This could also mean that they need smarter cops in Michigan...

at least he didn't use his gun

maybe he was going insane from hyper glyciema*?

The rest of the story:



I'd act like a psycho too.

He tasered her because she was askin' for it. Someone saw them and she had to make up something to cover her ***. Kinky *****.

"After the tazing she seemed to have passed out" said Officer Ronald Dupuis

Hamtramck's population is largely Polish. Need I say more?

Damn. People really love their soft drinks.

tasers are not the problem. infact, better tasers than pistols.

its like the police officer who tasered a 68 year old granmother a couple weeks ago. she had no weapon. my 7 year old could have whipped her butt.

police are trained to look out for themselves first, you second. and they are trained to use overwhelming force to do it, before putting theri life at risk. bottom line, they are trained to treat you like garbage first, sort out the details later.

3 years ago there was a story in california where a homeless man was drowing in the river. "5" police cars were sitting on the bridge watching, waiting for the police dive team to show up.

a woman stoped her car behind them to see what was happening, saw what was happening, walked to the end of the bridge adn down to the river with the police telling her to stop, jumed in teh water, pulled the man out, walked back to her car and left.

the whole thing was caught on video tape from another motorist.

"5" cops couldnt accomplish what a motehr in a mini van did without any training.

pitifull.

cops are good for cleaning up a mess after it happens, that is about all. when it is happening you are on your own pretty much. call a cop when it is happening, and it will get worse, not better, before it is over.

like the wheelchair bound unarmed theif wheeling away from a shoplifting, shot in the back by a cop for not stopping.

the problem is not the tools we issue to police, the problem is their training, and the quality of individuals we hire to do the job.

A similar situation occured in a town just north of me. A man had jumped in a river near a local watering hole despite numerous signs advising against such activity. Of course he proceeded to try and drown himself while a few police officers stood on the bank waiting for the rescue team. A good samaritan jumped in to save the guy, ignoring police orders to return to the bank. He swam over to the guy grabbed him, pulled him back to shore and was then handcuffed and placed in the back of the police car. He ended up spending the weekend in jail for his troubles if I remember correctly.

Police have incredibly difficult jobs. There are bad eggs in every profession. Give them a break.
