circuit court of appeals ruled last year that the use of tasers is ILLEGAL in all cases except those in which there is a real, serious, and immediate threat to the life of the officer.

As an aside,I hope the poster known as Brief And To The Point gets cancer and dies a horrible death, or is run over by a truck, or is brutally assraped by a negro cop.

It's neither of those two things, idiot. It used to be, but it isn't any more.

Fighting the police is more honorable than submission in a police state. It is also the only hope for societal freedom.

30 years ago you would have had a man who would have most likely complied with the officer in the first place. If he didn't, then it was his choice to live with. If the man did end up shooting himself in the head, there wouldn't have been a line of attorneys lined up halfway around the block looking to sue the deep pockets so he could make himself and the widow rich.

Back then, people took responsibility for their own actions. Nowadays, everyone is sue happy and these agencies do everything by the book while exposing their agency to the least amount of liability.

Why didn't one of the officers pull the wife aside and quietly ask her if she thought her husband was serious about killing himself. She would have told the cop that the guy just had a really bad night and was spouting off, after all she is his wife and presumedly knows the guy better than the cops. At that point I don't think the cops would be liable if he did commit suicide. That's the way good cops used to handle situations like this.

If that ruling sticks, we will see the same people on here bitching about cops having to whoop the mess out of somebody with their collapsible batons or pepper spraying an asthma sufferer. Some of these people will never be happy.

Because an Attorney would have a field day with that bullshit written on a report.

Attorney: So Officer friendly, you mean to tell me that you took the word of a distressed elderly woman in a highly emotionally charged situation over your training, experience, and department policy and procedure?

Officer: Yes, yes I did. She said she did not think he was serious.

Attorney: Thank you Officer, no further questions.

Jury awards widow 15 million dollars for negligence of this officer on behalf of his department.

Are you serious? Do you have any idea how the legal system and courtrooms work nowadays?

Pretty disturbing video.

Solzhenitsyn gave a speech about this very thing in 1974. He knew that the Soviets were turning this country into just what you describe. It is sabotage and it is done via infiltration and subversion. But you don't know these things, so you insert a sentence about people no longer being responsible for their own actions, which has nothing to do with anything and is far from any justification for the sovietization you lament but willingly accept.

Nothing good will ever come from fighting with the police, not in a "decent and functional society".

You're assuming that cops need to beat, spray or tase cranky old people in their homes for the crime of being cranky.
Why?

HOLY SHIT! This is torture and most people will do nothing about it.

It's called an Involuntary Commitment and it exists for the exact reasons listed above by many posters. If the cops shrugged his threat of suicide attempt off and he did it after they left, every govt. agency involved would be on the hook for liability.

Police, Fire, EMT's, everyone that is involved from the point the 911 call was made. If the man made the comment that he was suicidal, they are legally obligated to commit this man.

The guy chose to be a dipshit resisting after he made this comment so yeah, the police had to do something to get him in cuffs. Him sitting on the chair and refusing to get up is in fact passive resistance, and the officers are within their boundaries to use force to get him to comply. Would I have Tased him? Probably not, but I wasn't there. Would I have got this guy in cuffs one way or another? Yes. Unfortunately at that point, the cops are damned if they do and damned if they don't. If they beat his ass to get him in cuffs, he might have a heart attack, stroke out, or end up with serious traumatic injuries like broken bones, heavy contusions, etc.

They really can't win. People keep harping on these cops about how they aren't like the cops of old days, well times have changed and they have to change with them in order to be effective at their job. If people don't like being handled by police, then don't do shit to get them involved in your life. If you get caught, then step up and own your fuckup. Instead nowadays you got idiots who get off scott free on murders where they are found over the top of a body with a machete in their hands due to shitbag defense attorneys who attack the Officers credibility and free these guys on technicalities.

The system is twisted up and until it changes, it will be business as usual for these cops. Don't like it? Live right then.



Oh bullshit, your a freaking cop! So yeah, of course you would justify this bs!

Sorry, but it's because of the mentality of YOUR kind that this shit happens!

Officers Mack and Cooke NEVER would have done this! Instead, they would have talked to the man, getting hold of the situation, and NOT gotten the man so angry.

It use to be that cops had to have at minimum an Associates Degree to even take the exam. Why was that? Because in getting that associates degree, in ensure that cops were knowledgeable in sociology, psychology, and even physiology! Cops were required to take certain courses, so they were knowledgeable in how to deal with PEOPLE, of ALL stripes and backgrounds! They knew how to use psychological techniques to calm a situation, or even how to talk to hostage takers or armed gunmen in general. Today, rather than using psychological techniques, they just use FEAR TACTICS and BRUTALITY!!

You do a major disservice to veteran cops! But that's the mentality we have running the "order in our streets" today. Rather than seeing civilians as their equals, or even as their employers, the cops see civilians as nothing but chattle to be ran down, bullied, and put into submission at ANY cost! Much like modern day cattle ranchers who, rather than using horses (the natural way) for rounding up cattle, they run them down with loud, threatening ATVs and trucks. Then they wonder why even cattle have become so dangerous as to charge them when they are trying to inoculate the calves!

There will come a day, in the not too distant future, where YOU will have to choose the side you're on. By the looks of it, you've chosen the wrong side...that of tyranny and oppression...what a good SS brownshirt you've become.

Are you insane? This man threatened to shoot himself in the head, how is anyone supposed to take that lightly? Especially an agent of the govt.

You must be out of your mind to think that officer was going to stand there and beg and plead with this man all night to get consent. There is a time for talk and when that doesn't work, it's time for action. If you or others don't like the action that YOU forced them to take, don't fight them. Comply with the orders and sort it out later. That's why we have a legal system.

Nothing good will ever come from fighting with the police, not in a "decent and functional society".

Oh seriously, FUCK YOU!

So what you're advocating is that people give up their Constitutional Right to being "innocent until proven guilty beyond all reasonable doubt", and let them get arrested for even their own freedom of speech? And did these cops hear the man say this? Or was it by "word of mouth"? The evidence definitely wouldn't hold up in a court of law!

So, we are just suppose to go with the cops willingly, regardless if we are innocent of ANY crime whatsoever, just because they are agents of the government??? Kiss my ASS! No, cops are NOT suppose to be agents of the government, they are SUPPOSE to be civil servants, serving the citizens of their communities, who actually pay their freaking wages!

We do NOT force YOU to take such extremes against US! YOU choose to do that yourself, you blithering idjit! And if cops were decent and functional, we wouldn't have to worry about fighting them, but because they've become nothing more than corrupt, power hungry, paranoid schizophrenics, we have EVERYTHING to fear from them!

I see the jackboot brownshirt ignored my entire refutation directed right to him! What a chicken shit!

Btw Jack, no, we do NOT need your ilk. Legitimately armed citizens do a far BETTER job at protecting their communities than you EVER will! Why? Because your job is NOT to serve and protect the people...you obviously do NOT serve us, you serve your masters! And even the courts have recognized and stated publicly that the police CANNOT protect the public, they can only respond AFTER a crime is committed. Sooo....Mr. Jack, take that tazer and plug it where the sun don't shine!

Btw, what do you think of "innocent until proven guilty, beyond a reasonable doubt"...or does it swing this way for you "guilty until proven innocent, regardless what the circumstances are"??
