I only read the text without reviewing the video. I trust your observations.

That had to be brutal getting your eyeball electrocuted.

I knew a guy who took mortar shrapnel to the eye, pop’ed his eyeball out, dangling by the nerve and they had to cut it and tie him off to stop the bleeding while being flown out. But he survived, wore a patch and went on.

I watched the video. . . I ga-ron-tee that you are correct, The Cajun.

[GeronL]

I cannot imagine what that feels like

[deks]

Thank you. We can be civil here and not tear into each other over the text that we’ve entered into the reply box.

[GeronL]

Attacking sleeping people, all in a days work!

Thank you for keeping us... Scared?

[The Cajun]

I just feel sorry for the poor kid, don't give a hoot if he was drunk or stoned, but the idiot cop was in no way being threatened.

The kid did no action to deserve that, the loss of an eye for life.

Hey, GeronL. I see you’re coming up on 15 years here in October. I’m curious. How many comments have you made all together? How many articles :)

[skinkinthegrass]

and after suing f.o.p./city & state; go after his LEO's pension plan, too.
Make Malicious P.O.S. unemployalbe for any Gov't. ELO agency.

[skinkinthegrass]

Thanks to everyone for commenting.

This will probably get more views in the morning, so here’s a link for you (email notification...probably available within a month or so...500 rounds a pop) . . .

Got my 1000 rounds on Tuesday afternoon. They sold out of .22 ammo tonight (not virtually instantly like some other links). You can get ammo by clicking on “Notify me when item is back in stock” . . .that’s how I did it :)

Hey, GeronL. . . Sorry, I don’t usually just “chat”. Hope I didn’t kill the thread. . . maybe you’ll see this in the morning ;)

[RC one]

eye for eye, tooth for tooth AFAIC.

The only people that think Tasers are the solution for every situation are the people at Taser.
I certainly wouldn’t trust my life to one. The failure rate in real life is too high.

Here’s a you tube link => https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qas5wRCwZ40

What do you think of the officer’s actions?

[Kozak]

Oh. I didn’t realize being drunk or asleep was a crime .
Oh COURSE the officer should have shot the bad man...

>> Oh. I didn’t realize being drunk or asleep was a crime .

You inferred that from my post #16?

[NoCmpromiz]

Does a cop with a taser qualify as a jack booted thug?

[NoCmpromiz]

Um..

Ignore post 39..
