Graphic video of an unarmed man who was zapped with a Taser 13 times. [YOUTUBE]gcsIVEnOlsE[/YOUTUBE] A day after the video was released, a man died in Sydney after police stunned him in the chest with a Taser. In the video, an unarmed, dark-skinned man who refused to undergo a strip search in a Perth detention facility is shown screaming in apparent agony after being zapped with a stun gun eight times while surrounded by nine police officers. He was stunned another five times off-camera.
For once....JUST THIS ONCE!.....I hafta say this NEEDS to be broadcast..... For the plight of the Australian Aboriginal is *still* a painful gig that they are STILL going through to-day.. Stridfes hve indeed been made on their behalf by the government, as fr as being treated decently is concerned... But, in certain pockets of antipodean society there is STILL a considerable ways to go.. Just remember, folks.... That's NOT an 'Australian' thing.... Nor is it for The World Outside of The United States... Or ANY particular fiefdom of the globe.. I *could* be wrong....but I'm *not!* OpinionsCartoonStudios@Yahoo.Co.UK
The victim was an Aboriginal man who had objected to a strip-search. Western Australia's Corruption and Crime Commission issued a report and noted that indigenous people threatened with a police Taser were 30 percent likelier to be stunned with it, compared with a white person. "Taser weapons are being used disproportionately against indigenous people," its report says. "This pattern of use is increasing."
