16 yr old Boy tasered by cops 19 times

I think we all know who you are talking about. I guess one person feels the need to stick up for the indefensible actions of gangsters with badges.

I'm sure even the current staff know who're you talking about.

Equating cops to gangs is like equating homosexuals to whores.

Don't you have a bridge to hang out underneath?

Are you talking about those bridges Obama's suppose to create? Yeah those don't exist yet.

I think one commenter on this thread just spits up the Party Line. the end result of the propaganda attack we've allowed on our televisions for years.

Good job on your research.

Medical records from the hospital show Hutchinson was high on LSD the night of the incident.--

As I suspected this was just a hate cop thread more than an informative one.

you have access to this kids medical reports?

where can i view them?

link please?

@ spindian_shaw

I haven't found any access to the actual medical records, though, I agree, that would certainly be helpful. I haven't found much information on this at all. I'm posting what I find, if it's from what appears to be a credible source. I believe he is referring to the the article I posted here which states, "Medical records from the hospital show Hutchinson was high on LSD the night of the incident." It is stated under the heading "Cut 1".

I think it should also be considered that his behavior AFTER this experience is not necessarily indicative of or analogous with his behavior BEFORE the experience. This whole mess could mess a person up, so don't totally discount cause and effect. Of course, that may just provide an explanation--certainly not an excuse.

It also says on the same page:

His mother, Stephanie Hutchinson has told the Christian County Headliner that the hospital told her there was a trace amount of marijuana in her son's system.

and

Hutchinson's mother tells the Christian County Headliner that her son was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol... but, does admit the hospital told her they had found a trace of marijuana in her son's system.

One would have to prove that tasering causes personalities to change.

LOL Jammer you are in rare form today! Fiesty and diligent on several threads; you must be exhausted :P You know I'm just trying to analyze this thing from all angles, and being fair is not a bad thing! Addressing your quote (yes, I'll address you, but it's a one-a-day limit, because we both know you're trying to whip people up): "One would have to prove that tasering causes personalities to change." But my point, as I think you probably recognize, was not that tasering would change one's personality, but that traumatic events MAY POSSIBLY affect a person... and, really, that's not a stretch. I'm fair-minded, analytical and just considering the possibility that people may be affected by the things that happen to them.

I am a little tired.

But suggesting that the cops altered/changed/influenced him in any from more than he himself did with his drug use and jumping off a freeway is a bit of a stretch.

OK. You know I will not argue with you. Get some rest, so you can come out swingin' in the morning. :)

what we need here is a virtual taser...hell, I might be tempted to use it.

Id take a hammer and smash the hand that was still holding on to the ledge.

I despise the pigs with every fibre of my being.

I don't think he died.

@ jgritty,
Thank you for your response. I think you're right. I just found and posted an article that is on a Branson radio station's web site. He's alive and well, I believe.

Xiola, if you look at the video, towards the end they say he died...

Because of his drugs or because HE jumped off the bridge and those injuries?

@KSirys he didn't die, and the video doesn't say that.

@J_Hammer He died from the drugs, now go play in traffic.

Ah he died from the drugs.

I must meet this J_Hammer.

Hiya KSirys, I was just looking for legitimate documentation of all these events to try to get a handle on it all, you know? Just trying to verify what is true and what isn't for myself. I cannot find any documentation saying he died. I couldn't find in your video where it said he died, but maybe I missed it. What minute mark did they say that? (Just to clarify: I am not saying that it is acceptable to tazer a 16-year-old with a broken back 19 times, whether he died or didn't, and I am not denying that police brutality happens.)

there is no admissible evidence that he jumped Jammer...that is just what the cops are saying...the jury is still out on whether police officers who are capable of tasering a 16-year old with a broken back 19 times are also capable of pushing that same child off of the bridge.

LSD does tend to make people be reasonable and logical.

If the video here made you upset then this story should make you cry.

Your logic is skewed.......................

That is a full story.

This here is just a lynch mob out to justify their hate.

perhaps Jammer, but I am not paying the salary of the lynch mob, nor does their job description include a vow to serve and protect.

But you're paying them your respect and agreement.

Speaking of lying....

speaking of lil guy

Blood for blood only creates anger which, as we see via the video and this thread, solves NOTHING.

I am in complete agreement Revelation_Machine. Excellent comment. See you after your customary punishment from the comment nazis.

Agreed but couldn't say it yourself.

yea so lets just hug these thugs into acting right............

jammer, ur a noob..........

only responding in kind will stop these pukes..........

Responding in kind is war. And if you wish to pull out of Afghanistan and yet precipitate a local war...that's hypocritical.

@ Jammer, not hypocritical at all to start fighting the true enemies of freedom for a change. It would be a move away from hypocritical actually. Hypocritical is shoving your "democracy" down unwilling throats, and "freeing" iraq by building prisons there and executing the masses including the cute puppies, which were viciously hurled off of cliffs by future cops.

A war is a war and death is death....whether or not it's someone you like or hated.

Emotional ties do not make something better in reality....only in your reality.

Right on revelation_machine.

