[Peace-discuss] Boy with Broken Back Tasered 19 Times

[Neil Parthun]

Saw this article this afternoon while cruising Fark.com

The guy fell off an overpass and had a broken back from the fall.   
The doctors are saying that his injuries (and surgery they did) was  
consistent with a fall.  When officers found him, he was not  
following orders so the cops tasered him up to 19 times.  Due to the  
tasering, his surgery had to be pushed back two days.

 From the article:

"He refused to comply with the officers and so the officers had to  
deploy their Tasers in order to subdue him," Capt. Thomas Rousset  
said. "He is making incoherent statements; he's also making  
statements such as, 'Shoot cops, kill cops,' things like that. So  
there was cause for concern to the officers."

Authorities say their use of a Taser weapon should not be questioned,  
because they were trying to help Hutchinson to safety.

"It's a big concern for the officers to keep this guy out of traffic,  
to keep him from getting hurt," Rousset said.

There is only this moment,

  We absolutely have to refuse to attribute any kind of permanency to  
that which is simply because it is.

The point is, the only real tools we have are our eyes and our heads.  
Its not the act of seeing with our own eyes alone; its correctly  
comprehending what we see.
