The report "USA: Less than lethal?" is being published as the number of people who died after being struck by Tasers in the USA reached 334 between 2001 and August 2008.
This calls for a demonstration against police brutality. We can't let this sort of blatant authoritarian cruelty and abuse of human rights slip past our noses. The national press have picked it up, now we need to start a local campaign against the use of tasers and for the suspension and sacking of these thugs. The government of this country has armed and sanctioned a brutal gang which imposes its authority whenever it feels like it, whether given the slightest excuse or not. The police need to be stopped and soon, they need to be reigned in and reminded that they are servants of the people, not arbitrators of divine justice. Pigs.

before we all jump to a conclusion based on personal feelings, shall we all wait for the IPCC?
Or shall we all jump to wild arsed conclusions based on the few minuits of footage shown after the taser was used.
Oh one of the links for a death in custody is misleading (like anyone gives a f##k), it's pre a toxicology report, and the post mort showed no sign of injury. As I have been in custody you are asked if you have taken anything, so if you lie and say no then its on your own head.
but hey it's more fun to jump to conclusions, hope none of you do jury service cos I would be f##ked.
its so important to show solidarity with strangers when you witness cops being wankers, even if you don't want to get involved, just filming the event can provide good evidence.
A Demonstration against the Notts Police Authority meeting has been called to demend that the Police are Accountable for their actions, It was originally to protest against the £700,000 bill for Operation Aeroscope on April 13 , 114 people were arrested for planning a protest, but so far no one has been charged with any offence.

No issue then that the guy had already been thrown out of one club for fighting, bitten a cop, tried to attack two more cops.......
I think that they should have used their batons to break a few of his bones....or....wait....why not stop him altogether, with no further injury to him or anyone else.......
A tip....don't fight people and you won't get arrested.
I blame the excessive sugar in the doughnuts these guys eat, it affects their patience and self-control.
Strange how the random trolls who hijack policing and repression threads seem to go quiet when the police are so obviously in the wrong. Expect to see them back next thread, arguing that the sun shines out of the pigs' arses.

The police aren't "obviously" in the wrong. In the minutes and seconds before the video was shot the tool being arrested seriously assaulted a member of public and then went onto seriously assault one of the police officers who attended. He got tasered because he was being violent. He was punched in the shoulder because that is a HOME OFFICE APPROVED technique for getting people to release a grip without injuring them.
I'd love to see how any of you armchair coppers would have dealt with this differently or with any more restraintm except I know asking it of you is a fools errand. None of you would have the bollocks, instead happy to sleep soundly in bed knowing that someone else is walking around outside, ready and willing to take on the bad guys on your behalf.
Because ultimately, that's what it's about isn't it. You're quite happy to live in society, you're quite happy to ring the police when you're a little bit scared but as soon as they do something you don't like the look of you criticise them without knowing the facts and without having any knowledge of police procedure, or the trials/tribulations cops go through on a daily basis. These weren't protest cops, these were local cops trying to keep the city safe for people like you and quite possibly wondering now why they bother.