All cops are bad. There is no such thing as a good cop. Those that think they know good cops should ask them if they would turn in a dirty cop. Chances are real good they wouldnt. That makes them as bad or worse then the pigs they are protecting.

Fuck each and every piece of shit that wears a badge. One day they will be targets. I hope they shine those badges up real nice. It makes them easier to see through the scope.

Nah. The moment an article with a positive cop story becomes popular....you'll know you're not on Current.

if there is something you can *say* to a police officer to make him beat you while you are helpless, instead of take you into custody, that officer has the problem and it needs to be investigated. self control is a requirement for people with weapons.

Then that person that made the comment needs self control as well.

@ sankofa416,
Well put. :)

I think J_Hammer defines "self control" as a cop shoving a plunger up your ass. How much self control do you have J_Hammer? How's it feel?

Compared to you? A lot.

vnprado its the fact that this 16 year old kid, who was already injured when the police showed up, was tasered 19 times.

the police kept him from being treated and most likely exacerbated his injuries what with tasering him 19 times. Which all eventually lead to the kids untimely death. Could he have been saved? Who the hell knows, I don know that if they had gotten him to a hospital sooner and had not tasered him at all then his chances would have been a lot better.

yeah but it's not lethal force so it's ok.

You would think him falling would have him stay put instead of trying to run into traffic.

I agree

and u respected the dead kid?

I didn't make a comment on whether or not I find it wrong because the video isn't very telling of anything. other than OMG look what they've done.

OMG I can't give an opinion on bias video that wants the cops to be the bad guy.

Give more story. Can't really feel sorry for someone that I don't know what they did right in this situation or wrong for that matter.

I don't fly by my emotions.

that's the thing Jammer, we only get so much of the story, and it doesn't always boil down nicely to who was right and who was wrong, but when one of the players has taken a vow to serve and protect, and when my tax dollars are paying that players salary, I have a right, as does anyone else, to have an opinion about that players job performance.

Opinions are different than hateful statements.

So no these are not opinions.

Obama's doing a good job steering that boat in that direction.

I've got a CopWatch training video and I save room on my cell phone memory for exactly this reason. you never know when a five minute video could save someone years of their life. Cops lie.

Liars lie. Humans in general lie.

Stating a cop lies isn't saying much...since that's a human trait. Stating bad cops lie is being more acute and less obtuse.

obtuse...you are talking about someone else being obtuse Jammer...are you kidding me?

That is not what I said....and you should be kidding me.

Let me amend my statement: Cops lie *in court*.

your right, we did create our own problem. by giving these thugs absolute credibility we created an atmosphere that is today...

your right...

tell that to Hitler's massacred Jews Jammer

Jews have nothing to do with this. Unless you're making some sort of stretch Armstrong attempt to connect police to Nazis.

JJ you have a very weird way about you. through the whole thread you preach to everyone else to think about what they are saying and to be fair and level headed and all this nonsense.
Then you pop off with this " I dont care" bullshit, this kid died because these stupid neglectful ass wipes couldn't subdue him, even though he was injured and immobilized, so they decided to taser him 19 times!!

These pigs are the sole reason this kid didnt get to the hospital for treatment sooner, not only that but I would say being tasered 19 times exacerbated his condition.

You need to grow up friendo and realize the truth about the world you live in, its not all sunshine and farts. There are assholes and idiots to be dealt with and your ignorant complacency towards these real world issues (cops who abuse their authority) does not help anyone.

Nor does it help to hate them all because you got pissed on by one.

I did.

And based on your presentation...I don't care.

LOL... are you 12? " I don't care" who said you had to? who asked you? NO ONE CARES what you think lil buddy! NO ONE...

Caring is posting.

Reasonable comment. Good job.

@hell0everything, You're right about that, not all cops are assholes, but the majority are. The sad thing about that? Is that they make the good cops look bad and you don't come across them often.

I lived in an urban (really ghetto) town of NJ and always saw how corrupt and abusive they were. Even though I eventually moved to a better area, I still had cops harass me, not because I was breaking the law or had a criminal record (which I don't) but because I was Latino and was driving around an uppity town... which was now my town.

It took about 5 yrs before the bullshit stopped and I started to know folks in the city and government for me to start the bullshit right back. I began questioning cops, any time they would be around, I would question a reason for them being there and get testy and become an asshole as well... why? because I had the same people they had... the politicians and judges behind me.

So, I'm sorry that you feel we are talking about all cops, but we are not. We are talking about the majority that abuse their power and show no remorse when doing something wrong. That's who we hate!!

"It's not fair of us to make such large blanket statements that ALL cops are assholes."

There are pre-requisites to becoming (and staying) a cop. You have to agree to harass people non stop for victimless crime, participate in what actually creates crime... (drug war). You have to maintain the code of silence just to keep your job. Your uncle will not be telling you about that now will he? Depending on your definition of "asshole" It is fair. Somebody who interferes with my inalienable right to live my life how I see fit is indeed an asshole. I'd say in my opinion, but it's not only my opinion, it's true. Yes they are big brown wrinkly asterisks with legs and badges.
