05/30/13 Mesa. AZ Officer gets physical with man, which leads to a off duty officer recklessly running a red light and smashing into a car. the officer jumps out of car and doesn't check on the woman he hit. Then excessive force and unnecessary tasing was used on a man already subdued. The man did not commit a violent crime, yet he was treated very violently...You be the judge!

The Tasering and not attending to the poor woman in the car is completely out of line and the officers involved should be severely reprimanded.

I'd taser you and make you do the funky chicken!

Gotta admit that the cop in question should terminated from what I saw and read.

Once a suspect has been restrained there is no need to beat on him.

Especially over a broken ornament at a mall.

He will be found guilty. Mark my words. Videos don't lie.

Cops fuc*ed up big time again.

“I didn’t know he was freakin’ diabetic!” a Cleburne County, Alabama Sherrif’s Deputy is caught saying on camera as he shakes his head. At that point, though, it was too late: he had already used his Taser on the suspect. Twice.

That suspect was Ricky Jones, a 19-year-old diabetic patient who crashed his automobile in the city of Cleburne earlier this year after his blood sugar dropped dangerously low and he went into hypoglycemic shock. Deputy Dill of the Cleburne County Sherriff’s Department dropped by the scene and ordered Jones to exit his car. When the suspect was unresponsive, though, the officer assumed him to just be unwilling to cooperate.

“Do you understand that I’m talking to you? Answer my question. What’s the matter with you?” the cop barked.
Video footage obtained by a local CBS affiliate shows that deputy didn’t investigate much further.

The officer asked for Jones’ license and insurance, and when he was met with silence he issued him a warning: “Step out of the vehicle. Or I will tase you!”
Jones was fired at, twice, 23 seconds after failing to recognize the cop’s commands.

“Instead of getting medical treatment, he was shot by a taser,” attorney Jerry Murad tells a local CBS affiliate.
Jones survived the incident and is doing okay now, but things could have been completely different if he had not eventually been rescued by paramedics called to the scene. Murad was recruited by Jones to serve as his legal counsel and tells CBS the deputy’s actions were “an error in judgment.”

The defendant, Murad told U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas Dallas Division, “had not been properly trained by his employer, the city of Cleburne, in how to recognize these symptoms attributable to a person in a hypoglycemic state as a result of Type I diabetes.”

“In fact,” Murad added, the incident report files by police makes it clear that the officer was not even aware of the symptoms of hypoglycemia. “To the contrary, he was looking for a fruity odor from the plaintiff, which is not a symptom of hypoglycemia.”

Jones could have likely left Johnson County counting every cent they had by demanding a hefty compensation, but his attorney tells the Deburne Times-Review that “it’s not about the money.” Jones ended up settling for around $5,000, his attorney says, but now cops will have to learn from the one officer’s mistake.

As a condition of the settlement, all Cleburne Police Department employees will have to watch a 20 minute film from the American Diabetes Association called “Treating Diabetes Emergencies: What Police Officers Need to Know.”

“What excites me is the training requirement part, which I think can do some good,” Murad tells the paper.“The objection was not to go after anyone, but officers really need to know about diabetes and [CPD] could be a tremendous asset if they realize they made a mistake and learned from the experience. There’s been too many Taser incidents throughout the country.”

Damn-Not too smart

Basic First Aid....
Crash unresponsive....I am sure tasering a person to make them move
is not in any First Aid Book....

 

[McGuinty]

$5000 only. They sure got off easily there.

 

[Maurice Boscorelli]

Hopefully some good can come out of this and a more informed police services is a result.

And yeah 5K seems kind of light as compensation.

 

[L._s.]

Perhaps the Cop tought that his taser was an AED (Defibrillator). Obviously he was not the sharpest tool in the shed.

What a good kid! [/COLOR]Praise-Bowing Praise-BowingPraise-Bowing

I agree, this kid was a real good sport considering what he was put through. Policing is a tough job and they at times have to make a split second decision. I'm curious as to what race the kid is?

Human race

Questions like that are akin to going to the track and expecting to find Zebras in a hosre race

Kid must come from a very good background.

