What made this teen different from any other teen? Why would the officer suspect him of being capable of murder?
I appreciate this, Warry, but what has it got to do with white cops injuring or killing unarmed teenaged black kids?Well, actually over 75% simply have "parent", as in singular, and even then the word "parent" is used VERY loosely Marrybore.
We have got to start being HONEST if we are going to discuss this.
Yes, the US has a shameful racist past. YES, blacks in the USA have not historically been treated the same as Whites, we all know that. Thats not good, and there has been great strides made, the US has many faults but really when compared globally is a pretty darned accepting society with a lot of opportunities. I know its rigged to the rich, I cant help that. I supported Sanders and others who promise to raise taxes.
But the race whining has just become so OLD Marry, its worn thin IMO. There are a LOT of problems in this community and they are mostly created by those in the community, and will have to be FIXED by those in the community. Or not.
And I am not seeing where the necessary behavior modifications are being made.
The cop needs to be put on desk duty for awhile and needs to complete use of force training. Multiple tasing was not necessary, the cop was being lazy.This 16 year old boy was walking while black in a white neighborhood, he want around back to visit his girlfriend, sadly for him he was being followed by a violent cop who tasered him while he was texting his girlfriend to come out and explain to the cop that he was not only there legally but that he was very welcome there.
Violent Cop George Smyrnios tasered the unarmed teen making him fall backwards hitting his head on a brick fire pit.
He tasered him a second time, handcuffed him, kidnapped him from a place where he was legally entitled to be (not having committed any crime except meeting an idiot cop) and he is being held 21 days instead of doing nice things with his girlfriend/friends.
Another violent aggressive cop who used violence for no proper reason.
Yes, but police officers don't go around tasering "almost everyone", do they?A contest of for the dumbest message of the day? Almost everyone is "capable of murder."
You got all that from my posts?The desperate level of hatred progressives now are REQUIRED to vomit out is sickening and people are being murdered and victimized in Democratic run jurisdictions as a result.
Who the hell would shoot to death an unarmed 16-year-old kid?The officer should be congratulated - in that he risked his life NOT holding his pistol instead.
I appreciate this, Warry, but what has it got to do with white cops injuring or killing unarmed teenaged black kids?
Would you please explain what justification the officer had for tasing a boy who was visiting his girlfriend's house?I'm sure the "teen" deserved that, and probably more.
It pays to listen to and cooperate with Police.
Thats what I always do.
The thought of an innocent, unarmed, dissatisfied Burger King customer being murdered makes you laugh, does it?Black "teens" have to listen to the Police just like anyone else Marry.
Now if you think you're SPECIAL, if you think you're at Burger King and you're going to "have it your way"...heh heh heh, well you might get tazed. You might get shot. You could go to prison.
The cop was in the wrong, Warry. Perhaps the kid should have been more attentive to what the cop was asking him to do, I don't know;
The "teen" is NOT a "victim" Marry. You are mistaken there. When you cant follow simple instructions and you force a Police Officer to use force with you, you are NOT a "victim".but that sounds like victim blaming.
Nobody "forced" the cop to do anything. The boy was not presenting a threat. Merely being noncompliant is not sufficient justification to attack him.Well....I *do* know Marry. Your statement is contradictory.
"The cop was in the wrong, but the poor teen should have listened"
Thats not how it works.
The "teen" is NOT a "victim" Marry. You are mistaken there. When you cant follow simple instructions and you force a Police Officer to use force with you, you are NOT a "victim".
OK then.
Yes it is. I equated what you were doing with victim blaming. It would have been wiser, perhaps, for the teen to have listened. But it's also wise to listen when you're being mugged at gunpoint. Does that mean the mugger is justified or that you "deserve" what you get if you refuse to comply?Well....I *do* know Marry. Your statement is contradictory.
"The cop was in the wrong, but the poor teen should have listened"
Thats not how it works.
He wasn't a victim? How was the cop's use of force justified in any way? Because the teen could have had a weapon? One does not, as a police officer, randomly go about violently assaulting teens dropping in on their girlfriends and holding their phone with both hands and texting because you worry they might have a concealed weapon. As you said earlier, practically anyone is capable of murder, Warry.The "teen" is NOT a "victim" Marry. You are mistaken there. When you cant follow simple instructions and you force a Police Officer to use force with you, you are NOT a "victim".
OK then.
That's because you believe all police - and everyone else - has a duty to allow themselves to be murdered.
The mans back was not to the officer, and the officer actually moved in a way to where he was further behind the individual, obstructing his view in a way. If he was worried about what's in the guys hands he could have stayed right where he was.A man is standing back to the trooper clearly with something in his hands. The State Trooper tells him to put his hands behind his back - which would allow the officer to see what he had in his hands. In my opinion, the Trooper endangered his life by relying that his taser could stop that man from shooting him in the head with a 44 magnum is that's what was in his hands.
FHP policy states: “The use of a CEW (conducted electrical weapon) is authorized and may be an appropriate response in the case of a sudden attack, or when ‘active resistance’ or greater is offered by a subject who is about to be taken into custody for any reason.”
I love the bootlickers that think that an officer who can clearly see someone holding a phone is a threat because that person "might be holding a gun".
Please, please...don't call yourselves libertarians, whatever you do.
Or that the LEO can't clearly see what that person is holding
and therefore in the universe of all things possible, known and unknown, it could be a gun and treats the person for that one unknown reason as a threat of harm or death to the officer or others and takes action against that person at the persons' expense.
Believe it or not, the cops can't harm you pre-emptively based on it's possible that he could have had a weapon.
neither was he offering active resistance or greater while he was about to be taken into custody.
Gasoline? What on earth are you talking about? The kid was sending a text on his phone, there was no gasoline, just an irrational poorly trained bully cop.I'm pretty sure dousing yourself in gasoline, refusing to follow instructions, and going berserk could be categorized as "active resistance", I do not agree with your interpretation.

It's probably just another story where the news affiliate desperate for ratings and it's out details that are crucial today situation in order to drive up viewership this works every time that's why they do it.This 16 year old boy was walking while black in a white neighborhood, he want around back to visit his girlfriend, sadly for him he was being followed by a violent cop who tasered him while he was texting his girlfriend to come out and explain to the cop that he was not only there legally but that he was very welcome there.
