Tasers in the United States where do you stand?

In Delaware, I have found one fatal use of taser that resulted in death.
Policeman cleared Wilmington Police Lt. William Browne did not violate police department policy or procedures when he shot and killed Derek Hale last year, according to the findings of the two internal investigations conducted by city offices.

According to the Delaware State Police in the DSP consulted with both the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) and the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF) before deciding to adopt the Taser as a tool for law enforcement in Delaware. The Police also consulted with national experts in the law enforcement and medical fields. “We wanted to be sure that we identified and adopted the best practices for use of the Taser and that we implemented the most effective and appropriate training programs for our Troopers,” said Colonel Thomas F. Mac Liesh, Superintendent of the State Police. As of February 26, 2009 there has been 100 Delaware State Police Officers armed with tasers.

The same is not the fate of many in other states around the United States.

In Texas a 72, year old Great grandmother is tasered.

In Ozark, Missouri a 16, year old was tasered 19 times was placed in icu with a broken back and broken heel. From the results of the tasered the 16 year old boy was not able to have surgery for 2 days due to his white blood cell count.

22-year old Saginaw Valley State University student Charles Littleton was tasered and dragged out on Nov 6, 2006 when he attended a Saginaw city council meeting. He was charged with felonies for wearing a hat after being tasered.

The results from a 14 year old girl being tasered with epliposy and is now unable to climb stairs and her balance is off. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzHDP3gLDJw

If this is what a taser does to a bull, think about this what does it do to an human being?

15-year-old dies after being Tasered by police Warren Deputy Police Commissioner Jere Green says the teen was Tasered Friday while struggling with officers inside an abandoned Detroit house. He later was pronounced dead at a local hospital. http://www.mlive.com/news/index.ssf/2009/04/15yearold_dies_after_being_tas.html & http://newsone.com/nation/police-kill-teen-on-bike-in-drive-by-tasering/

This is tasered in front of his wife for a traffic violation.

It does not just stop with the children, the elderly are also tasered. Virginia Dodson of Whitehall, Ohio can tell you she experienced the tasered at Walmart, her crime she could not find her car.

Gregory Williams, 40, a double-leg amputee, has experienced the taser What threat could this man possibly pose to anyone? http://taseredwhileblack.blogspot.com/2009/09/police-taser-unarmed-legless-black-man.html

In Dayton, Ohio police taser 49 year old Denise Harris who is blind and suffering with cancer.

It has to have some effects on police officers. In New York Michael Pigott was an experienced NYPD lieutenant who committed suicide. His wife Susan Pigott says in her lawsuit that NYPD disciplinary action after the incident caused "extreme emotional anguish, humiliation, depression, fear and shame." The suit was filed to clear her husband's name, she said. It seeks no specific monetary claim. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,575148,00.html?loomia_ow=t0:s0:a16:g2:r4:c0.147339:b28861378:z10

UPDATE: 15 year old Yasmin Mendiola was found yesterday

Dickinson High teen reported missing

A 15-year-old Newport girl was reported missing today after not showing up for school Monday.

Newport police said Yasmin Mendiola was last seen at 6 a.m. Monday when she left to go to Dickinson High School.

This afternoon, her mother received a call from a man with a blocked phone number who told her that she would never see her daughter again.

The caller said, “We are taking her to Toronto,” Newport Police Sgt. Stephan Johnson said.

The anonymous caller also mentioned the city of Wilmington and the name “Zavlos.” I did a google search on the name and this is what I came to

She is a B.I.G (Brazilian it girl) model and was raised by the famous Zavlos Roco, the creater of the O.T.T (Organ Theft Trade) in Rio de Janeiro, ...
ambibambi25.blogspot.com/.../espadril-roco-from-wikipedia-free.html

Johnson said authorities do not know what that name was referring to.

Flyers have been distributed to police in Wilmington and to the Latin American Community Center describing Mendiola as missing.

“Hopefully, this is nothing,” Johnson said. “But we can’t take it lightly.”

