I like your idea,
just leave the Irish out -

Let the Piggy loose in the pen with a sign.
save the taxpayer and the environment the cost of the electric chair.

That''s good GOP_forever , police brutality will keep you in line.

Why is everyone worried about this scumbag''s " right''s"?! Drug dealing is a very profitable profession. But that profit is at the cost of many, many destroyed lives. Let him pay the price. If it deters just one person from a life of crime, it is a bargain. I say excute him on the 6:00 news. Let Dan Rather host. Then will Capital punishment be useful.

The cops love their toys, and they love their power. Give them any, repeat ANY, excuse and they''ll beat the c**p out of you.

Everyone has seen the Gainesville student taser incident, and how the cops go nuts when given an excuse.

Some naive fools joke about how the kid was crying ''Don''t tase me bro'', but police brutality is never funny.

The lawlessness of the Bush administration has been a poor role model for police departments throughout this country.

[rytom64]

Problem is, when you need a cop, there''s never one around. They are too busy writing speeding tickets for 10 miles over the limit. Glorified tax collectors.

[rytom64]

To fear our government is a smart thing. All the cops are buddies with the prosecuters and judges and will get their way more often than not. If this isn''t a time to excersise the "Right to bear arms", and overthrow the government, I don''t know when else there is a time to do that.

[navyvet77]

Anyone who judges people by a group has a pee wit for a brain. To use one bad cop to judge the entire police force is not only wrong but is also stupid. You all love to hate a cop till ya need one.

Cops love these new tazer toys.

It is the most fun they''ve had
since the radar gun.

Of course the radar gun was no more
fun once they found out it may cause cancer.

"Don''t tazer me bro''"

While there MAY have been some reason to Taser him initially, there is NO need to Taser someone more than 2-3 times. Nothing more than some marijuana in his system, according to the coroner, puts the lie to the cops supposed belief (excuse?) that he was high on PCP and crack.

To Taser someone NINE times, while in handcuffs no less, is ridiculous.

This cop was just looking to get his nutz off. And contrary to what his lawyer says, the TV news reported that he violated EVERY policy of his dept regarding Taser use.

There are a lot of bad cops out there who think they can treat a person anyway they feel. Especially in Chicago.

I too would like to think that our police are just doing their job, but it is not always so. Tasers and pepper spray can be dangerous when not used properly. All too often they are being used for "fun" and weapons of vengenge. Then it is covered up by their fellow workers. Who claim the offender was fighting too much. I am beginning to fear our government a lot.

[whiskyrokkr]

Sounds like he was having fun at the prisoners expense.

Strange isn''t it? I''m free in this country to do any damned thing I want to! Go anywhere I want to! Work hard and enjoy the fruits of it! Take care of my business within the laws of this country and treat my countrymen with the respect they deserve, don''t steal from them, don''t sell them drugs!

AND I''VE NEVER SEEN A TASER GUN! NEVER HAD TO RUN FROM A COP BECAUSE THEY WERE CHASING ME! AND I THOROUGHLY LOVE THIS COUNTRY AND IT''S FREEDOMS! THAT''S WHY I LIVE HERE!

[eddom949]

What this ''YOU'' stuff, and no one? Nobody is interested in ad hominem attacks. You did it, and what a hassle.

But then we have the cases of hospital security guards tazing a man for talking, the same with the student who would not shut up--now WellHell3--it''s time for you to point out that if we all kept our heads down and our mouths shut and minded our own business then we would not get into trouble. Under Hitler, the German people thought the same thing. Many people do not realize that the German people were both the first and last casualties of WWII. It was their old parents, and handicapped or disabled or mentally ill or retarded relatives that the Treblinka and other mobile gas units were first tested on. (Hitler only wanted perfect Germans) That was not the only way to run afoul of the government. People who needed money became informants and lied on others to gain access to their daughters and wives and/or property--and the people they lied on were killed. This continued during the war with the SS often purging members in the ranks and their immediate families to teach lessons. Then there was the forced prostitution/rape of children and German women after the war. After the war--no one thought much or prosecuted much for a murdered German-so they were fair game to the Allies. --you either fight for justice while you still can or get it from both ends later--and if we get to later--like with the Germans--no one will have much pity for what befalls people like YOU.

[toldyouso12]

Why this cop and this case and not all the others? From people being tazed for being upset about their luggage to a preacher being tazed for a comment and a John Kerry heckler being tazed--this is getting out of hand. Police would not like it if ordinary citizens somehow started tazing each other in similar circumstances or even worse, upon their approach even if all they wanted to do was talk--began tazing them.

What if the people on each jury that keeps acquitting the cops and security guards--should all be tazed when they find those cops guiltless--just so they know what they are okaying by their votes--to be released back onto the streets?

Is this really the kind of rule that many of us want? The US is falling apart

[irliberal]

Cop/Nugent needs to be tasered to death. That would be justice.

[wellhell3]

If the guy was such an innocent why was there a warrant out for him? If he was such an innocent, why did he run? Even after handcuffing you still have feet, head, and arms as weapons. Whatta numb nuts to keep fighting when you''re caught!

If you want to stay alive...don''t deal drugs, don''t use drugs, and don''t fight the cops and try to kill your way out of an arrest!

I wonder if Nugent would like to be tasered 9 times in a row - while in handcuffs?
