Re: Tasers...

Odd, because I have in fact used one and I certainly didn't need to slam it in the ground like that, and I am not a big guy. Where did that information come from, out of curiosity?

I beg to differ. My brother is an officer, and he let me use his for a bit. Depending on how strong you are, it can be very difficult to retract. I guess it's simply proportional to what amount of force you use to extend it.

Re: Tasers...

Was yours spring loaded? Where you can press in with your body weight?

I've never held a police issue one, but I bet they are not spring driven. That does explain the strikes and why he didn't look concerned about where it it (floor is big target).

I have no idea, I don't own one. I asked a police officer if I could have a picture a few years ago and he whipped it out and handed it to me.

Re: Tasers...

To me it just looked like the officer was collapsing the batton. Friend of mine has had one for a long time, from the Army Surplus, not sure if police use same one or not but his does require a good amount of force to collapse it.

Re: Tasers...

Maybe you need to watch the video again.

Here i'll even give you the link and time ~7:00 watch the right cop jab that sucker into him. I wouldn't be surprised if he was beat to death.

So ya what was that big pole he whipped out?

appologies for the late reply.

That baton is not being jabbed into the suspect (even tho you can't see the suspect from that position)

The officer is slamming the baton into the ground to collapse it. If you've ever used an expandable baton you'll know how much force it takes to collapse it.

Inquest is in May - results are often suppressed until then.

Ah cool, thanks for the info!!

Re: Tasers...

It does seem odd that it hasn't come out yet.

Re: Tasers...

Uh huh, let's just keep waiting for that report.. you'd think with all the press they'd have a rush on it but who knows maybe in 5 years it will be published.

Re: Tasers...

So if he'd eaten a whopper 2 hours earlier you'd say "Well looks like Burger King played a role". Guess what - electical shock is an OBVIOUS cause of death, which is apparently not the case here. Maybe his shoes were too small, or perhaps the stapler has lead in the paint. You want to grasp at staws because it's convenient for your case then I can play too.

Actually I said what a coincidence... isn't it? I mean what are the chances that after being tased and attacked by the police you die immediately after. Therefore this would be a coincidence.
