Video Shows Cop Lied About Reason For Using Taser on Inmate

I don't care what Jerry feels or say. The guy was a convicted drugee and was hauled into jail for a domestic disturbance. In this case, i would give credence to what the police said and justifies his actions.

The policeman is a citizen with possibly no criminal record. It is enlightening to know that some police man would act to protect himself against criminal elements. It is the bleeding heart sector of the american society that is the problem. They would rather give all the justification to a criminal and let them out and get kudos for being kind and decent and to hell with the health and welfare of the authorities trying to stop the propagation of criminal attitudes.

These are the sector of american society who does not care for the well being of other innocent and decent members of society who can be hurt because the bleeding heart people care more for the so called rights of theirs so long as they are far away from harm. They are the one's who are fostering the filling up of pockets of lawyers whose main concern is not actually the defense of the weak and the innocent but the defense of how deep their pockets will be if they do not take cases like this.

Hudson's attorney Lonn Heymann says it doesn't matter how Hudson may have acted earlier in the day, he says it only matters how he was behaving at the time he was shot with a stun gun.

I would beg to differ, I'd like to know EVERYTHING...not just what the lawyer wants shown. It's plain that he had been showing his butt all day, or the police wouldn't have been called. I'm also interested in the D.D. and what that entailed.

" Sgt. Darrin Abbink of the Colorado Springs Police Department said. "We are going to look at the reports to see why the officer thought that the use of force was necessary. There was a lot that went on before Hudson was taken into custody."

I wouldn't give a damn what happened before he was taken to jail. The only thing that matters is what happened while he was in jail.

#2. MARCELA VILLA:

You fall directly under the NAZI Category. Just because somebody is in jail or is a criminal doesn't give the Piggies the right to just randomly abuse them. Their abuse is going to cost them -again. And when it costs them, that means it costs you. This has nothing to do with being a Bleeding Heart. This has to do with the cops abusing their position and authority.

wow this officer shouldn't have lied, and really didn't need to at all. The guy was already shown violence so keeping a tazer on him while he is BEING handcuffed would be fair but to let it go after he complied was wrong.

This looks like a case, based on the video, of an Officer who did the wrong thing. I watched the video and it did not look like he was inticing a fight of any kind with the Officer. Even though we cannot hear the audio, I see no reason for this suspect to have been tased.

As for the medical bills, in most states, when a suspect is tased or injured in anyway, during an arrest or in custody, the county has to pick up the medical bill not the suspect.

In California if we tase someone in the field, or even if they are in custody and are fighting, we are required to call for Paramedics to come and check out the suspect immediatly and they are the ones that usually remove the barbs (which are then, along with the wires, put into a glass jar and booked into evidence). The suspect is then taken to the hospital for a medical clearance, as our jails will not accept a suspect who has been tased or otherwise injured (unless it is very minor), without a medical clearance.

As far as the chest pains are concerned, there is not enough juice in a tasar to induce any kind of heart problem. The only time that it usually ocurrs is when the suspect is under the influence of some kind of illicit drug and that combined with the stress of being tased can cause chest pains, but not continued chest pains.

Many departments, who are trained to use tasar guns, as part of their training, get tased themselves, so that they know the effect that it has on a person and also if a suspect somehow gets hold of a tasar and an Officer is tased, they know what to expect, and are often trained on how to quickly remove the barbs so that they are not incapacitated by a suspect.

I and many hundreds of other Officers across the country have gone through this, and I have never heard of anyone suffering long term effects from being tased.

Getting back on point, as I said, from the video, and then seeing what the Officers wrote in their reports, certainly do not coincide and does not bode very well for any of the Officers involved.
