I wonder what TASER International’s official recommendation is for anal application of its product?

I’d love to see the company line on that one.

Carlos…

Great blog, but lately I’ve noticed that your proof-reading has gone the way of the dodo.

“The officers were responding to a call of domestic violence, but neither Amidon or his girlfriend Laura Bryson.”

“Later that night, his anger had calmed down, she he went back the house and apologized.”

“He even shouted – “call the cops!” – to his girlfriend as he struggled with the door, but the cops had to be called.”

The first one is a fragment, the second one has an extra pronoun in it, and the third just plain doesn’t make sense.

All it takes is an extra 2 minutes to re-read and proof.

Whoa, Carlos, no more drunk posting, eh?

Only HALF a million.. He is letting them off easy – the photographer who was arrested in NY is suing for $2 MILLION and he was not even tasered. If I am ever tasered unjustly I would sue for at least $10 MILLION (assuming I live through it).

Man, this was badly in need of a solid proof reading.

Unfortunately, I was nodding off by the time I posted it.

I’ve been working a lot lately. Last night, I had an after midnight video shoot at a local club for NBC Miami.

I also try to keep this blog fresh by having something posted first thing in the morning for my morning readers.

But some times I run the risk of literally burning myself out, as I did yesterday when I woke up at 7 a.m. and was still trying to write something for this blog after 3 a.m.

The reason the claim is for only $500k is that Idaho has a statutory limit on liability for that amount. If I was on the jury I would certainly award him more than this to send a big message to the PD that this is BS.

Another excellent example of the absurd bias of this blog. Once again, you believe everything the arrested perpetrator claims and assume the police were in the wrong. There was a lot of that going on in this case, too:

Once all the facts were examined, however, the criminal was proven to be the liar. The same may very well be the case in Idaho.

I think this blog would be more aptly titled “Yellow Journalism Is Not a Crime.”

One is left wondering, however, at the quality of Mr. Miller’s journalism when he can’t even correctly capitalize the title of his own blog (hint, nouns and verbs are always capitalized in titles).

@NC

Ha! Because obviously that case being decided one way means this one must be *exactly the same!*

The blog title is incorrect according to which stylebook, exactly? You realize it’s Miller’s blog and he can run the caps any way he wants, right?

Look out Carlos. He’s copyediting at you now, inflicting his stylebook of choice on you. NC might even whip out his internet TASER.

When you pay for the content, then you can complain about capitalizing Is and other copy editing mistakes.

I am a citizen of Boise. Police ought to tase all scumbag criminals up their ass. I bet you won't becoming to Boise to cause us any trouble. That officer should have been given a medal. Finally we have an officer who knows how to enforce the law.

NC you are obviously a pig. The link was a good read though. Out of control cops get acquitted and sue the city. They get their jobs back only to go on disability. They even whine that their settlement placed them in a higher tax bracket.

“notice of claim” sounds so boring, and “tort” is just dirty… i believe “cha-ching” is the preferred legal nomenclature for this situation.

Jeez, “Injustice Everywhere” just deleted all the articles from his site. Please, everybody go over there ASAP and tell him to put everything back up!!!!!!!

Michaelk42 – I wonder what TASER International’s official recommendation is for anal application of its product?

“Apply conductive saline gel to target area prior to deploying prongs.”

He’s deleted all the articles from his site. What purpose does that serve? Tell him that the site was read, it was appreciated, and to put everything back up.

Thanks

NC’s funny. A guy gets a taser up the ass, and he’s defending the torturer who misused the taser and is whining about capitalization.

That’s rich.

Taser Parody International
Important Users Manual Addendum:

TASER Device Target Preferred Areas of Body. When practical, the preferred target areas are the subject’s torso (center mass) or legs.

• TASER Device Targeting Sensitive Areas. When practical, avoid intentionally targeting the head, face, throat, or genitals without legal justification unless located in Boise Idaho. While significant injury can occur from device deployment or use into these sensitive areas of the body, Idaho officers receive blanket immunity from prosecution. Always assure that suspects are properly taunted and humiliated when the Taser device is deployed in the ano-genital regions.

TASER Parody International does not recommend anal penetration and firing in most situations. However, such deployment may justified under the totality of the circumstances, such as suspected domestic abuse, a lack of respect for an officers authority, or felony ugly in public. When anal use is justified, TASER Parody International recommends KY brand of personal lubricant, for ease of insertion, and proper electrical conduction to ensure maximum suspect compliance. Taser Parody International can not assure proper electrical conduction and suspect compliance if used with other brands such as Glide, Astrolube, or Slippery Stuff.

Hey Carlos, anyway you can delete my comments, #’s 12 and 14, since the site is back up and everythings o.k. now? Thanks

lolz! Funny, Tom.

NC is obviously a cops can do no wrong idiot.. There is no possible legal or rational justification for anally probing the guy with a TASER. The cops of tapes show they acted completely illegally. They are required to identify themselves, they didn’t, that apparently is not open to debate, THEIR tape shows they didn’t. They might as well write the check today, the city lost before the case was even filed.
