I have watched the video, it is beyond disturbing. It is unfortunate but once you see it you cannot un-see it. It is sickening, these cops should forfeit everything they have to the victim and and then be sent away for many years. When cops do this kind of thing they are doing it in our name, we pay them, we authorize them so effectively we are doing it.

Lock them up and throw away the key, they don’t have a right to be in society much less cops.

I thought the whole purpose of qualified immunity were for cases a law enforcement officer might REASONABLY not be sure were ethical. Nowadays, they seem to be exclusively used for things that it’s quite obvious no LEO should do. If that’s the case, it has no purpose. Any LEO who doesn’t know that what was done in this case should never be done, is not qualified for the job.

Most farm boys I have known have been dared to pee on an electric fence. It has/had a very electrifying effect. Fortunately I could still father kids later in life. I did win the dare. 🥴

The Comirnaty vaccine just received full FDA approval, but FDA documents describe the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine as “legally distinct” from the Comirnaty vaccine.

Nope. I was gonna day that if it was a fired taser, y’know, from a distance; those suckers are notoriously inaccurate (one of our local PD hit the wrong person on accident with one of the two prongs). A touch taser though? No. NO. No fvcking excuse!

Jesus. Having had an ovarian cyst the size of a golf ball, I now know what being tapped in the ‘nads feels like (same nerve endings to the comporable organ), but that...? I can’t imagine that, and don’t want to.

They deserve no immunity whatsoever, because that’s as sh!tty as, “cruel and unusual” gets.

It’s almost guaranteed that the Jury will be sympathetic toward the arrestee. Anything that involves #A..Being dragged out of your car, #B..Having your pants and drawers pulled down in the presence of your children #C.. Having your balls blasted #D..While you are handcuffed!! can only be classified as physical and psychologic torture.

My only question is what is taking so long?
This happened in 2017.

I remember seeing this video when it was first released, though I do not recall citation of his being tased in the genitals.

It is officers such as this who give others a bad name and qualify the activists’ actions against such, but it is his leadership which bears the brunt of the liability for 1. Not dismissing him sooner (prior to the incident, given his now notorious record), 2. Not taking immediate action against him to protect the integrity of the force.

Anyone without direct or indirect knowledge who watches television shows which frame police bureaucracy politics at the upper echelon should be aware that it DOES happen, and far too often.

This is why NOT A SINGLE retired Portland Police officer answered the call of their former bosses to return to the force, despite generous signing bonuses.

An astute warfighter - most get my drift - understands both the threat to them without...and within and, despite the ‘brotherhood’, understands also that one undisciplined, reckless plick can take out the entire squad.

This guy should NEVER have passed his psyche eval and I hope that the grand jury negates his QI.

Qualified immunity is what you get from COVID fauxzines, meaning it comes with all sorts of disclaimers. Real immunity is what you get from a real vaccine or when you recover from a disease

So the officers thought this was legal behavior. Incredible.

Maybe during the trial to discover whether the officers should have reasonably known this was bad, we can pull down their chonies and tase them in the schlong for a few minutes and then have them testify whether they thought it was reasonable or not.

The officers argued that it was not clear at the time whether this sort of thing was against the law.

Yeah, right. Who hasn't heard about jack-booted thugs in various tyrannies in the world using cattle prods to torture male opponents? It's been going on for decades and has been documented many times. Probably where these lowlifes got the idea. Only an idiot would think it could possible not be against the law in a country such as America.

If he executed the c*nt who tased his balls, and I was on the jury, I’d vote not guilty.

When I first read the headline, I thought it said "Tasting a Guy in the Crotch". Slightly different situation. That's why I clicked on the thread.

Now that I'm here - "Legal at the time" or not - pull down the guy's pants and taser his genitals? Sounds like the basis for a lawsuit at the very least.

The cop, Schneider, is a criminal and needs to go to prison for a lengthy time period. This is pure torture. Its not even arguable that tazing a handcuffed person lying on the ground was necessary - let alone pulling the guy’s pants down and tazing him in the junk.

Seems pretty obvious that these are some bad cops here.

Why were these folks selected to begin with? No mention in the article.

Were the cops out drinking and just decided to harass a bystander?

Immunity means you can’t be sued at all; qualified immunity means you can’t be sued if the victim is white.
