Gee, where shall one move to?  Maybe I should do an “Around the country by taser cases” series.  Not really about the war, of course, but I just can’t stop myself.  A “veteran officer” in Tucson, Arizona tasered a runaway nine year old who was already in handcuffs at the time.

Not distressing enough?  I am told by someone on a message board that it is being investigated to see if it was “justified” cause if not, it is a crime; therefore because it is being investigated, it means all is well.  Not.

First of all, she is handcuffed. So even if, as I suspect, she is screaming and fighting, possibly thrashing on the ground about being returned to the state home she ran from, how in hell is a taser the correct answer to an obviously hysterical MINOR, a CHILD??

Second, it bothers me more than words (even my entire stock of dirty ones) can express that what I seem to be hearing in regards to the ever increasingly bizarre taser usages is statements defending the cops.  Because, you know, if it really IS as bad as I think it is, that is SCARY AS ALL HELL AND GODZILLA WOULD BE BETTER!  Yes, there it is, Americans need to be in denial and find ludicrous excuses for why cops should taser children, men already immobile and on their hands and knees, women in shopping malls, folks who don’t sign tickets, etc.

Cause, oh my….if I am right about the cops turning into scared little men who have to taser little girls and old ladies, (1) WHO  is left to protect YOU from real bad guys, and (2) how do you know YOU are safe from the taser-gods?

And people still ask how the Jews ended up in the ovens of Germany, how could they be so compliant, how could they not see the zit of violence and genocide about to pop?  THIS is how, folks.  It begins with fear loosening your grip on civil rights and fair play, with your mind losing the need to QUESTION AUTHORITY.

Gonna be a hell of a ride, get ready.  I plan to live a hop, skip, and short jump from a border….
