116. what a horrible story
Edited on Tue Nov-20-07 03:35 PM by Neecy
Police departments have come a long way in dealing with domestic abuse, but apparently not in Independence. I guess they don't have a mechanism for processing citizen complaints - that would get in the way of their incompetence and brutality.

Remember the Iraq war veteran they repeatedly tasered outside of a nightclub? The video was horrific. The guy was on the ground, subdued and in pain, and they continued to taser him over...and over...and over again. It was sadistic. I guess people get the police departments they want, which doesn't say much about Independence, home of swarms of Republican law-and-order types - until it's THEM who are on the receiving end of a taser or their children are. It's a police state over there, honestly.
