... THE TASER AGENDA

SHOCKED INTO LINE ...
Hello all ...
The Taser, the new toy-of-control for the heavies-in-uniform, is the latest in the long line of 'supposed to bees' imposed by government.
The Taser is supposed to be a 'non-lethal' weapon, but the deaths continue to mount. It is supposed to be used only on those who physically threaten police or public, but it is being used in response to the most minor lack of cooperation.
Of course, supposed to bees are for public consumption only, as with legislation that is only supposed to be used against 'terrorists' when it is actually aimed at the general population.
It was always known that the Taser had the potential to kill. It is stating the obvious to say that the body's electrical system is rather crucial to it staying alive and when that system is short-circuited the consequences can clearly be lethal. The Taser unleashes 50,000 volts of electricity to 'jam the nervous system' of the target in the way described here:

And they didn't know it had the potential to kill? Even Taser International, the weapon's inventor, admits:
'Taser technology is not risk free, but independent medical and scientific experts have determined that when used properly, Taser technology is among the most effective use-of-force interventions available to law enforcement.' (My emphasis)
What utter baloney. 'Most effective' use-of-force simply means that it works in controlling people. Smacking them around the head with a baseball bat would also be extremely 'effective' in achieving the same end. It doesn't make it right.
Even when 'used properly' the Taser shocks the victim with 50,000 volts of electricity, never mind the repeated doses inflicted by some of the goons caught on video (put Taser into YouTube or Google Video). People with heart problems, including pacemakers, are at even greater risk and how do police officers know the state of health of those they attack with what a UN committee has dubbed 'a form of torture'?
The Taser-peddlers employ misleading propaganda like this: 'In healthy subjects, exposure to a 5-second electrical discharge from a Taser does not result in any significant changes that indicate increased physiologic stress ...' So if you get hit by a Taser and die it's your fault because you weren't healthy enough.
Stories of people dying after being Tasered are coming almost by the week at the moment and Amnesty International suggests that well in excess of 200 people have died so far. As its use increases so, obviously, will the deaths. And the use is increasing as original guidelines are relaxed - exactly as they were always planned to be.
In the UK, Tasers could only be used by 'specialist officers' as an alternative to bullets, but now they can be used against anyone the police decide is 'potentially violent', even when they are unarmed.
But Taser use goes much further. People in handcuffs, pregnant women, the old and the young, are now fair-game for these morons. One innocent deaf guy was Tasered by Wichita Police who forced their way into his home after a false alarm about a shooting. He kept saying 'I can't hear! I can't hear!', but they hit him with the Taser for 'refusing to obey their commands'. A British man was Tasered twice by another idiot while he lay in a diabetic coma, and see this example at Sheffield Lake in the United States involving a woman who was no physical threat to the officers.
Invariably, even the most extreme use of the Taser is defended by superiors to protect the credibility of the weapon. A Polish immigrant can be seen on video being Tasered to his death at Vancouver Airport recently when he was no threat to the three big 'brave' officers who dealt with him.
The lawyer for Robert Dziekanski's family said he had been in touch with witnesses and viewed the video of the incident taken by an onlooker and it appeared that the interaction between the police and Dziekanski, who could not speak English, lasted just 24 seconds before the Taser was used.

These three frail little policemen could not restrain this Polish man without use of the Taser that ended his life. Poor dears
Many police forces can even use the Taser on children and they are doing so, as we saw with the case of the nine-year-old girl at an Arizona school for special needs children. The girl was already handcuffed when a 'veteran officer' used the Taser on her. 'It didn't involve an integrity issue,' his superior said, 'The officer made a decision to do what he thought he needed to do'. How can it involve integrity when you don't have any?
In the UK it is quite legal to use the Taser on children even though the government's own Defence Scientific Advisory Council medical committee has said that not enough is known about the health risks of using the weapon on children. The committee, which is made up of 'independent' scientists and doctors, said that limited research suggested there was a risk children could suffer 'a serious cardiac event'.
The committee recommended that officers should be 'particularly vigilant' for any adverse response from Taser victims and asked for guidelines to be changed to 'identify children and adults of small stature' as being at potentially greater risk from the cardiac effects of what are claimed to be non-lethal Tasers.
The manufacturers have refused to accept that any death anywhere has been caused by its products because being hit by a Taser and then dying does not, apparently, constitute a connection. What claptrap.
So point number one: They knew it could, indeed would, kill people.
This 'non-lethal' - potentially lethal - weapon has been handed out to police officers in many countries with the aim of having it available to all officers everywhere. Now, what do you need to be a police officer? Intelligence? No, clearly not from the many I have met around the world. Some of the most mentally-challenged people I have come across have had badges on their caps.
All you need to become a police officer is to be accepted and selected by those in authority. Er, that's it. Thus, police forces worldwide are peopled to a highly significant extent by the stupid, corrupt, psychopathic and emotionally crippled (see Louisiana, I rest my case).
http://www.davidicke.com/oi/extras/07/december/4.jpg
In among them you do have the genuine, decent police officers who do have a brain in working order and do have a sense of duty and proportion. But here's the rub. Both the sensible and decent and the stupid, corrupt, psychopathic and emotional cripples are being issued with Tasers.
The uniform professions are magnets for the emotionally undeveloped - those who lack inner-security and therefore need to find it 'out there'. Many such people pursue their need for external security through the entertainment industry where audiences and fame provide their 'Your wonderful' fix.
This is why so many famous 'celebrities' find it impossible to cope with failure or their careers in decline because their sense of security, of who they are, also declines in proportion to their celebrity.
The darker side of insecurity, however, can often be found in uniform because this expression of what a therapist might call 'negative self-identity' seeks to find cover in having power over others. Secure people don't wish to control anyone because they are at peace with themselves and the flow of life. It is the insecure that need to control everything and everyone because life to them is akin to a baby lost in the dark. Having control, or having the appearance of it, is where they get their security.
These are the sort of people, the John Wayne wannabes, who are trigger-happy with the Taser when they are in no way threatened by the target. As we can see from the video evidence, the Taser comes out when orders are merely being questioned or ignored. Or, in the minds of the officers, their sense of security is being threatened.
They are so desperate to always be in control, always be obeyed, that their heads go when someone has the audacity not to do exactly what they say. What is going through their insecurity-filter is 'How dare you disobey me?' Arrogance is always a cover for lack of self-esteem.
In the past the most they could do was force the handcuffs on, call for back-up, or accept that the member of the public had a right to his or her opinion and the right to question the officer's actions. Now, with increasing frequency, out comes the Taser.
