It woke him up and he showed them ID proving he lived there then they tasered him again.

This is pure insanity.

Damn burguler alarm systems....
He turned himself in by proxy.

I would really like to see more on what happened in this case. It is just fucking unbelievable.

Now that is bad, to taser a guy that is in a coma.

 

[FUCK THE POLICE]

It seems you give police a (mostly) non-lethal weapon and they get a bit happy with it.

Geezez.

A good reason not to give them waterboards.

 

[FUCK THE POLICE]

Tasers should only be used as an ABSOLUTE last resort. They shouldn't be used to do things that could easily be done with physical force, because tasers are potentially deadly and not to be taken lightly.

Are you suggesting they would ever hastily use such tactics unnecessarily? That's crazy!

Yeah, you'd think they'd wait for him to wake, then taser him and he can have another coma.

They're bone-idle. No-one likes to go the biff any more.

Waterboarding is torture.

Correctamundo - next step up is a firearm.

So is tasering coma patients... At least I think it's torture. I think they can feel it, just like they can hear you.

 

[ib1yysguy]

They should've gotten out the gun LOL. Then they wouldn't have this problem.

There is a solution... two shots to the back of the head!!!!!!
