[Texans]Weary sues City of Houston over tasering.

edit:

 

Whatever... HUGE DUDE, maybe did not complying with what an officer tells you, maybe he did, taser was up to the circumstance, and the officer will have to prove he had a reason. But I digress, I don't know what happened and neither did YOU all.


Anyone who is a different race than the police offficer will say it's "profiling." Respect the authorities. Comply with them. You won't get tasered. Disagree with THAT.

 

you should have stuck with you don't know what happened. the police already admitted they profiled him, so I don't know what you are so angry about. there was suspicious activity in area, he looked at us, go and read the article before you post again, that's basically what they said.

 

Just because you think or you were profiled it doesn't give you a right to give an attitude with the police. Hey may have not deserved to have been pulled over, but he may have been deserving of being tasered and arrested once he became aggressive. I don't care how pissed you are about being pulled over.

 

I hate to even bring this up, but when you look at crime statistics in Houston, particularly violent crime, the results are overwhelmingly skewed towards one demographic -- the one that Fred fits into. I'm not saying that he should be profiled, but at the same time, you don't go looking for a glacier in the desert.

 

In other words you're saying he should be profiled.

 

yes, so maybe the police should just pull over every black person in the city because profiling makes so much sense. i'm mean, don't you know you could run a crack house out of an impala.

they should just make black check points, because hell, at least 25% of the black population must be commiting some crime in their car. maybe they're robbing houses in their cars. they actually might take a house, put it in the car, and rob it. yeah, there's a reason for profiling

profiling makes no sense.

 

at least you got off the, "i know exactly what its like" excuse. as stated by an earlier poster, the woman is the one with a history of problems with the taser.

 

I would assume that at least 30% of cars driven by black men are stolen, and maybe 5% of them have a dead body in the trunk

I totally understand profiling

 

I do know what it is like. I have been arrested over ten times and have served jail time and probation etc. etc.

So you think it is excusable to be aggressive with the police?

Again, there is no doubt in my my he could have handled the situation differently where he could have just driven away. She didn't tasered him because he smiled and said "Hello Mam, how can I help you?".

Again, I hope he learned his lesson.

 

"put your hands on your head"

"hello mam, how can help you"

yeah, that's realistic

it never says he was aggressive with the police, and it excusable to become upset when you're a productive member of society and you get point out behind some b.s.

when you got arrested you were probably doing something wrong. Right?

 

Hands on your head???

They said they asked him for his license and he became belligerent.

You are delusional.

 

Shoulda been more respectful.

 

just like you are to believe you've ever been in similar situation, which btw, I haven't claim to have been in.

btw, he gave them his license and was still asked to step out of the car.

 

I shouldn't have been flying through red lights with weed either.

 

Oh, the humanity.

 

reduced to sarcasm, the charges against weary were thrown out, all you have are assumptions just to defend your stance. if they stood, then you make an argument for tasering, but as i stated earlier, having an attitude doesn't justify getting jolted with electricity.

you'll criticize mike vick for his treatment of dogs, but absolve the houston police department for jolting humans with electricity. what a warped sense of values

 

If Mr. Weary pushed me I would zap him too.

He can help his behavior. That's the difference.

 

I can't disagree with that. Cops have too much power, and their position is paid to little to have any intelligent ones (very, very few). Therefore, we are inevitably run by power-hungry, non-intelligent people with guns and tasers. To mess with these kinds of people would be idiotic. So yes, I agree, but I also think cops and teachers, etc. should have higher pay to induce smarter employees.

 

That's funny.

I am one.

Hence why I am on their side of this issue.
