Pretty sad. No doubt cops enjoy using tasers on people.

LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES USE TASERS OVER 300,000 TIMES A YEAR
Published: June 1, 2015

The use of a Taser in the fatal shooting of a black man by a cop in South Carolina earlier this year has reignited a debate about how safe they are and whether police are relying too heavily on them. Many people, especially residents of North Charleston, S.C., where the shooting occurred, have expressed concern that Tasers pose a health risk to some who are involved in run-ins with police.

Officer Michael T. Slager of the North Charleston Police Department fatally shot Walter L. Scott on April 4 in North Charleston. The incident was recorded on tape by a bystander, and the officer’s use of a Taser was documented as well.

Here’s a look at some of the numbers behind the raging debate over Tasers:

Slager had used his Taser 14 times in five years

The record shows Slager was no stranger to the Taser’s electrical charge, The New York Times reported. He used his Taser six times in 2014 alone, according to police documents. That’s four percent of the department’s total Taser use.

North Charleston’s police deployed Tasers 825 times in four years

That means the department, on average, performed 206 tasings per year. For comparison, The New York Times offered Tyler, Texas, a town similar in population but with 150 fewer police officers. Tyler’s department used Tasers 65 times in the same time period, or roughly only 30 percent of the tasings that occurred in North Charleston.

Over 18,000 law enforcement agencies have Tasers

The weapon is highly prevalent, according to Taser International. But there is no publicly available national standard for law enforcement in using one.

Tasers are used 900 times a day

Taking that data from Taser International and assuming every day is relatively consistent in Taser usage, that’s 328,500 tasings a year.

Tasers have been blamed for over 500 deaths

While Taser International says it has conducted independent studies to verify the weapon’s safety, some medical experts say the electric jolts can pose sometimes fatal threats to a person’s health. According to Amnesty International, Tasers are responsible for at least 500 deaths.

In an alley in Denver, police gunned down a 17-year-old girl joyriding in a stolen car. In the backwoods of North Carolina, police opened fire on a gun-wielding moonshiner. And in a high-rise apartment in Birmingham, Ala., police shot an elderly man after his son asked them to make sure he was okay. Douglas Harris, 77, answered the door with a gun.
The three are among at least 385 people shot and killed by police nationwide during the first five months of this year

US Cops Kill Every 8 Hours in 2015As of February 13, U.S. police have killed at least 131 people in 2015, an average of three per day, the vast majority by gunfire. Last year, police killed more than 1,100 people according to the killedbypolice.net website, nearly three times the number reported by local and state police and sheriff’s departments to the FBI. The FBI reporting is voluntary, and many departments, large and small—including New York City—do not participate. U.S. cops kill at up to 100 times the rate of police in other capitalist countries.

Nope ... they plan on being bailed out by the taxpayer.

Think that since you “aren’t breaking any laws,” police brutality doesn’t affect you? Well, that’s certainly not the case in one Michigan city. Instead of violent cops paying for their own wrong-doings, the legal expenses associated with police brutality will come directly from taxpayer pockets.

The city of Inkster is giving residents a one-time tax hike to pay for the massive settlement for Floyd Dent, a man brutally beaten during a traffic stop.

In January, police were caught on camera brutally dragging Dent from his vehicle, then choking, beating, and tasing him. Dent had no criminal history and did not appear to be resisting arrest in the footage.

Dent was charged with assault, resisting arrest, and possession of cocaine after the violent beating that left him hospitalized for two days. All charges against Dent have been dropped.

A video later emerged of an officer placing what appeared to be cocaine from his pocket in Dent’s car. Lawyers for Dent claim that no drugs were found in their client’s system, however a hospital later claimed his urine tested positive. His lawyer alleges the hospital conspired with police and that they will be the legal team’s “next defendant.”

"Quite honestly, it's our belief that Garden City did a favor for the police officers and checked the box," Dent's attorney, Gregory Rohl told MLive. "Do your research and you'll find there are other hospitals available; however, whenever they beat a person they always take them to Garden City Hospital for a reason."

The officer in the video, William Melendez, was among eight police officers acquitted for civil rights abuses in 2004, including planting evidence on suspects.

Now, Inkster is set to add a charge for all taxpayers on July 1, a hike that’s expected to bring in $6.45 million to cover the costs of the lawsuit.

The charge will cost property owners approximately $178.67 each, for a home with a market value of $55,400 — the median value in Inkster.

Currently, 38% of residents of the Detroit suburb live below poverty level.

The city has liability insurance to cover police misconduct settlements, but it will not cover Dent’s, as it only kicks in for payments over $2 million, and Dent settled for $1.38 million. It is currently unclear what the city plans to do with the $5 million extra that this tax charge will bring in.

Since officers in most places are not required to carry personal liability insurance, the money for settlements almost always becomes the financial burden of the community.

In Los Angeles, between 2002 and 2011 there was $13,848,558,900 paid in settlements to resolve lawsuits against the LAPD — that amounts to over one billion dollars a year.

In New York City, a lawsuit is filed every two and a half hours against the NYPD. They are sued so often, in fact, that the city comptroller, Scott Stringer, said that the 2015 budget would have to include $674 million for settlements and judgements against the police.

The budget allotted for police negligence and misconduct is more than the budget for the Parks Department, Department of Aging, and the New York Public Library combined.

In October of last year, documents released by the New York City Law Department in response to a FOIA request submitted by MuckRock, showed over 12,000 cases against the NYPD since 2009. Over $428,000,000 was paid in settlements in these cases over only five years.

In 2014, the city of Chicago had also paid out nearly a half a billion dollars in settlements over the last decade

The city of Detroit has paid at least $70 million to cover cases of police misconduct since 2004.

Officer William Melendez was fired over the incident and will be standing trial for assault. If convicted, he faces up to ten years in prison.

Is the cop still sucking air? If he is, that is evidence that this was not my daughter.

Don't think I can watch that video.

Surely you've seen something like it before, just another obese donut-muncher torturing someone...to death. Gotta maintain the illusion the unchallengeable all-powerful corporate (police) state. Hyper-violence at it's very best.

Noticed this as well, like they are afraid of commenting on anything that isn't completely neutral.

Do you have any idea how much time I spend watching cat videos these days? I know that both cats and zionist tyranny exist, but I only want to indulge in one.

From the comments 4 months ago:

She is dead now, we had her memorial. Only photographs and memories. And that cop still out there without even a reprimand. He has shot two innocent unarmed people on their own property in two other incidents. Imagine how omnipotent he feels. What did he get for all his wrong doings? Three paid vacations and not even a reprimand. Well hes out there with a chip on his shoulder, a sadist and bully who needs to enforce his will and doesnt believe in your rights. He wants you to instantly comply with any order he gives you and cower while you are doing it.. He is not there to serve and protect, only to enforce the laws that he himself will not obey. He is out there and he thinks he is untouchable and he is right.
