The officers were acting under a court order and the guy physically resisted. They were well within legal guidelines to use several different methods of control, including tasers. It's obvious the writer is adding some severe spin. Are you trying to make a point?
Whatever. Add water-boarding to the list cause really, this is how we need to treat our POS society members. Best thing yet is authorizing a victims unit, on call to come in a spend two minutes alone with a POS just like poor Mr. Smith, the gentlemen described below. Use it for a drunk, fighting his way out of the club and there may be an issue. Dregs of society don't play fair, less the rights they took away from decent folk, phuck em.
Sounds like none of them have their story straight. Cop says 2 seconds, taser says 4. Dude says they tased him 3 times and he lost consciousness. Whatever, dude did enough to where he deserved it anyway. Don't do stupid stuff like shoot someone or rob a gas station and you won't be put in this position in the first place. If he didn't want to get tased then he should have let them stick a q-tip in his mouth for a couple seconds. Stupid criminal is stupid.
the problem is that the cops cant tell. the prosecutors and judges determine that. anyway, i thought the constitution allows you to refuse to give samples.
Without reading the story, I beleive you can refuse if they just ask you for it... but if they have a warrant you are compelled to let them have it, like letting them search your house. Either way I would tell them they need to wait till I have a lawyer present before they do anything.
Who's going to decide? Remember he hadn't been convicted of any crime this was prior to the trial, so this could also happen to innocent people. Not to mention torture is an ineffective was of accumulating information.