Mendiola is Hispanic, about 5-feet tall and weighing 140 pounds.

She has brown hair and brown eyes, and also sports a pierced lip.

Police are asking anyone with information on this teenagers whereabouts to call Newport police at 995-1411, Wilmington police at 576-3620 or Delaware Crime Stoppers at (800) TIP-3333.

Contact Terri Sanginiti at 324-2771 or tsanginiti@delawareonline.com

ANTOINETTE'S POINT OF VIEW

I could only ask if anyone knows where this young lady is that they would report it to the police and have this child safely return to her home. I can only hope and pray that she has not already been transferred out of the country to Canada.

It is time that we all must band together to protect our children, attempts on young girls abductions have been tried in surrounding states within the last month or two in Pennsylvania. We have to put a stop and form neighborhood watch to protect our children at the bus stops and if they are walkers to walk with them to school. We need more parental and neighborhood involvement when it comes to our youths and the things that they are being threaten with.

I plead with everyone to keep an eye out for this young girl and for all of the children so that we do not have any more children that are going off missing from their homes.

I plead with all parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and friends to think of her as if she was your child, your granddaughter, your niece, your cousin and friend or neighbor and help find Yasmin.

Read and share your thoughts on this story.

Curtis Flowers faces 6th trial in Winova Mississippi

The trials of Curtis Flowers have been dogged by misconduct

Curtis Flowers who has been tried for an quadruple murder in Winona, Mississippi in July of 1996. It has been alleged that Curtis Flowers murdered Bertha Tardy because she had shorted him, $82 from his pay. Flowers worked at the furniture store for three days just prior to the July 4th, weekend in 1996. When Curtis did not return to work after the holiday and he contacted Ms. Tardy he was informed that he had been replaced.

Prosecutor Doug Evans claims this provided Flowers with a sufficient motive for the most vicious murder in Winona history.

Curtis Flowers first 5 trials resulted in 2 mistrials and 3 convictions that were overturned. At the end of the 5th trial,

Juror James Bibbs was charged with perjury at Curtis Flowers fifth trial and held in prison overnight for voting against a conviction against Curtis Flowers. James Bibbs who is an outstanding citizen was charged with perjury that was later dropped against him.

He has been sentenced to death three times, only for each verdict to be overturned on appeal because of what the Mississippi Supreme Court described as prosecutor misconduct. In one further trial, the jury failed to agree after dividing broadly on racial lines.

The district attorney, desperate to score a conviction in such a high-profile case, has played dirty to win.

One of his tricks, exposed by a refreshingly impartial Mississippi Supreme Court, was to fiddle the jury selection to exclude black jurors. Winona is a very racial city in Mississippi with the civil rights records in the United States.

Dispite the unlawful holding of Curtis Flowers in my point of view of having to be charged for a sixth time, he now has to deal with local state senator. Lydia Chassaniol who has introduced a bill that would widen the jury pool in such a way that critics say would make it easier to select an all-white jury.

Senator Chassaniol is a member of a local chapter of the right-wing Council for Conservative Citizens and addressed their annual conference. the nature of this rump of the red-neck, good 'ole white boys, confederate-flag-wavers is striking.

Their hatred of inter-racial marriage, homosexuals, liberals (aka communists) identifies an atavistic streak that still remains 150 years after slavery.

As one of them told me: "It's all right for them (non-whites) to practice their culture but they should not take ours away from us. We are probably the most discriminated race in the country."

Badges like these show that racial tensions remain in Mississippi

How will Curtis Flowers now fair with a 6th trail for the same charges with the racism that runs high in the state of Mississippi? How many times can Curtis Flowers be held for trial in the same crime.

The war on America's children. Sentenced to life in prison without parole

In the United States of America, we have a pandemic a state of National Emergency that is worse then the Swine Flu or any other epidemic that is going on this country. It is something that people read in papers and shake their heads to and feel bad for a moment or so and go on with their everyday lives. Not that this is anything new, just a new device that is being used to declare a war on black Americans and the poor. For Black America it crosses all social bearers and for every other race it is seemed poor.

