5 Years In Prison For Torturing Anyone With A Taser Who Is Not Resisting Arrest - Mandatory

That and 1 year in prison for not having your bodycam working (if you turn it off on purpose).

I am sick of watching the police punish people with a taser who are not resisting.

I will give them the benefit of the doubt in a lot of cases, but they taser people to torture them.

I watched the videos.

Yes torturing someone with a taser is better than shooting them, but it is still torture.

5 years assholes.

In the pen.

At least 5 years. Some of them use a taser as if it's a toy when it can be lethal force. Vinca May 2021 #4

Automatic blood test for any LEO that uses force. That would include drawing a firearm, use of chemical or electric devise.

I think this would really help reduce the use of force and all types of drug use by police. Don’t think it doesn’t happen, just like every other profession.

Let's start with that.

But I do get your point.

A compliant suspect doesn’t move. Movement equals non compliance. Moving because of involuntary reactions due to a taser? You are non compliant. Struggle to breathe? You are non compliant.

The cop on the stand had to control himself when he realized the questions were leading to the implication that George Floyd became a compliant suspect when he finally stopped moving.
