He’s right, the rule is arbitrary and taking to that level for wearing a hat is ludicrous, but he’s also a nut for getting bent out of shape over a hat.
Man who was TASERed at council meeting speaks
The man who was TASERed at last week’s Saginaw City Council meeting says he never attacked anyone.
Charles Littleton says he was only standing up for his rights — rights he says society continues to lose every day.
That is what got 22-year-old Littleton in trouble. He didn’t obey a rule inside Saginaw City Council chambers. That rule is that all men must remove their hats.
“It means more than just a hat,” Littleton said. “It’s like my crown. It’s like asking a king to remove his crown.”
UPDATE 1: In one of the comments, BryanP pointed to a fascinating article by a Texas cop who has a unique perspective on tasering.
UPDATE 2: Just ran across this even more egregious example of tasering which was apparently the result of lack of training by the police.
Arrested (and Tasered) while Seizing
The most recent report involves a Michigan man with epilepsy, who, when experiencing a seizure, apparently was unjustifiably tasered, clubbed, arrested, jailed and committed to a psychiatric facility for violent offenders — all based on non-threatening behaviors caused by a seizure.
BTW, it seems the last post on the guy in the UCLA library who got tasered has scrolled off the front page. Since it garnered an astounding number of comments, here’s the link to it to keep this all available.
IF the picture is the guy, he should be tazered just for looking like a Gansta. That’s reason enough.
Look at that guy. Do you REALLY believe he was cooperating with the authorities? Do you really believe he left the meeting without causing a disturbance? Do you think that when the cops went to remove him from the meeting that he went quietly, or do you think he fought the cops?
I think he did, and got tasered for it.
If you disobey a cops orders, you take your chances. If this guy didn’t agree with the rules, he should have left and came back later with a formal protest to present to the council, and ask for a rule change.
#32 an #33 that’s wut is called racial profileing, cuz he wans to dress in a style extremely prevalent among Black Males, he’s a criminal? Im blak an I dress similar so I am automatically resisting arrest? It’s shit like that, which results in kids goin to jail fa racial profileing. I mean my lil bro cant walk down the street without gettin stopped by the police just cuz he’s 13, black, an his pants hang slightly lowa den most peoples.
