"Police Abuse" ? Shelby Police August 4 2007

This is a video from a patrol vehicle at the scene in Shelby Township MI on Aug 04 2007, of citizen being chased down, tazered, hand cuffed, legs bent up and sat on, with his head held in the dirt. He died. The cause of death is listed as some made up cover up cause, of hysterical something or other. If you watch closely you can see a couple officers with hand tazers in hand making stabbing motions to the mans body and head after he is down. Looks like over 50 tazer contacts to me. A clear case, in my opinion, of using a tazer to punish, not control. The township insurance company made a settlement to the surviving family of 1.95 million dollars.

Apparently next time STPD has a naked drugged maniac running the streets, they need to have ShelbyCitizen repsond. He/she is clearly an expert in dealing with these situations. ShelbyCitizen could probably reason with the fellow and hold his hand all the way to jail. Does the chief have ShelbyCitizen on speed-dial, yet?  Shelby is really lucky to have such a resource such as you, ShelbyCitizen. I'm sorry I ever doubted you.

[ShelbyCitizen]

Well, he doesn't look naked to me, it was a hot August night, and from all the yelling the officers are doing, it doesn't seem like reason was attempted.

Do you realize I pay these guys to work for me? I pay the chief also. I expect them to show restraint and respect at all times, on and off duty. I expect them to protect and serve first. Since when did the cops start making the rules? They are hired to serve, not dish out punishment. If they don't like the terms of their employment, QUIT!!

I am proud to say that my brother is a police officer, but I pray for him also because the people he serves neither appreciate how he protects them nor the risks he takes daily for them. Thank you for everyone who is in a line of service such as this.

[ShelbyCitizen]

Well, there are some very good and caring police officers out there and I hope your brother is one. I believe the occupation itself draws bullies and criminals into it as pedophiles are drawn to be near children, like mosquitoes are drawn to light and carbon dioxide. Only by the actions such as shown in this video do we have the chance to weed out the bullies. To put these police officers in the same category as the good officers is to compare a child predator to a good teacher. Put them away.

disgusting...I'm speechless...as a local resident...how can anyone say that the loss of a human life is justified in this case? Yeah, this could of been avoided with simple cooperation...but to kill a man? Not to mention one man with that many police present...

Curious,

@iliACEili also the man was on crack cocaine. Do you know what people who are under the influence of Crack Cocaine are capable of? Their have been people on cocaine who have been SHOT multiple times and lived to take an officers weapon and then kill the officer. Would your rather see a tazer being used in this case or a firearm? Seriously... The man chose to use cocaine and that is his own fault. It's ashamed he died yes, but in all reality who's fault was that?

[aysoreferee459]

@undedvamp and you are an expert right?

[aysoreferee459]

@iliACEili They didn't kill him. The cocaine in his system did.

[undedvamp]

This active man DIED of a drug overdose= police bullshit!!! People seem to die of "overdoses" a lot after being tasered multiple times by a bunch of NAZI COPS who spray them with mace and crush the air out of the lungs while they lay defenseless(surrounding=hiding it!!) While not killing people..Shelby Nazi Cops write $80 parking tickets and get kick backs from tow truck companies. Towing my car @accident scene= $455/4days. Then EMS fucks you while you suffer = $500 for the ambulace ride.

These results suggest that the probability of a dart on the body landing in 1 cm2 over the ventricle and causing VF is 0.000172

All of you need to learn to research before you go off on a tangent screaming that TASERS kill people.

[aysoreferee459]

The dart-to-heart distance that caused VF was 17 mmplusmn6.48 (SD) for the first VF event and 13.7 mmplusmn6.79 (SD) for the average of the successive VF events. The result shows that when the stimulation dart is close enough to the heart, X26 Taser current will directly trigger VF in pigs. Echocardiography of erect humans shows skin-to-heart distances from 10 to 57 mm (dart-to-heart distances of 1-48 mm).

[aysoreferee459]

Electromuscular incapacitating devices (EMDs), such as Tasers, deliver high current, short duration pulses that cause muscular contractions and temporarily incapacitate the human subject. Some reports suggest that EMDs can kill. To help answer the question, "Can the EMD directly cause ventricular fibrillation (VF)?," ten tests were conducted to measure the dart-to-heart distance that causes VF in anesthetized pigs [mass=64 kgplusmn6.67 standard deviation (SD)] for the most common X26 Taser

times higher than that required to stimulate an ectopic beat. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that the TASER X26 can cause ventricular fibrillation minutes to hours after its use through direct cardiac effects of the electric field generated by the TASER.

[aysoreferee459]

A taser is known as a less than lethal weapon and is used for compliance as well. No death has actually been ruled to have been caused by the taser itself.
