I don't know about English law, but in America, EVERY crime requires an action. Thinking about, or the potential to commit a crime, is NOT punishable. Oh let me guess, you fear that will change, cause Bush will remove that axiom of our jurisprudence. So, since the law is made by people...

At least I can feel secure in the knowledge, that in that guys head, the government is iminantly at his door to beat him over the head and drag him to a concentration camp, while here in reality, the governement can act within the law, and we must never allow it to operate outside the law and...

I am not sure that "I FORGOT" is a defense. Sounds to me more like saying "I FORGOT" means a definite conviction. Michael

And this means/proves what? Or are you one of the "the absence of something is the proof that something is wrong/bad" people? Michael

How utterly rediculous, comparing a persons CHOICE to ingest "dangerous" food to the INTENTIONAL INFLICTION OF DEATH on the unsuspecting innocent. Wow, so, are gun makers just as bad as terrorists because many more people die of gunshots per year (I have read that up to 9 times the amount of...

The greatest thing I just read this morning about the incident, is that some woman just came forward, and stated that she saw the whole thing, "the cops screached around the corner, and just opened up on the car for no reason." Maybe she is this incidents version of Tawana Brawley. Michael

Wrong, innocent until proven guilty for all. I never said that the Player was guilty. I said that based on what was being dicussed, that I felt the officer was justified in tasering the player. I never said he was guilty of anything, JUST that I felt the tasering was justified based on what...

Sorry for the tone, I didn't mean for it to come through. I am just tired of people using the LACK of evidence to be proof of wrong doing, big bad government control, and conspiracy. I deal in proof. The absence of proof is proof of nothing, not proof of the nefarious. I am NOT guessing...

Ooops, changed it to PC. Biker, nice to know you are "guessing" that it was caught on camera. How you can "guess" that is beyond me. How about I guess that the prosecutor is in the players pocket. How about I guess that the DA in the county is a football fan. How about I guess someone was...

Not surprising at all. An officer only need PC to make an arrest. The Prosecutor needs evidence to prove his case BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT. Prosecutors must decide if the cost of a prosecution is worth the effort and expense, and is win-able. Just because the Prosecutor has found that it is...

Are you an officer who is stating that the rule in IL is that you MUST advise the person why you pulled him over, do you know of a law that you can cite that states they must inform, or are you just stating that because when you have been pulled over in IL, they have always stated the reason...

Sic, your reading comprehension isn't all that good, Lol. I'm not twisting your words, I quoted exactly as you wrote. And I quote again from your reply: "An leo can tell me to leave or he will arrest me, or beat me, or taze me, or shoot me. He can gain compliance anyway he wants, and there is...

Stop twisting my words Yes, tasering, sdhooting, beating, whatever, someone when it is not warranted and exceeding the amount of force necessary is "police brutality", but threataning someone with those things, even when the underlying cause is not warranted, IS NOT "police brutality". I put...

No, you are not ENTITLED to be informed of why you are being pulled over. When you get your citation, then you will know why you were pulled over. And this whole being hit by the cruiser, we have no idea what happend. Was his car hit when they attempted to pull him over. Did the officer...

There is no indication that a tazer would harm you. In fact, when I was a medic we used electrical shocks to help people ;) But, technically, NO FORCE application is NON LETHAL. It is ALL less lethal. A headlock could cause the release of a blood clot, something which MANY americans...

Sic, you are totally wrong. An leo can tell me to leave or he will arrest me, or beat me, or taze me, or shoot me. He can gain compliance anyway he wants, and there is nothing wrong with it. He can attempt to gain complaince with the threat of blowing my head off. If you can show me one...

Why does everyone keep saying he was handcuffed prior to be stunned. No article I have found says he was handcuffed first? He was not complying, and was resisting. I know, we must wait for violence before we use any technique to stop the incident from escalating, otherwise most of you think...

Yes, perhaps if you take each "element" of the situation seperately, the hand slapping, the beligerance, the non compliance, the approaching, that is not enough to get tasered, but these things didn't happen in a vacuum, and they all happened together. Add them up, and they equal a tasing...

The University is allowed to limit access to students, to any of the buildings. Just because it is "Public" doesn't mean anyone can be there. The subway is public as well, yet if I have no token/pass, I am not there legally. Now, you can read into this anything you want. You like to assume...
