Total emasculation - every last nerve destroyed, plus third degree burns. He's not just impotent. He's totally dead down there.<br /><br />There is another case, Antonio Lewis in Tallahasee, Florida, shot in the genitals by a female police officer using a Taser which completely emasculated him, destroying not only his penis and testicles, but also rendering him incontinent. He has to wear adult diapers for the rest of his life.<br /><br />Many officers Tasering the genitals, such as in the Tavares Browning case, said they weren't even aiming for the groin. The Taser just hits there by design. All this talk about sociopathic cops doesn't deal with the biggest problem with the Taser, which is the weapon itself. The company manufacturing and marketing the Taser has used endless fraudulent claims about how safe this weapon is and what it actually does and doesn't do. What it does is harpoon the genitals when used exactly as instructed by Taser International, before electrocuting them and torturing the victim into submission, sometimes resulting in the total destruction of the victim's genitals. <br /><br />By the way, the very first lawsuit against Taser International for destroying a man's genitals was filed by a police captain who himself was rendered totally impotent from a Taser shot that harpooned his genitals.Memphishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01636056194130886380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-19771725524587566452009-10-27T22:34:12.365-05:002009-10-27T22:34:12.365-05:00A cop's best weapon is his/her verbal skills.
...A cop's best weapon is his/her verbal skills.<br /><br />I try to talk them into jail if they need to go...<br /><br />The TASER is a good back-up if verbal interventions fail, but I have never used one.<br /><br />I have always had to physically wrestle a combative person or pepper spray them or both (NOT FUN).<br /><br />However one thing that I would like to propose is that everything a cop does is less lethal.<br /><br />For instance (when I was a deputy sheriff) I once had to serve a writ of execution (not what you think legal laymen) on an older lady and she begged me not to execute her (almost fainted).<br /><br />I once had to pepper spray a person that was on methamphetamines to stop him from punching at me. He stopped breathing for approximately a minute and his heart stopped. Medics revived him (to my relief).<br /><br />When I began my career a man took a large quantity of psychotropic drugs and attacked me and four of my colleagues. We had hell wrestling him to the ground but he went into shock and nearly died... He was revived by medics (I try not to ticket medics for this reason, that's a tip Oklahoma Highway Patrol lol).<br /><br />So if a cop uses a TAZER on a combative person; is it the person's personal life choices or personal actions what makes the TAZER "less lethal" rather than "non lethal?"<br /><br />Just wondering...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-80543166607142424062009-10-27T06:53:26.603-05:002009-10-27T06:53:26.603-05:00Todd, sometimes police should "talk someone o...Todd, sometimes police <i>should</i> "talk someone out of doing something stupid." In fact, an officer who relies solely on force and disdains communications skills is probably a pretty crappy cop, though I understand it's not fashionable in some quarters to talk to people before you taser them.<br /><br />Personally I don't support banning Tasers for police but think they often come out too early on the use of force continuum and that 8:04's concerns about potentially torturous uses are valid.Gritsforbreakfasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10152152869466958902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-89829197433061681732009-10-27T02:27:46.522-05:002009-10-27T02:27:46.522-05:00So you think the police should simply "talk y...So you think the police should simply "talk you out of doing something stupid"? The moron who wrote this needs to go outside the house and try to talk a crack addict, drunk, or gang member into handcuffs. It's not quite as easy as you seem to think it is.<br /><br />When it doesn't go your way, let me know how you intend to get the guy in cuffs without using some kind of force. Don't use a taser because it is ohhhh so dangerous. Same for OC. Don't use a baton because that just looks soooo bad.<br /><br />Morons on this blog should try to have some knowledge of how to deal with a violent situation before they run their gums.

Not much difference in the personality of criminals, cops , judges, and DAs. Sorry if it pisses you off but that is the science of personality boys and girls. Being an older person I can remember the days when guns were not evil and the local police didn't need Tasers and chemical spray. They had the respect of the citizens because they knew how to deescalate situations without force. I guess today's cops are not as smart and have to resort to violence. Don't you love paying much higher taxes to support all of the way to many cops and prisons? Criminal law is big business in Texas! Check out how the new uniforms look like military special operations uniforms. Without the guns, clubs, and military grade toys the police of today are not as tough as they would have you to believe.

I think some police, DAs and judges could be diagnosed as sociopaths. They are really no different than some criminals. They are just smart enough to get themselves in positions where they can inflict pain and suffering on people without any consequences. They believe the rules and laws don't apply to them and they don't have a conscience. <br /><br />I'm convinced that the DA in Smith County, Matt Bingham and the former DA and current judge, Jack Skeen, Jr. are sociopaths.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-13260914404932842362009-10-24T15:01:50.411-05:002009-10-24T15:01:50.411-05:00This is Acerbic's boyfriend...

If it were possible to still deny it they would, of course. What I find more interesting is the existence of terms like "riding the lighting". The emergence of such slang and jargon among law enforcers may help establish what the police continue to confidently deny, and what I believe is the ultimate issue with this weapon. The existence of these cute little euphemisms comes close to showing that there is an informal language among officers to describe their use of the device, not as the last resort alternative to deadly force, but as an instrument routinely used for torture. It may be a cute inside joke in the current legal environment, but as a society we eventually need to place this activity where it belongs -- squarely in the scope of Eighth Amendment -- cruel and unusual punishment. I remember when electric shock torture was something that we only read about happening in brutal third world countries. It has come home now. It is here. They are doing it, and they are exploring the limits of what will be tolerated. This is more important than Abu Ghraib or Guantanomo. Those are isolated events which can be contained. The more important question now is whether Americans are going to accept torture at home under the guise of a thinly veiled security ruse, complete with an underground system of slang and jargon which refers to the truth: Torture. It is important to understand that the torturers of the third world, whom we occasionally get a glimpse of through journalism and survivor stories, also represent their activities as law enforcement, security, and protection of the public.