>

We are in a time where our children are placed in jail for life without the hope of parole! Children who has they age they mature are placed under arrest. Where is the gatekeepers for these children?

Isn't it time to go after the true mastermind behind the cause of these children who are brainwashed into the acts that they have done and that maybe done in the future? Where are the laws for the video games and the cartoons that show and that they play where they shoot up people or get shot and then come back to life? The music that is made today is not uplifting to them to strive after a life of a moral standard, it is design to glorify gangster life.

Where is one to look for answers? Is it the parents or is it the school system that has failed or the community? Or do we perhaps just look at that a child whose mind has not reached a level of maturity and does not clearly fully understand the consequences of their actions that every decision that they make good or bad can effect their whole life?

There are approximately 73 United States children who are minorities who has been sentenced to life in prison at the ages of 13 and 14 according to the Equal Justice Initiative.

On November 10, 2009, the United States supreme court is now looking into these cases against children as cruel and unusual punishment.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/11/07/supreme-court-examine-life-prison-juveniles/

We can now only hope and pray that the sentences for these children will be reverse and that they will have a time frame for imprisonment that is determine by their maturity and the maturity that they can reach later in life, so that they can know that one day they can walk out of the prisons into freedom.

Minneapolis' William T. Hurley, is the prime reasons for jails, birth control and child abuse laws.

Black parents have always been strong disciplinarians when it comes to disciplining our children. We all know there comes a point when you have to take a deep breath and just walk away or deal with the child at a later time, because of how angry we maybe of what the child has done.

Every parent knows or should know that there is never a time when you turn on the oven while knowingly knowing your child is in there hiding to get away from the beating that you are giving them. That is the time to walk away. Someone should of told this to this sick 23 year old father who caught his 10 year old son in his mother's bedroom. Who then felt the need to punch his son and then to burn him on the arm and leg with an extension cord and threat to kill him. Now this was told to the Minneapolis police by the little boy. So now this poor burned and beaten child tries to run out of his apartment and the the person who should of been coming after the madman who was harming her son, his mother. She brings the child right back to the madman and the boy runs and tries to hide himself in the oven. CAUTION WARNING SIGNS, THE FIRST ONE WITH THE IRON WAS ENOUGH, HE NOW TURNS THE OVEN ON WITH THE CHILD IN THERE!

Even after police miraculous appear this sick man, still threatens to continue to beat the child in front of the police officers. Hurley's to soft charge is malicious punishment of a child. Normally a black man would of been charged with attempted murder and a long list of crimes and I pray that they will also be included in the charges of this man. As for the so called Mother, she she be charge with the same crimes and more for allowing this man to do this to her own child. I hope that there are no more children that they have together or a part.

People have been charged doing less acts of malicious to an animal than with this child has endured. I don't want to hear of any plea bargains, no, I went insane for a moment. Also charge the mother with the same crimes and more for being a fool and failing to provide a safe as possible home for her son, and for failing to be the one person that he should of been able to go to for help and safety.

Despite the fact that President Obama gave an okay, for black parents to beat their children, I truly hope that he never met for this beating that this 10 year old received by his father is to be used to this extreme.

I hope that this child will never have to return to these people (his parents) again.
This sick bastard must have watched too much TV, and thought that "Hansel & Greta" is the way how you raise children according to the witch. And the scene from "Good Times", Penny's mother burned her with the iron, as a form of discipline. This is not the way to raise children.

Time to stop the no snitching, and change it to I have to tell it.

Eric Holden has stated when it comes to the United States that we have become a nation of cowards. I'm going to agree with that statement and place it in the following manners.

When we see the injustices that are done by others to each other, to hurt and destroy their soul, we are cowards, we will not speak out. When we see someone being beaten to death, we will not intervene nor call for help for that person, we close our eyes to it. When we see a young girl become gang raped and beaten, we become specters as is we are watching a movie with a terrible scene that is not real, only pretend. When we see people being robbed, we walk by and pretend not to notice and only hope that we ourselves do not fall prey to the same fate that has become cast upon that person, we are cowards. We witness and see things that may not be of such a violent scale but yet we see injustices all around us, and never beat an eye, we don't get involved, we don't pick up the phone to call for help for people, we just walk away.

