Ever wonder why tazers are used so much now? There is an award for torture by tazer given out to law enforcement etc, by tazer makers...Kinda like the Emmy's , but it's for sadistic asshole authoritarians performances in hurting people.It is the glorification and honoring of torture and torturer.
The Meritorious Service/Taser Award was presented to Officers Joseph Eubank, Ethan Shear, Kevin Kay and Dan Jermansen for successfully subduing a patient without harm after he threatened staff at the Neuropsychiatric Hospital with metal scissors.

When will torturers be stopped?
When will bullies stop?
All it takes for evil to prevail is for good people to do nothing.
I think the bullies may have to be forced to stop this, because obviously they feel no shame and therefore have no consience... And that end will begin when all bystanders finally , personally take the responsibility of protecting each other onto themselves instead of hesitating for another to lead,as a victim suffers in the hands of authorities or to their weapons or their systems of coercion.
When good people finally decide to stop avoiding their own discomfort feelings and turning away,when they see a violent or unfortunate event happen to another person and instead of running away or closing down or standing there,decide to help, get involved,fight for someone else, open their mouths,take the risk, to make the Evil STOP right now.
Do we all have to wait until the threat to the bystanders is equal to the threat the victim faces at the hands of some authoritarian asshole before the bystanders around the incidents decide to act on their own consciences instead of waiting for leaders to emerge from the rubbernecking crowd to approve the decision to act to help ? Bystanders choose to behave as if most people have no inner locus of control and act like sheep. WE all need to feel the Empathy and conscience for ourselves and each other,but that's not all.. We need to develop a relationship because we need to have solidarity with each other to stand against the authoritarians who would dominate abuse and crush..us all one by one. If we fail to relate to each other as human beings, we are most certainly crushed.
Warning graphic.(ptsd folks don't watch this if it triggers you.) I Wish bystanders could have intervened here.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/6089618.stmShow up at some law enforcement ceremony if you hear of one, bring as many people as you can, and BOO the Tazer awards.Or better yet cream pie the tazer awards Or DO whatever else it takes to STOP the glorification of TORTURE wherever it occurs.And get the shame and bystander interventions on video and stream it on-line.It will show people what good people doing something CAN do.. These bullies should have no place to honor torture, without facing SHAME for doing such insult to human beings..
