who hunts for flies anyway? an i’d probably jus use some flypaper, using honey is a waste of an excellent tea ingredient an who could afford to be wasteful in this economy.. an baxtor.. why would a cop call the cops? wouldnt that jus be back up? seems like one of my dangers right now is being tazered by what? oh yeah.. a cop.. stop worrying.. no wonder your in insurance.. your countin on things goin wrong
C’mon Saul. You probably would not last a week as Baxtor says. Maybe you should go out & get some pepper spray so you can zap…oh yeah, a cop. Just ’cause it’s going to trial doesn’t mean it will be successful. And, no, I don’t hope they collect.
That is why we have all of the frivolous lawsuits today. We have a class of citizens call lawyers that will take any type of case and then sue. Most know that most will settle before trial to avoid the cost.
The county and sheriff’s department and their insurance carrier should fight this suit tooth and nail, all the way to the supreme court if necessary.
Apparently the punk was told to show his hands. He did not. The officer did not know what he was concealing. Tazed.
That is like the officer in Virginia on 77 stopping a speeder. The passenger had his hand in a bag of chips. The officer heard a familiar sound and drew, without shooting before the passenger could react. Further detail was that a dead body was in the back, both the driver and passenger was in on it. If the officer had not responded, he may be dead now.
What is it with these punks and criminals, especially the kids today. Do they have a death wish? They have no respect for anyone, even themselves. When I was growing up, say no to an adult or an authority figure, get your mouth busted. Yeah, it happened a couple of times. That’s it, a couple of times. Run from a cop, get shot in the ***. That did not happen to me. More respect for authority than wanting that to happen.
Not saying that the punk got what he deserved, but look at the overall picture. He was probably a smart ***, been all along, told himself to “eF” the cop, he was not doing it, resisted and got blasted. Tuff!
Now the parents wants to blame someone else for their own failures.
“A grand jury ruled last year that Cpl. Rudy Torres was justified in using his Taser twice to subdue Gray in November 2007 after Gray did not obey commands to show his hands. Gray died hours later.”
Keyword being JUSTIFIED. Guess that doesn’t count for much. Another case of damned if you do, damned if you don’t. At least the criminal has been removed from society.
last time i checked a tazer wasnt supposed to kill a person.. obviously the cop used it excessively.. if the victim was such a criminal and so outta line then why was a tazer used an not a gun?? oh wait i forgot… the cops can never do wrong with you john wayne old timers.. get with the times.. absolute power corrupts absolutely.. an it’s more evident with these big headed cops then ever…
Here is some information from a news article dated 11/21/2007:
“…Sheriff Chuck Jenkins says his deputies are trained to use Tasers only when they feel threatened. He admits as of now, the deputy involved has not been interviewed or questioned about the incident, but investigators confirm the deputy fired two shocks exactly 23 seconds apart.
“He was in the dark, 5 in the morning. He came up on a fight, three people involved. Apparently he felt he needed to use this level of force to control the situation,” said Sheriff Chuck Jenkins.
Gray is the sixth Marylander to die from a Taser this year and the second person in Frederick County to be tased in five weeks. Family members say he was deaf in one ear and may not have heard the officer’s commands.”
I do not know the whole story, but sometimes we make assumptions about a person based on these articles. How do we know he was a “criminal?” Just because the officer was “justified”, it does not mean he used proper judgment in using that type of force.
The man who was tazed may have been breaking up the fight and was in the wrong place, at the wrong time and the wrong skin color. Maybe he was the one causing the fight. Who knows.
I just wrote to say that people should not always jump to conclusions.

the family deserves nothing. lets reward a criminal
The judicial cowardice, short-sightedness and flat out ignorance of civil judges never ceases to amaze me.
Ya, good. Lets reward criminal behavior at taxpayers expense.

That was my point, what part of JUSTIFIED does this brainless twit of a judge not understand.
