This video shows Los Angeles Airport Police repeatedly TASERing an unarmed 78 year old senior citizen.
Officer Corrington can be seen holding William Lamb in place. Officer Rios approaches Mr. Lamb from the front and repeatedly fires a M-26 TASER gun while making direct contact with Mr. Lamb's chest and right leg. Although the TASER gun cannot be clearly seen in the video, it is described in police reports. TASERs are powerful electro-shock weapons that are designed to incapacitate by conducting 50,000 volts of electricity to an individual's body. It induces skeletal muscle spasms that immobilize and incapacitate the individual, causing the victim to fall to the ground. After Officer Rios exercises deadly force, Officers Corral and Corrington can be seen lowering Mr. Lamb to the floor.
The victim, William Lamb is a California State licensed Civil and Structural engineer who resides in Lancaster, California. Mr. Lamb, who was 78 years old at the time of this incident, entered the LAX Police station because his vehicle was impounded during an international trip. He becomes upset when officers refuse to release his vehicle, and threatens to sue the police. In the complete video one can see that although Mr. Lamb is visibly upset, he is not a threat to other citizens in the police station nor to the police officers. Citizens continue to conduct business at the police station counter.
During the 4 December 2004 incident, Mr. Lamb sustained a broken elbow and abrasions to the arms in addition to the TASER wounds. Several months after this application of lethal force, Mr. Lambs right leg spontaneously broke while walking to his mailbox. His femur broke at the precise location of the 50,000 volt TASER injury. Mr. Lamb's leg was repaired surgically and he now walks with the assistance of a walker.
Although it is generally agreed that there are valid police uses for electrified TASER gun darts, contact TASER usage is highly controversial. Many cardiologists believe that the 50,000 volt TASER can lead to death by interrupting heart rhythms. Numerous police agencies authorize the use of TASERs only when non-lethal measures have been exhausted. This video clearly demonstrates that Officers Rios, Corrington, and Corral were in control of the situation and could have easily handcuffed the 78 year old William Lamb if they had so desired.

ahhh the "they tazered an innocent old man" video. When the police explain something to you and then you continue doing it they tell you what will happen if you do not comply...when you dont comply the thing they told you would happen does. As for the m26 being lethal force.....no...that is wrong it is "LESS LETHAL" or "LESS THAN LETHAL" and a damnsight better than any of the other options out there....baton, OC spray, and pain compliance (aka joint locks)
I say we have one day every year were we can go around tasing, beating, and killing these vicious pig gestapo. I bet they would rethink their tactics real fast after just the first day of getting a taste of the injustice of pig brutality that american citizens put up with 365 days a year. Just another indicator of America turning into the next Nazi regime.
This fucking cops should hang for torturing an old man, Cops in America get away with murder its insane. In my town i've seen them beat the shit out of old people for protesting peacefully fuck the police!!! Just an example of Government abuse.
negative....the tazer doesnt have the juice to harm involuntary muscle....aka heart.
It will cause some OC propellants to burst into flame.....so you cannot tazer someone who has been pepper sprayed....and given the choice I would take a tazer to the balls rather than get sprayed again.
