Shotgun 1 #3 December 4, 2007 Wow, getting tasered is in style these days. And now I know what to get all the kids on my Christmas list. Screw the Red Ryder BB guns; I'm getting Thomas A. Swift's electric rifles for everyone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zing 2 #4 December 4, 2007 Did they get Billy Vance? http://www.kwch.com/global/story.asp?s=7446220 Hearing Impaired Man Tased by Police Posted: Dec 3, 2007 08:35 PM MST Updated: Dec 4, 2007 08:16 AM MST Man Tased After False Call to Police by Michael Schwanke Donnell Williams had just gotten out of the bath tub, wearing only a towel around his waist, when he turned the corner to see guns pointing right at him. "I ain't never been so scared," says Williams. Police forced entry into Williams home while responding to a shooting, but it turned out to be a false call. They had no idea at the time the call wasn't real and that Williams is hearing impaired. Without his hearing aid he is basically deaf. "I kept going to my ear yelling that I was scared. I can't hear! I can't hear!" Officers were worried about their own safety because at the time it appeared Williams was refusing to obey their commands to show his hands. That's when they shot him with a Taser. Deputy Chief Robert Lee of the Wichita Police Department says, "This one occurred on the worst of calls, that being a shooting. The first few minutes getting control of the scene are very, very important." Once the facts were all sorted out, officers repeatedly apologized to Williams. Police wish it never happened, but with the information they had at the time, their choices were limited. "Do I wish there would have been some way they were notified in advance this gentleman was hearing impaired? I certainly do. No one is happy with the way it worked out," says Lee. Williams was not hurt in the incident. Police say the shooting call came from a cell phone but they still don't know who made it or why. The case is being reviewed by the department.Zing Lurks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zipp0 1 #5 December 4, 2007 It seems odd that they can't get the ID of the caller. There are phone records, right? Maybe a pre-paid cell? -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
