part 2 If you were unjustly tased and are charged with resisting arrest in a coverup, this applies to you: here’s what to do: (1) get a copy of the police report to find out how bad they lied. (2) Then expose your abuser(s) by requesting the court in writing to grant you what is called: “Defendant’s request for Discovery as to all items discoverable under Rule 16.1 ARCP”. This will force the arresting officer’s department to present to the court all video and audio from the high voltage dart gun or AXON, the dash camcorder and the officers’ pocket recorders. This will also prompt that department to review the recordings. Generally, if they find that the officer was abusive, the department will respond to the court by requesting that the charge be dropped rather than produce these recordings.

It is shameful that Washington D.C. and the United Nations have allowed law enforcement all over the world to torture unarmed civilians with high voltage in the name of justice. Due to no social training, officers have a failure to communicate and retaliates by afflicting pain. This kind of abuse is in the news everyday. No one is exempt. Pregnant women, the handicapped, the mentally ill, people who are already handcuffed, those that are incarcerated, illegal immigrants, senior citizens as well as young kids are having darts with barbs shot deep into their bodies and 50,000 volts or more applied until they are dead or until the enforcer feels satisfaction. The newer high voltage dart guns can be adjusted from the standard 2" to hit at different quadrants on the human torso where all muscles in it's path (especially the heart) are contracted. Every time the user pulls the trigger an addition 5 sec. electrical shock is induced into the victim's body. Those tortured in this manner are usually rendered unconscious and will fall causing head injuries, broken bones, brain damage and deaths. The sad thing is that most victims are detained for simple things: questioning, traffic violations or misdemeanors. Here’s the real kicker, if the person is needlessly tortured or killed many officers will falsify the police report and adds “resisting arrest” in an attempt to justify the abuse which carries up to a maximum of 1 ½ years incarceration. If the victim lives, they are brought to jail where they will stay (if they can’t post bond) until their court date. The jailers are encouraged by the sheriffs, judges and the prosecuting attorneys to make the defendant's life hell so that they will be ripe for the pickings when they get to court. (A high percentage of convictions helps them get reelected). Most victims will be offered 1 ½ years probation by the prosecuting attorneys for a plea of guilty and most victims will take the offer in fear of going back to jail. If you are inno

A medical emergency came in from a nearby apartment that required police assistance. They went to his apartment on accident and had no reason to be there. The state is taking care of him (he lives on disability) but his mom still helps him out a lot. The state wouldn't have called the news about this or followed up much on it. I'm glad she's following up on it and I'm glad Brian picked up the story. The police have been notified that all people in this complex have mental disabilities but they don't seem to care. He had a warrant out for stealing less than $3 of candy almost 7 years ago (statute of limitations almost took place). That's why they decided to take him in while they were there. Their whole reason for doing what they did is a bit frivolous if you ask me. Does stealing a small thing of candy years ago warrant being tazed twice? No.
