Autistic Boy Blasted For Jaywalking, Woman In Wheelchair Tasered To Death

Coming soon : the wireless taser. Twenty seconds of pure shock.

You may, or may not, recall that before Tasers were first introduced into the weapons arsenal of American police officers, there was much softballing of the dangerous possibilities that giving cops an electric shock gun might produce.

Relax, we were told. Cops won’t be use their tasers on just anyone. Tasers were the alternative to shooting an armed suspect. Tasers were good, and necessary, because it meant cops could bring down a dangerous, knife waving maniac without having to take the risk of drawing their guns and possibly killing someone.

But, of course, American cops are now tasering unarmed people, people in wheelchairs, old drunks who tell them to “get fucked” one too many times and pissed teenagers who shout “lick this, pig!”

The death toll of unarmed Americans who have been tasered to death is climbing. Some unofficial estimates put the figure at more than a few dozen.

In the past few days, four more horrific incidents involving the words “taser” and “police” have hit the news.

An autistic boy, threatening nobody, was repeatedly tasered by a police officer in Orange County, California. Not surprisingly, the 15 year old boy’s mother is appalled by what police did to her child :

Doris Karras, mother of Taylor Karras, said deputies did not need to use the Taser gun, particularly since she had called various police agencies to alert them that her son was missing.

She said her son would have followed deputies’ directions if he hadn’t felt threatened. “This was a very aggressive response,” she said. She said her son “didn’t have any weapon on him. He didn’t even have a pencil.”
The kid got off easy.

A wheelchair bound woman, suffering from mental illness, was repeatedly tasered by police. A normal taser blast lasts from one second to four or five seconds. In this incident, the woman in the wheelchair was hit with 50,000 volts for more than TWO SOLID MINUTES :

According to a police report, one of the officers used her Taser gun nine times for a total of 160 seconds and the other officer discharged his Taser gun once for a total of no more than five seconds.

A medical examiner found Delafield died from hypertensive heart disease and cited the Taser gun shock as a contributing factor. On her death certificate, the medical examiner ruled Delafield’s death a homicide.
Delafield was a black woman. So it didn’t get much coverage in the American media.

If you go here, you can read about, and see the graphic video of, an incident where a woman was repeatedly tasered by an aggressive, screaming cop. The woman was tasered a final time, even though she was already in handcuffs.

Then there’s the already legendary tasering of student, Andrew Meyer, who dared to ask American senator John Kerry about his involvement in the bizarre Skull & Bones Club.

You can now buy a ‘Don’t Tase Me, Bro!’ t-shirt. Of course you can.

Welcome to the Taser Nation.

What is a taser?

Taser guns use compressed nitrogen to propel two darts that attach to the body. The darts are connected to the gun by a wire and deliver a 50,000-volt shock at five-second intervals to incapacitate a suspect.
For $120, you can now buy a taser disguised as a mobile phone.

If you think dangerous, on-edge cops are out of control with their tasers, what do you think is going to happen when they get their hands on a Heat Ray weapon?
