Australia: “Lawyer argues Kevin Spratt may have been screaming in ‘joy’ while being tasered by police: A lawyer for two police officers says the court cannot rule out the possibility that a man was screaming with joy when he was being repeatedly tasered at the Perth Watch House more than five years ago.” [ABC] One never knows what will work in these cases: a jury in Orange County, Calif. recently acquitted two officers in the death of homeless schizophrenic Kelly Thomas, though it is not clear whether they accepted the suggestion of a defense lawyer that Thomas beat himself to death in police custody.

If the victim of the taser was expressing “joy and laughter”, why did the police enhance his pleasure 12 more times? The officers should be fired for pleasuring a person they were supposed to subdue because he was acting violently.
Just like police unions express joy when pay cuts are proposed.
Coming next to disneyworld. Super laser xtreme taser experience. Queues around the block.
He should feel lucky they didnt charge him. (taser….charge…see what i did there?)
