This is a crock, the punk was destroying public property. When the police
told him to stop he ran. He tried to lose the police. When you run from
the police yelling at you to stop, these are the chances you face. It was
his own fault.
Tazers are supposed to be aimed at the targets back so the shock goes
through the spinal cord with a much lower chance of affecting the heart
(hence the criminal negligence charge).
Graffiti add an I sans a Y
Stop it with your rational thinking. The cops high five was to transfer the
evil power they had harnessed by killing an innocent victim.
Any weapon that has the potential to kill a person, inadvertently or not,
should only be used to prevent the imminent death of another person. The
law clearly says that everyone is innocent until proven guilty. The police
are there to apprehend suspects, but they remain presumed innocent until a
verdict. Risking killing a person just for not obeying a command is
disproportionate and immoral.
He deserved to die?
If that were my kid, that cop would be hiding for the rest of his life.
Dunno what country you live in– US will never be “civilized”
Yet another stupid comment by you.
*police start walking twords you yelling after they catch you spray
painting on a building* of course you’re going to run, that’d scare the
shit out of anyone, it doesn’t give the police free reign to taze the kid
to death though, especially since they could have easily tackled him
Officer followed procedure the host here has it spot on if he had not run
he would not have been tapered
The real question is-Was he wearing a hoodie??
Tasers are for fat, poorly-trained cops who can’t think critically. We tell
our kids not to stick their fingers in electrical outlets but electrocute
them for minor mischief. Really sad.
And I don’t care enough to make you see any different
I agree. They spelt graffiti wrong!
you’re really gonna shoot someone running away because of graffity? They
should have ran after him. If the taser is supposed be a substitute for a
real gun that implies they would have otherwise shot him which is insane.
no more pat boone walk in tub commercials
pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaase!!!! there everywhere i go!!
Tasers are only warranted as a non-lethal alternative to shooting someone.
Do you think this child deserved to be shot?
What’s up with Florida?
You sent me a PM saying you feel sorry for me, why?
Shut up Abu. You fn Muslim. NO Sharia law in the US!! Got it!
Graffiti should not be illegal on abandoned buildings.
This case, unlike a lot of others I hear about, is such a giant grey area
that I agree with not knowing how to feel about it. Other than maybe the
police trying to tackle the kid as an alternative to the taser, they did
their job the whole time, since the kid did actively run away like a
jackass. Of course, he didn’t deserve to die, but under no circumstances
were the police doing anything other than just making him stop running.
PIGS!!
I thought Israel is America’s top ally?
I mean, Tasers should be banned – completly.
The graffiti is the first thing that led to young man dying, though.
Here in Florida we got the correct story, the kid had two look outs while
he sprayed painted graffiti on public property. When the police approached
him they ran. They ran for several blocks trying to evade the police.
Finally when they got close, they tasered him. He was destroying public
property. I was a criminal evading the police. He deserved. Miami crime is
COMPLETELY out of control. People killing each other left and right in
Miami Gardens and the police can’t control them.
I think it’s time tasers had lower settings.
Why couldn’t they tackle and restrain him physically? Only if at that point
he could not be subdued should they have first deployed pepper spray and
then tazed if that failed. It should always be in that order unless a
suspect is armed with a dangerous weapon. Too many cops go for the tazer as
a first response to non-compliance.
That’s really fucking stupid.
Guns are a Last resort. LAST. Tasers are the better alternative. STILL A
LAST RESORT. You whining about Taser tech and not gun tech. Stupid
Republican.
Nothing about this post is a lie.
Proper training would be a good start.
You have not idea of what’s going on. Neighbors moving because of the
crime. As I said, spend the night in Miami Gardens and then come back and
tell me to stop spamming.
So he ran? Does that justify the use of a weapon that COULD kill someone??
Does it really matter? He killed him.
Really? You support the killing of a teenager?
In all honesty I fail to see how it makes it any different.
spellcheck no longer works…wut?
Pretty nasty , he didn’t deserve to die what you smoking Pakman? Way off
that you on dark side of moon. Tasers are not so un lethal, a lot more
deaths from them then is said. Obviously still not more than guns or most
weapons- but not zero deaths. Wouldn’t surprise if he was tasered multiple
times. Hope the cops carve into them a death that they caused of a kid.
This kind of disproportional force is what causes a general disregard for
law enforcement and order (along with massive social deprivation, massive
wealth inequality lack of free health care not to mention a highly armed
society and the aggressive tendencies that engenders; to name but a few).
You enforce minor laws strictly (Death for Graffiti), the less people
respect the major ones. Now stop spamming this page with your verbal
douchebaggery, George 🙂
shut the fuck up dude for real you a bitch dawggg ima beat yo ass
Yeah, you’re right, but he was tasered because he ran, not because he j
walked
yup, you got the “from the locals” story, where they try to hide as much of
the bad as possible
Cops could have said, let’s get him some other time, instead they
said:”Let’s get him!” The adrenaline starts going and they see red because
he disobeyed them. It was a graffiti for fuck’s sake, not a bomb. Not worth
risking the taser, which as you said is used very indiscriminately. Anyone
who says tasing is no big deal should volunteer for a trial shock, see if
they feel the same way after. And six cops for one teen? Over a graffiti?
I don’t agree with David this time because in this case its not like this
guy pulled out a weapon or showed signs that he was dangerous….at the
same time since the cop didn’t shoot the guy with a gun he shouldn’t be
charged too hard….Then again why the hell didn’t he just taze the runners
legs to stop him from running…
Boooo
