Second Taser Related Death From OKCPD since July

I'm not defending what that guy did by no means and put in the same situation I would have acted in the same manner that the police officer did. It's just the way your trying to explain his right to tazer him. **** happens and that's what happened you could "what if" this to death but in the end the guy died and now some poor officer has to live with taking a life wether he was in the right or not taking a life is really hard to deal with. My prayers go out to him and his family and also to the family of the deceased.

I am not sure what you are getting at. My point was that every action has a consequence -- maybe not what was expected, or routine, but a consequence nonetheless. I am pretty sure they guy beating his wife might have expected to be tased at some point, but he never expected to die from it. I am also pretty sure that if the officer had known that tasing this fella was gonna kill him he would have found another way to subdue him. However, at the end of the day none of us have a crystal ball and we do the best we can with what we have to work with.

But in the end, we do agree that it is unfortunate and that others are gonna have to deal with the aftermath of one person's moment of indiscretion (and I am talking about the guy who beat his wife, not the officer who tased him) for the rest of their lives.

Pretty much sums it up.

Of foremost notice is Swift's invention of the electric rifle, a gun which fires bolts of electricity. The electric rifle can be calibrated to different levels of range, intensity and lethality; it can shoot through solid walls without leaving a hole, and is powerful enough to kill a rampaging whale, as in their steamer trek to Africa. With the electric rifle, Tom and friends bring down elephants, rhinoceroses, and buffalo, and save their lives several times in pitched battle with the red pygmies. It also can discharge a globe of light that was described as being able to maintain itself, like ball lightning, making hunting at night much safer in the dark of Africa. In appearance, the rifle looked very much like its contemporary conventional cousins.

Sounds kinda dangerous to me.......

kinda like common sense says shocking people with high voltage can kill them and class what does a taser do? When someone ignores facts (that tasers kill people) all your left with is the obvious.

Kinda like common sense says not to beat your wife, run from cops, and resist arrest.......



And common sense doesn't prove an argument......facts do......



I guess McDonalds should be labeled "the cause of death", since people who have ate it have died.....

Actually anyone who has been through 9th grade science knows shocking someone with high voltage has NOTHING to do with it. What kills people is amps. Speaking of ignoring the facts........
And please resize your avatar. It's retaded big, atleast on my iPhone.

Dennis. 'takeing someone down' isn't the issue. Taking custody and control is, and they are two different animals. Taking someone down is only half the fight, if that. Controlling someone tweaking on meth, Tripple C, PCP etc is something else, quite a ride and very dangerous. The don't feel pain don't give a sh!t. Wristlock? Pain compliance doesn't work. Armbar? Break it. They don't care. Ground and pound? Better know them out. It can be done, but it's another animal and deploying the Taser is much safer for both parties.

Shoot, big difference between escorting a drunk and a balls to the wall fight with someone on one of the 3 drugs I listed. They don't want to go to jail/prison, and some will kill you to keep from going.

ETA: Shoot, Officers sue for serious injuries suffered in PT, driver training, defensive tactics, PR24 (nigt stick) training, OC traing etc all of the time. Like Ive said many times: this is life, it isn't safe or fun sometimes.

Actually I think this is still on the books but you can take your wife to the steps of the capitol on sundays and spank her with a wooden paddle. But it can't be longer than a certin length not sure on the length though. lol

GC would get in trouble because BB would keep asking for it and go over the predetermined length of time.


Whack! Oh yes! Another!
