Do you have a weapon?

swords,arrows, boiling water or oil, fire using gasoline or similar, Rocks and boulders, cooking utensils , VASE and lamps, .

 

monkey wrench , philip screwdriver, electrified hiden devices including fences & door nobs, etc.

 

lol. WHAT? hehe.

 

very true.

although i never heard that tazers have causes deaths i find it easy to believe really.

however, i still think it's kinda rare. regardless if my husband and me (before we were married) were dumb enough to sell lots of esctasy... when someone comes into our apt. (aka HOME!!) and puts a 9 mm. to our heads... and pistal whips one of us...

imma do something. not to get all ghetto here. cause this subject puts me in a ghetto mood but it's reality. i didnt feel safe. i didnt want a gun. i dont a tazer.

perfectly safe? prolly not. relativily safe? sure.

 

yeah. i'm not as kind hearted. i've been threatened in my home enough times in my life (bad neighborhoods, bad men) to really feel sad or want to preserve human life. i'd rather get by with just a threat. i've never in my life injured another human being outside of a punch or something. i don't WANT to start, but FUCK! what are you supposed to do?

 

Central Florida Man Dies After Shooting With Taser Stun Gun

FDLE Investigating Shooting



UPDATED: 2:06 pm EDT June 2, 2004


A 42-year-old man who police said was acting erratically died late Tuesday after police shot him with a Taser gun.

Police said Anthony Oliver waved down an Orlando police officer near Tampa Avenue and Colonial Drive Monday. When Oliver continued to act erratically, he was shot with the Taser, according to a report.

Oliver died at Florida Hospital in Orlando the next day.

Orlando police Lt. Curley Bowman of the said preliminary reports showed that Oliver "had cocaine and marijuana in his system but we don't have the full toxicology."

The gun shoots two barbed probes that shock the recipient with 50,000 volts. Most people are incapacitated, but suffer no permanent injuries.

Oliver is the fifth person in the region since 2002 and the 50th person nationwide to die after being hit by police with a Taser, according to Steve Tuttle, spokesman for Taser International, which supplied 743 Tasers to the Orlando Police Department.

A 39-year-old St. Johns County man died last December after being struck by two bursts from a Taser. The medical examiner determined that Lewis King die of cardiac arrest due to preexisting heart disease.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is investigating the incident.

 

Man Dies After Police Use Taser Gun

VIDEO: CBS 2 News reports.

(CBS 2) CHICAGO The Chicago Police Department is delaying a plan to distribute 100 more Taser stun guns after a 54-year-old man died and a teenager was critically injured this week after officers used the guns to subdue them.

But police Superintendent Philip Cline defended the officers' use of the weapons and said the department will not discontinue the 200 Tasers it uses now.

“We are proceeding cautiously,” Cline said.

But he noted “it would be extremely premature at this point to attribute either of these incidents directly to use of the Taser.”

"We remain confident that the use of Tasers in Chicago has made our streets, our citizens and our police safer," Cline said.

Police are also conducting an in-custody death investigation over Thursday's incident, which happened around 1:30PM at 336 W. Wellington in Lakeview.

Police identified the man Friday as Ronald Hasse, 54, of Cedar Lake, Ind.

Police said they used the stun gun when they were unable to restrain an unruly man who was trying to kick and bite officers at a high-rise apartment building on the city's North Side Thursday afternoon. Hasse was visiting two people on the 26th floor of the building.

"He was attempting to bite the officers and kick the officers,” according to Detective Commander Michael Chasen.

Hasse made statements such as: "If you come near me, I'll give you HIV," and "I'm going to kill you with my blood," Chasen said.

After telling those around him to back away, the police "gave three distinct warnings" but he continued to resist, police Cmdr. Michael Chasen said.

"The subject again started to come at the sergeant and the sergeant deployed the Taser," Chasen said.

Paramedics realized Hasse was under distress and took him to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center. Hasse, who served four years in prison for selling drugs, died 90 minutes later. An autopsy is scheduled to determine the cause of death.

The stun guns Chicago police officers use temporarily paralyze people with a 50,000-volt jolt delivered by two barbed darts whose current can penetrate clothing.

The death came the same day an official with the Department of Children and Family Services filed a lawsuit in Cook County Circuit Court against the city of Chicago and a police officer who used a stun gun on a 14-year-old boy on Monday. The boy, who also went into cardiac arrest, remained hospitalized Thursday night.

Authorities were called to the North Side facility Monday morning after the teen, who is a ward of the state, injured his hand in a violent outburst. The 6-foot-2, 220-pound boy had attacked three female employees of the home and punched out security windows after being told to remove his baseball cap, police said.

The lawsuit filed by DCFS guardianship administrator D. Jean Ortega-Piron accuses the officer of using the stun gun without knowing whether it was safe to use on a minor and without taking into consideration the medications the boy was on.

 

ok and ive been beat up by police and arrested with a felony over my head for kicking one officer sworn to "protect and serve" in the groin. i had bruises all over me.. it was very bad. but because i was drunk (not gonna be listened to.... smack!) and not rich... (BEAT DOWN!!!)

all i could do with the lawyer that still broke the camel's back... was get the charges dropped. i should have sued their asses. but eh, too much energy.

in any case... i havent even touched my tazer gun in two years. but some people keep guns for home intruders... i choose to keep a tazer now. its a less cruel way of feeling "safe" imo. i hope i dont ever have to use it as im not mean. when i said "im waiting to use it on someone that fucks with me or mine..." that was my anger talking aka "blowing off stream"

but honestly, if i ever use my tazer on someone and they die...
it will be cause they tried to kill or rape me or a loved one. period.

 

well, hell, trish, you don't need to defend yourself or your choices. you have a right to defend yourself within your home. i think your decision to use a tazer is commendable.

 

and only use Dura Cell brand.

 

it's very true. i confess without shame that i have serious trust issues. i'm sick of being beaten up and terrorized. i know i don't want to shoot anyone, but i just don't know what the other fucker is thinking.

 

thanks sweetness

 

that, my dear, is reality.

sad a bit. but you bite yer bottom lip and realize.... *what is one of my favorite phrases... as of late) "it is what it is"

i think everyone wants things to be peaceful and wants to love. however, wants like that are like assholes and it's nothing to be sad about. it just makes you realize, the world IS WHAT IT IS. be cautious.

 

hehe... actually, and this is weird.

i lost my vibrator. and i never took it out of the house. i actually got sad about it a few times teehee

 

i keep massive boxes of batteries about. though they're languishing for now...

 

bulletproof monk was a fun movie.

 

when i was a little girl..

i had a habit that my parents tried to stop.

riding horse? lol

it's still the cheapest and best way i can get off.

i didnt even know what i was doing then...but...
rotating on the foot... mmmm

(christ all mighty)

 

yep, i remember that scene, now you mention it. it's amazing where you can find profound moments, isn't it?
