Of course, Policeman Dawson won't face criminal charges in what he did>>>He is POLICE>>>He only got a 5 day suspension for killing a man over some silly work-related issue>>>This should have been an HR issue at most>>>At least when Buena Park Police Department killed someone the last time, they awarded the man's little daughter $5 million>>>I have to commend the city for this>>>However, as far as the BP Police Department goes, instead of hanging the sucker, they promoted the shooter out of the Department by getting him a new job in the Inland Empire>>>

This story was in New Jersey, and you're still humpin' the leg of this Buena Park PD rant. Whatever your beef is with the Buena Park PD, just grill it up and eat it, since the whole board is tired of it. You obviously don't have anything germane to go after the Buena Park PD in a civil case, or avail yourself of the legal resources to file a formal grievance.

My guess is that he is with either UCLA or CSUN.

Actually USC, where I'm also earning my doctorate degree. Since you're just a windbag full of lies, as made obvious on your conflicting posts in multiple discussions, you are a true waste of time.

Has anyone stopped to consider the fact that if this young man had just cooperated with the authorities he would still be alive? Of course, the police always get vilified for using the relatively safe and effective taser gun to defuse a volatile situation instead of using a night stick or shooting him with a real gun. I guess in the minds of some people, the police should just cower and back away and let criminals just do whatever they want.

What the F**K?

This cop MURDERED this teenager, and won't face charges? Over a confrontaton with his boss?? Hello....... disproportionate use of force don't you think?

Tasers need to go!! Seems cops like to use them and they think having them replaces using good judgement.

Folks we need to take control of law enforcement before things get worse!

Hello... it makes absolutely no difference whatsoever what the confrontation was about or who it was with, the simple fact is the guy was not complying with the police and needed to be brought under control. This teenager committed SUICIDE!
Things are already worse, and it's not because of the police. It's because criminals are being coddled way too much!

I SEE THAT YOU'RE FROM CINCI. wasn't there some stupid stuff with the PD in your city or some other Ohio city a few years ago? u should shut up. I understand the need for force. but you try this: keep your hands on a burning stove top for 37 seconds and see if you can stand the heat. actually try even 5 seconds. think before you write. 37 seconds is a looong time my friend. short bursts of the tasers and then hold him down and cuff him. 37 seconds is excessive force. kid died of a freaking heart attack. cop had the power to control his gun and didn't know how to use it.

Have you ever had a taser used on you? Don't call it safe and effective unless you have been electrocuted by one of these yourself. They are not safe and effective. As you can see, this is not a safe thing to use since people have died from being electrocuted with tens of thousnands of volts of electricity. Also, it has been proven that some people are so enraged, the electrocution actually gives them more energy and strength instead of disabling them.

Tasers are a sadistic weapon that allows police to be the bullies that they are without leaving a mark on the victim. You could be cooperating with the police but hesitate for one second answering their questions because you are scared sh*tless because you think they have an actual gun drawn on you and not a taser (in the dark, the gun shaped ones look the same to someone as a real gun) and are trying to make sure you understand everything they are telling you to do because you don't want to killed, then they push you out in the open so that they can electrocute you and laugh about it. Not only do they laugh about it, they brag to their buddies how they got the shot off before the other officers on the scene did. Then, with the electrodes implanted under your skin, they threaten to electrocute you more because you are scared out of your mind because you don't know what the hell happened to you.

Then you are feeling the after effects of the damn thing for 24 hours after. Your heart won't stop racing, all the muscles in your body ache, and your mind is not functioning properly because of all your nerves and synapses have been shorted out.

Like I said, the taser is a new way for these bullies to inflict harm on someone and torture them endlessly without leaving external physical evidence. Since the officers get in trouble for beating people with a night stick or actually shooting them because it leaves external physical evidence, the taser is their way to get their sadistic jollies off and fantasize about doing it over and over again when they get home because they are sick in the mind. About 50% of the time, police officers are former school bullies that have found an outlet for their sick sadistic need to instill fear into their victims and inflict some kind of physical harm "legally" without getting arrested for assault. Also, they can justify using their tasers by claiming that the victim (not criminal) was resisting them even if there was no resistance (for example, there was an incident about 3 years ago where officers pulled a woman over and used their tasers on her even though there was NO evidence on the dashboard camera and the microphone that she was "resisting an officer").

So I challenge you to go ask an officer to use a taser on you so you can see how safe and effective it is and then come back and tell us how wonderful a weapon it is. Then you should go and tell victims and families of victims of this sadistic cruel police brutality and tell them how it is a safe and effective weapon that does not harm anyone.

I also would love to see the statistics of taser use on relatively slow days and nights like the extended thanksgiving weekend or on Christmas just because they need an adrenaline rush to get their jollies off when they get home or back into their police car.
