Look, I'm telling you, just because the person was said to "have siezures" does not mean that the person can't be very combative.
I'll be the first to say that I think the use of the Taser is getting to be used a little to quickly in a lot of situations. And I also 100% agree that no one should be forced to go to a doctor if they can competantly say they don't want to.
And I'll go as far as to say that it is likely that the police in that situation didn't handle the situation very well. But that doesn't neccesarily mean they were absolutely wrong in their actions. More to the point it doesn't make them a bunch of pricks as was pointed out. Poorly trained? Perhaps.
That is the very definition of being a prick. A guy is having seizures so you cuff him, punch him in the face and taser him and you don't call that being a bunch of pricks? You have a flawed sense of morality.
Is it any wonder we are desensitized to four cops getting executed and we could care less? We have a segment of society as demonstrated here by PhoenixDemon that condones this type of abuse and willingly makes excuses for the gang in blue.
If cops can do that to a seizure victim I suspect they can do much worse and may indeed have done so. Maybe that's why they were executed and that would be just in my opinion.

This is one of the most appalling things i've ever read in this forum.
Not only are you wrong, you pick a time moments after 4 people have been murdered to say this type of thing.
You sir should hang your head in shame.

Think about that for a minute while I reply to another thread.

You are missing the whole point......you started of on this thread claiming that the 4 police officers that were murdered tonight basically got what they deserved!......I strongly disagree, there is NO evidence whatsoever that these officers were doing, or were involved, in anything but there duty, YOU claimed the alternative, YOU claimed that they were PROBABLY corrupt..........you sir are the whacko!!!!

And no one here has given me any proof that they didn't deserve it. Do you know for a fact they didn't deserve it? Things like this just don't happen in America.
A cop here or there gets killed but 4 at once by one shooter? Sounds like the cops ate their own or these four were into something or they did a grave in justice to the wrong family or the wrong person. A well trained pissed off person.
Of course I am speculating but you along with everyone else want to stifle speculation. I could care less. I speculate they deserved what they got for what they did.

What a ridiculous statement.
Why is it that people complain about loved ones being murdered but me and my friends can go through life without any murders?
That's basically what you sound like.
I myself, have not had my "life ruined" by police, but I've had several encounters where they were complete and utter pieces of #. We've had cops in my small town get suspended with pay for selling marijuana. They like to harass people, mess with them, play games and laugh doing it.
Sorry, maybe you live in a closed world. One bad cop doesn't mean all cops are bad, but I've seen enough bad cops in my lifetime to not give a crap whether "this cop might be good or not". I could care less.
Also, I don't consider this a tragedy. Horrible for the families and those affected indirectly, but hardly tragic. Becoming a cop requires sacrifices and risks, deal with it. A tragedy is the children starving from hunger and without homes all while the state spends millions of dollars on high-tech law enforcement toys. That's tragic.

Exactly, I was going to say something like this but I didn't bother.
People want to overthrow the government but at the same time honoring the police that are defending that corrupt government.
If people think they can bring down the government by peace and non-violence they are going to be in for a real sorry surprise when that same police mans gun is in their face sticking them in concentration camps.
There will be no overthrowing and replacement of government, not until the massive WW3 comes, and that time is soon.
In case you didn't notice it yet, America is in it's downfall and it's not going to be recovered.
No great empire in history has lasted more than 250 years, and America is bursting that limit.
America is going down the same exact path the great Roman Empire, money inflation, massive homosexuality, lack of original creativity in music, entertainment and fasion, falling economy, followed by an all out war with a bunch of other crap in between.
And if you didn't know America IS the Roman Empire revived, thats why America looks like Rome.
Google America vs Rome comparisons.
America has mirror imaged Rome almost exactly, and ancient Rome went down at a time when it had much better military and technology defending them than anyone in the world at the time. They didn't think they would ever go down.
Rome went down because they got to used to bullying the rest of the world, they spread their military forces thin by putting their forces in other parts.
Exactly what America is doing now.
Also if you been watching BBC news or anything you would know every other country has their nukes targeting America and Obama is running around begging for peace like a little you know what.
If you think the police have your best interest at heart you must be a damn fool. When the time comes to revolt, those same police officers will be standing between you and the governmen, with their guns aimed at YOU.

And of course I get a warning for stating a simple opinion thats not "popular".
I didn't violate any ToS, neither did I directly insult anyone on this thread, even after a few members threw direct insults at me with no punishment.
ATS is a pile of trash.
Apparently disliking cops is an "extreme violation of ToS"
btw ATS is run by the government.

Give these guys a break, they went to work they got murdered........now you give me proof that they deserved that!!!!
