To a police officer with a taser, everyone looks like 'an example of excited delirium with superhuman strength blah blah blah...'<BR/><BR/>The post 'Proper procedures' about the 17-year old girl is another example. This time THREE police and a girl.<BR/><BR/>They (our elected governments) may actually have to take away their tasers if misuse continues at the current rate.

Here's something else I posted today about the incident:<BR/><BR/>Looking into this Brandon Taser story some more. Here's why this whole thing strikes me as...um...unusual, let's say. <BR/><BR/>We've been told that Joseph Davis, the suspect, was resisting arrest and couldn't be restrained by 2 sheriff's deputies, even though the 50-year-old Davis was disabled and walked with a cane. <BR/><BR/>Here's the part that doesn't make sense--we're also told that the 30-something woman accusing him of entering her house and exposing himself was able to break free of Davis' grip and escape to a neighbor's house with her child. <BR/><BR/>Does that strike anyone else as incongruous? That a woman in her 30s can get away from this man but two trained police officers have such a hard time with restraining him that they have to call for backup and use Tasers? <BR/><BR/>Here's how the sheriff explained what happened with the woman: <BR/><BR/>"He [Davis] knocked the phone out of her hand, grabbed her by the arm and tried to force her into a bedroom," Pennington said. <BR/>http://www.clarionledger.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080205/NEWS/802050378/1001/news <BR/><BR/>So it sounds like Davis was struggling with the woman just like the police reportedly were, but she was able to free herself--without the aid of a "stun gun" or any weapons at all. However, we're being asked to believe that not one but two trained sheriff's deputies could not do what a 30-something civilian woman did all by herself. <BR/><BR/>This account of the incident doesn't paint a very good picture of the capabilities of the sheriff's deputies.LHLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15239320236309335507noreply@blogger.com
