How badly do the police need Tasers?
Pretty badly. After all, if police in Nashua, New Hampshire hadn't had Tasers this woman might have gotten away with the crime of buying more iPhones than the Apple store policy allowed.
Yes, according to CNN, the woman, who apparently speaks no English, bought two iPhones on Friday and was sent away when she tried to buy more for relatives in China. When she ordered more online and returned to the store to pick them up they again refused her and told her to leave.
She got upset, they called the police, and the police decided to hit her with 50,000 volts.
What I found most striking in this story is that the police didn't even pretend that they needed to do it to protect the safety of the officers or bystanders.
…more attention needs to be paid to the corporate ‘murder’
of that black woman at the Houston, Texas WalMart last Thursday. I am appalled, having scanned Google for days, that this story has been brushed aside by the establishment media and the Lefty anti-establishment media (Gaza, Gaza, Israel, GAZA, says the Left). Well we have GAZA here right at home at the Mall. Walmart full time security people instructed this ‘hired gun’ (off duty deputy sheriff) to go after three black women shoplifters, resulting in the shooting death of 27 year-old mother of two, Shelly Frey.
This is AN OUTRAGE! Why is this story being BURIED? If a legal precedent is set allowing for some kind of ‘justifiable action’ bullshit, or WalMart not held responsible at all, this will set the stage for Corporate ‘Persons’ to be able to kill to protect their products (and Capital). WHY IS THERE SUCH SILENCE OUT THERE ABOUT THE MURDER OF THIS WOMAN?!
standard response gets repeated.
It’s as if they could kill someone with a taser and never see any consequences…