What has happened to us, have we become so desensitized that we cannot feel another person's pain? Do we view everything as if it were a movie and afterwards we can just turn it off and feel bad for a moment, but continue to pretend that it was not real, it was just actors on a screen or movie reel that was placed there for our entertainment?

Why is it that we can see when injustices are made against people by people of authority and be quick to call them out and to tell that story, but not tell the story of what a person has endured by someone on the street or in their own home. Where is the outrage at then? We see the outrage when it comes to our own families that these violent acts are done against and then we are quick to shout and ask for help from anyone that has seen these things being done, often we find that we will receive what we have done and just be silent, so in turn we receive silence.

Have we become so programed that we can see people suffering and yet do nothing to help, even in small things, feed someone that is hungry? Lord, we hardly even speak to people on the streets and to ask the time of day is almost like asking for that person to give you their life savings.

Have we ourselves become a victim to a society that can just view suffering and become so afraid that we almost don't go outside of our homes?

Is it the video games, or t.v., music that has taken over our compassion for each other. Have we become immune to injustices and can carry out our day as if nothing is unusual because after all it did not happen to me? Are we walking around in a trance, see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil. Perhaps we are walking around and thinking that we are still asleep and that what we saw was just a bad dream, because after all, we could not possibly be around these things, because that always happens somewhere else or to someone else, but never to my neck of the woods.

So therefore if we have convince ourselves that it is not real, then it just becomes entertainment and not something that demands action to try to correct it.

This is just my take on what is going on in the world today, especially after the Richmond High School Gang rape with the 15 year old girl. I just wonder what is it going to take, for people to drop the no snitching law of the streets, and start the snitching law of love thy neighbor?

It is time to for us to deprogram ourselves, cut the T.V. off, cut off the video games and change the music and rap videos that has done such damage to our minds. It is time to do things as a family so that we can restore family values and pride in ourselves and our children, so they we not become victims or the criminal behind the horrific acts that is always present for us to see, that is real and unreal.

From California to Philadelphia, leave our daughters alone

On the west coast in California a 15 year old girl is gang raped outside her high school dance. Where she was beaten and raped for over two and a half hours in an unconscious state, and over a dozen people watched. She was flew to the hospital.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTA2E5o-fcs


http://www.comcast.net/video/Police-Say-a-Dozen-Watched-Gang-Rape/1310402482/AP/newest/

I am relieved to hear that some of them were caught, I can only hope and pray that the rest of them will also be caught. As for the people that witness this horrible act they also should receive the same punishment for failure to not to even make a phone call to 911 to help this young girl.

In the Germantown Area of Philadelphia, there is a sick man walking as a serial groper targeting young teenage girls.

The suspect description was similar to seven similar assaults in the area as far back as June 2008.

In all of the previous incidents, the suspect groped female teenagers, ranging in age from 14 to 17, as he jogged past them.

The subject has been described as a black male, about 40 to 50 years old, over 6' tall, dark complexion and medium build, sometimes with a beard and wearing jogging clothing. In one case, police said the suspect had a noticeable limp as he was jogging.

As parents, what are we to do?

Do any of these men, have women in their lives that they respect and give honor to? How would they feel if this was their family member or friends?

As a society what are we to do? What are the schools and local officials going to do, not just in these states but in every state? Do we need to have more police officers around school functions at bus stops and walking routes to schools. In the budgets should not funding be in place for the protection of these girls and boys?

Do we not need a Rev. Jesse Jackson to have a representative of himself in every state as he stood up when it came to the senseless beating and killings in the streets of Chicago where the children are going to and from school. NO, I a not saying that the Rev. Jackson, should take and do a personal representation in every state, I am saying that in the states it's self, a person of that standing should stand up for the children's protection. Who is the watcher over the children.
