Scruit Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) Florida teen killed doing what he loved to do: http://www.cnn.com/video/?/video/crime/2013/08/08/nr-vosot-valencia-police-taser-kills-teen.cnn Unfortunate for hiim, "what he loved to do" was graffiti vandalism and run from the police. Died after a taser shock. Autopsy pending. The media spin on this is crazy. "He was just painting an abandoned building". = He was vandalizing the building with graffiti. "He ran from the police because he was scared" = Most folks are scared of going to jail - that's what keeps most people following the law. "He was straight laced and never did anything wrong " = Except for vandalism and fleeing the police. "He doesn't take drugs" = Then why does he go by the street name "Reefer"? It's sad an unfortunate that he died, but the blame is all on him, not on the police. Edited August 8, 2013 by Scruit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silentcropduster Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Maybe he ran because those cops have a reputation for killing people. True story...Few years ago, car stop, black male 6'' 2-3" 250lbs + shaking in his shoes as I was arresting him for a felony warrant. Got him in the back of the cruiser. Had window cracked open I asked him what his deal was. Him: "Thanks for not beating my ass man"..me " what???"....him "u dont understand, if this would of happened in Toledo, they'd of beat my ass man" Me: " ooooook" (as he stares me dead in the face serious). And I thought I was more afraid of him. Warrant was for felony fleeing. Which is probably why they'd of beat his as once they caught him haha.

twowheelsnake Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Disclaimer: no I'm not going full retard... I personally think it might do a bit of good if we had a bunch more of ass beatings and "oopsies" resulting in death. It might actually deter crime! Hell our courts sure aren't doing the job! Get arrested one day, out committing crimes the next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jporter12 Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 We need to ban spray paint, too. If this kid wouldn't have had the spray paint he wouldn't have vandalizing that building, which is what got him killed...dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twowheelsnake Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 So, it's ok to "accidentally" kill a teenager for painting a building?You say that like he was being paid to do it and not vandalizing it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScubaCinci Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 (edited) the cops where I live do beat people.I didn't know forcibly removing someone from a car and cuffing them on the ground is "beating them"?? If she complied with his requests, it wouldn't have happened. I'm sure some cops get out line and use excessive force from time to time but civilians beat people regularly. You can't condemn an entire profession or race or species due to the acts of a few. It seems like most of the time stuff like this happens, if people would have been cooperative, this kind of shit wouldn't happen.

okeefe01 Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 In almost every single one of these "accidental" deaths, and uncalled for beatings, there is one common thing that would have prevented all of them. Do what the cops tell you to do! If you honestly believe that they are corrupt and can't be trusted, why would you give them any excuse to beat you, shock the crap out of you or even shoot you? Just do what they say, and if you don't agree, take a lawyer with you and tell your story to a judge. I have did some BS in my day. Some times the cops were fair, and sometimes they weren't, but I always did exactly what they told me and I never got whipped with a baton (they didn't have tasers then). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimTheAzn Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 That's it. It's time to ban all tazers.What about limiting the times you can taze people? Maybe let's say 10 times or less?Sent from my iPhone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magley64 Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 It sucks that he died, and I don't think vandalism + fleeing warrants death...If the cop opened fire on him, then it would be an obvious case of unwarranted deadly force. Being a tazer, it's a little more murky...since it's not supposed to be lethal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 (edited) I had a cop try and side swipe me with his car while I was on my bike the other day... He got next to me, hit his lights and siren, and then immediately cut hard right into my lane and ended up in the shoulder... If I hadn't slammed my brakes when he hit his lights, he would have fucking killed me.... He threw out some bs of why he did it and conveniently he didn't have a dash cam in his car...Crazy fuck. Real eye opener. I'll be getting a helmet cam now to cover my ass. Whoever thinks cops should just be able to kill any suspect they want, without trial, should go get fucked, this isn't Pakistan .