Sadly these incidents happen far too often. Recently I saw a clip of a woman being thrown around, to the ground, cuffed and she was having a diabetic seizure. It is also important for all of those that have illnesses of any kind to wear visible medic alert bracelets.

Pensacola, Florida (CNN) -- Was he a suspect or a victim?

A Florida sheriff says an unarmed man -- mistaken for a car thief and shot by deputies in his own driveway -- is both.
He refused to obey commands and lunged at the deputies who fired their weapons 15 times to subdue him, they say.
Roy Middleton, 60, was hit by two of those rounds in his legs. He is in good condition at a Pensacola hospital after a metal rod was placed inside his shattered left leg.
"The tragedy of this is the noncompliance to the directions of law enforcement officers," said Sheriff David Morgan of Escambia County, Florida. "Had that occurred we wouldn't be having this discussion. It's a tragedy all the way around. He is both a suspect and a victim."

'Like a firing squad'
The bizarre story started Saturday around 2:30 a.m. as Middleton was returning home.

Searching for a cigarette inside his White Lincoln Town Car, he appears to have been mistaken for a car thief by a concerned neighbor who called 911. Escambia County Sheriff's Deputy Jeremiah Meeks and Sgt. Matthew White responded to the call.
This is where the story takes a fork in the road.
Middleton's family said he was not feeling well enough to discuss what happened to him.
But earlier this week, he told the Pensacola News Journal that he first thought someone was joking when they yelled at him to, "Get your hands where I can see them."
He said that as he was turning around to face deputies with his hands raised, they opened fire.
"It was like a firing squad. Bullets were flying everywhere," he told the News Journal.

Deputies feared for their lives

But the deputies involved told a different story.
Meeks fired 12 shots and White fired three times, authorities said. They are now on paid administrative leave. Five of the bullets hit the White Town car, which was parked under a carport in a dark area of the property.
The deputies were in fear for their own safety, according to the sheriff.
"He came out of the car with more of a lunging motion coming out of the car, and the deputies were standing behind him and he had what appeared to be a metallic object in his hand," Sheriff David Morgan said.

Not buying it

But Middleton's family doesn't believe that story. His mother, Ceola Walker, 77, told CNN that her son was holding his car keys with a small flashlight on the key chain. She does not believe he lunged at deputies.
"I don't believe that. He said he didn't. I don't believe that," she said.
She says her son is incredibly lucky.
"They could have hit his upper body, but they didn't ....God just shielded him. I know he did, cause they was trying to kill him," she said.
Andre Lauzon, who lives next door and witnessed the incident, said it lasted less than 30 seconds.

Deafening gunfire

He was out smoking a cigarette on his front lawn when the deputies arrived, he said. His view was obscured by darkness, and at one point he lost sight of Middleton.
But the sound of gunfire, he said, was deafening.
"I'm very surprised that all they did was hit him in the leg," he said.

Timeline, lab analysis

Lauzon says his neighbor may have had trouble getting down to the ground because he was standing between his car and the wall of the carport.
"I don't have any doubt -- even not being able to see what was going on -- that he was complying with them," he told CNN. " Maybe not in the time frame that the officer was looking for -- but it seemed he was complying."

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement has taken over the investigation at the request of the Sheriff's Office.
"FDLE investigators are developing a timeline and conducting interviews and crime laboratory scientists are conducting lab analysis," Gretl Plessinger, a spokeswoman for the agency, said in a statement. "Once our investigation is complete, FDLE will provide the case to the state attorney's office. The state attorney will determine whether or not any laws were broken.
Walker said her son takes pain medication for a bad back. The investigation will determine whether that played a role in the incident.

"The message to the public is this was a tragedy," Morgan said. "And it was a tragedy because we had an individual, a citizen, who for whatever reason, either impairment due to alcohol or drugs, or just taking it upon himself not to be compliant to following basic direct orders."
But his mother disputes the sheriff's theory that her son was a suspect and a victim at the same time.
"How can you be a suspect and a victim at your own house? In your own yard, in your own car?" Walker asked.
