2. Not ONCE did I ever mention that police are always innocent. Didn't you read my last post, I posted that about 11% of all police shootings are against innocent people. How is that siding with the police?

That doesn't make any sense. If we counted taser deaths, the total would be well less than 1%. Since '99 (counting police taser use only - some of the numbers you all are citing are counting regular people with tasers. I know a couple of people (females) with tasers for protection) there have been about 100 or so deaths from the use of tasers. Since it's almost 2006, that comes to about 14 a year. Tasers are used about 100,000 times a year. That's .014%.
I'm still waiting for you or Roth or Simon to tell me why 14 deaths per year is worst than over 300 deaths per year!!??
Why are tasers, which don't even come close to killing 1% of the victims, going to cause a civil war and guns aren't??
My work - makes sures the laws of this land are being follow; even helps congress in the writing and dealing with new laws
1. You provided no link for that list
2. You have provided no evidence those people were murdered by tasers
3. You have provided no evidence those people were tasered by police
4. You have provided no evidence those people were defenseless

I can tell you I did do some researching on it for about three hours lastnight..and I find it sad that instead of doing alittle research yourself you cover up your fear of it being true by laughing at those of us that provide the info for you.

Thatsjustweird I didn't put that info up there for the death count...I put it up there for the amount of uncalled for use by LEO's....I guess you don't care that old women and children that can obviously be subdued without the use of a taser are being hit with these things...not once but more than once after they are already on the ground.How many times will it take of this happening before we are fed up with it?I woke up this morning still mad as hell over that video of granny.
That would explain why you are so ready to deny any evidence put here about any of this...You're not with us ..you're with them..You were given a list of names of people that have died from tasers...have you even checked so much as one name on that list before you said this?
My guess would be no...why?Because then you would find out that it's mostly true..And before you say anything along the lines of providing links..well we have given you the info you need..It's up to you to find out for yourself if it's true.The time you spend sitting here telling us we all don't know what we are talking about could be spent checking to see if we are right or wrong...

GUNS HAVE CAUSED MORE DEATH, MORE INJURIES, MORE TROUBLE ETC. THAN TASERS. WHY IN GOD'S NAME WOULD PEOPLE START A CIVIL WAR OVER TASERS WHEN GUNS ARE 100X MORE DEADLY AND CAUSE 100X MORE SERIOUS INJURIES AND ARE USED 100X MORE?

wish you people would just slow down are actually read what I wrote. This is starting to get annoying have to explain simple stuff over and over again. Just SLOW down and read.

What have I denied!!!!!????
Because it would show these people didn't die solely from tasers. Like the first person for example. He died because he was ODed on speed and other drugs. If the police officers would have used a gun in that situation, what do you think would have happened? (note: the drugs he was on make him numb to pain. Officers have shot people several times and have the person still fight them in similar cases)
And why don't you list the people who are shot to death by police per year?
So again I ask you? If you haven't started killing police and government officials because of their use of guns, why in the world would you kill them because of their use of a taser?
The suit, filed Wednesday, calls the Taser use ''sadistic'' and ''malicious.'' It alleges jailers pepper-sprayed Boggan's face, stripped him naked, forced him into a shower cell and then shot him at least shot three times with the stun gun after he disobeyed an order.''Each time the Taser's darts were shot into Mr. Boggan's wet chest and he was shocked with 50,000 volts, the entire shower cell walls flashed as if lightning were striking in that small space,'' the suit alleges. ''Mr. Boggan screamed for his life on each occasion.''Boggan then collapsed and was put in a restraining chair that was dragged back to his cell, where he remained without medical attention until he was found dead seven hours later
And this gave the officers the right to treat him the way they did?
He was arrested Aug. 18 after knocking over boxes at a Dollar Tree store during a ''mental episode,'' according to the lawsuit.

"Weapons" Plural sir, meaning its not just tasers. Another answer to that is that we're just focusing on tasers at this moment, there are tons more "non lethal weapons" other than that, that could start this civil war.

You're caught up in an IDEA you're focused upon and don't yet realize that some of us are talking about PRINCIPLES.
You know we could just as well be chating about how many people have been killed just by using a kitchen knife. A kitchen knife is in most cases just a kitchen knife. Is it by it's nature a non lethal weapon, used to cut bread or spread butter on a piece of toast. But when does it become a LETHAL WEAPON? By the nature of it's existence, or by the will of the one who turns it into a weapon?
If you accidentaly stabbed someone to death, let's say 5 times, don't you think that someone might consider it very strange that the same "accident" happened 5 times in a row? When will the judge and the jury decide that it is totaly normal and natural that the same accident happened 5 times in a row and send you off a free man?
And how many scars do you find on taser victems that can prove that they weren't used excessivly? Or beyond human respect?
Anything that has ever been used or invented by mankind can also be MISUSED. That's what JT is pointing at. Nothing else.
And stop complaining that we don't understand you. Understand yourself.
Part of JT's story is non lethal weapons that turn out to be lethal...That would mean..anyone..anyone?That's right TASERS!
Guns are considered lethal weapons so it doesn't come into play right now does it?
You're hung up on the whole gun thing why?We all know cops shoot people we don't need to hear you remind us over and over..
Do I really need to answer this?
Do you know anything about the effects some drugs have on the circularity,respiratory,and nervous systems of the human body?It doesn't matter if you feel pain or not when your heartbeat is already elevated..a 50,000 volt shock to a heart when it is already beating faster can and will cause the heart to become distressed.Do I need to provide you a link for this also?

The only thing I have denied is that John Titor is real. So please, yes answer the question.

Okay,
There will be no civil war in American in the next few weeks, nor will there be no in 2006. This "John Titor" person is clearly bogus; he is just making money off of peoples fears.
Sad.
