To Start, we can read this
"I've got to wonder what kind of moron would Tase an adult holding a baby,"
Then we go on to find out...... Child Protective Services has custody of the baby because of a history of domestic violence between Lewis and his wife, Jacqueline Gray. The infant does not appear to be suffering any health problems from the fall, agency spokeswoman Estella Olguin said.
Here is the problem. The first comment was correct. Is there a doctor in the house, this man seems to be a trigger happy idiot. Yet still we go on to learn... In a statement, the hospital said Lewis was hostile and uncooperative toward staff members who were trying to find out his relationship to the infant when they saw him trying to leave. Neither Lewis or Gray had indicated they wanted a discharge, according to the statement.
Is that an excuse??? Me thinks yes. Or is it? "Mr. Lewis became verbally abusive by using vulgar expletives. When Mr. Lewis' behavior became threatening, endangering the infant and employees, licensed law enforcement officers followed their professional standards to protect those involved,"
As a matter of fact, it still is an excuse. What kind of, to use the vernacular, moron would do something like that?Too be sure, the taser may be a non lethal asset to law enforcement. Anyone who knows me can tell you that personally I dont like police. I dont think I have ever met one who was civil. But there job is to protect me and that may be a tall order.
Anyway, back to the point....Where in your training does it tell you to do this? Snow.man, do you have some kind of a legal perspective? It doesnt say that this dude was a threat. Why tase him?
I dont think it matters that, to use the vernacular once again, the child has not suffered any damage.
Disclamer: sorry about the formatting errors....blogger seems to not let me do things.
