Officer Pedota's cat
It’s been a while since we had a taser happy cop firing away like Rambo having a seizure. I’m happy to say that a cop has obliged us in the most ridiculous manner in Browtf history…and seizures are a part of it.
A suburban Chicago police officer Tasered a man 11 times while he was having a diabetic seizure, and the 56 seconds of needlessly inflicted electric shock, “inflicted … while he was lying unresponsive on the floor of his bedroom, permanently scarred [him] and caused him neurological damage that has not abated.”
I guess you can never be too careful, right? But seriously, do you know how long 56 seconds is? Look at a clock and watch the second hand for 56 seconds and you’ll get an idea of how long 56 seconds is. The cops that beat Rodney King probably would have leaned in after 44 seconds and said, “Ok, that’s getting a bit excessive now.”
When the EMTs asked the cops to help them move Lassi from where he was lying on the floor, Lassi says, one of his “arms flailed during his diabetes-induced seizure, striking officer Darren Pedota. At no time did Mr. Lassi intentionally strike or offensively touch Pedota.” Lassi says Pedota responded by Tasering him 11 times, for nearly a minute, as he lay helpless.
I dare someone to go up behing Officer Pedota and pop a sandwich bag. I am picturing the street shootout scene from Heat breaking out.

Or something like that
Because otherwise, I’m not understanding why cops use them on anything that has a heartbeat.
Ozark police said they were called to a home where a mother asked for help with her unruly child, but the 10-year-old’s father said he’s outraged at the force police used against his daughter. “I would like to say Ozark police Tased this little girl right here. Ten years old and [they] shot electricity through her body, and I want to know how the heck in God’s green earth can they get away with this,” said the girl’s father, Anthony Medlock.
Seriously. WTF is going on here?
Medlock said his daughter does show signs of having emotional issues, but she “doesn’t deserve to be treated like a dog. She’s not a tiger.”
Wait, which one is it? A dog or a tiger? I don’t think you should treat a tiger like a dog either, sir. Start petting a tiger and scratching its belly, that’s how you end up mamed. Anyways, where was I?
According to a police report, the officer was called to the home by the mother and witnessed the child kicking and screaming. The officer’s statement said the girl’s mother, Kelly Hamlert, told him to use a Taser on her if he needed to. The officer did shock the girl after he said she kicked him in the groin. “He had no other choice. He had to get the child under control,” said Ozark police Chief Jim Noggle.
Is the town of Ozark run by popular opinion? Because the mother said he could do it, he did it? What if she told him to shoot her? Jesus Christ. And now he has “no other choice”? What happened to the old billy club to the small of the back? That used to do the trick. Did his billy club go gay? Is he 7? Did old-man strength skip his gene pool? I guess 10-year olds ran rampant through the country before the invention of tasers.
Anywhere USA between 1776 – 2000…
Officer: Chief, how they hell do you suppose we control these monsters at the playground?
Chief: Christ if I know. We’d need Zeus’s lighting bolt or something…For now, just let them roam until we can think of something.
40/29 News checked with several other police agencies about their taser policies.
40/29 news? Are they trying to put 20/20 news out of business? Ozark, strange place.

How dare you walk in front of me!
On a daily basis, I’m sure police chiefs have to put out more fires than they would like and their ability to handle PR has to be sound. This might be Tom Sweet’s first fire.
Glenrock Police Chief Tom Sweet says two officers “probably didn’t do things the best way” when they used a Taser on Bud Grose, a 76-year-old man, driving an antique tractor in a parade. State investigator Tim Hill has said the two officers contend Grose disobeyed orders.
Mind you, this happened in Glenrock, Wyoming. Now I have nothing personal against Glenrock, Wyoming but was this the first crime ever committed there? Unless those officers’ orders were, “Mr. Grose, please remove your foot from the president’s neck and point the gun away from his head”, then I think these cops might have overreacted a bit.
“Those two were the most out-of-control officers I’ve ever seen in my life,” said Scott McWilliams, a witness who said he was shoved by one of the officers.
Jesus. Did Rip Fuel just make it to Wyoming? I think someone needs to start committing some capital crimes over there to teach the law enforcement boys about orders of magnitude and fitting responses before someone gets their head blown off for loitering. WTF.
