Michigan police taser newlyweds during wedding reception

Sounds like it was a hell of a party.

Just think of the money people could on holding jailhouse themed weddings in Vegas, by just visiting Michigan. I mean to get tasered in Vegas it costs extra, Michigan just throws it right in for free!

Damn that terrible! Angry cop on a power trip.

Cops need to chill out with their tasers! Too many incidents have been happening lately with abusing the taser and using it irresponsibly.

Hmm, broken glasses and spilled drinks.Sounds like any other wedding I've been to.

Rape these Police officers while Tasing them.

I think there are too many of these cases..

Between June 2001 and June 2007, there were at least 245 cases of deaths of subjects soon after having been shocked using Tasers.[47] Of these cases:

In 7 cases, medical examiners said Tasers were a cause or a contributing factor or could not be ruled out as a cause of death.
In 16 cases coroners and other officials stated that a Taser was a secondary or contributory factor of death.
In dozens of cases, coroners cited excited delirium as cause of death. Excited delirium has been questioned as a medical diagnosis.[48]
Several deaths occurred as a result of injuries sustained in struggles. In a few of these cases head injury due to falling after being shocked contributed to later death. Some police departments, like that of Clearwater, Florida, have tried to eradicate such incidents by prohibiting taser use when the suspect is in danger of falling.[49]
In 2005, a medical examiner ruled for the first time that a Taser was the primary factor in a death.[50]

Several incidents have received publicity:

July 2005, UK. Police Tasered a man in hypoglycemic shock, believing that he was a potential security threat.[51]
April 2006, USA. A 56 year old, wheelchair bound woman dies after ten Taser shocks, death ruled homicide.[52]
October 2006, USA. A 17 year old boy died after being repeatedly Tasered by police.[53]
November 2006, USA. UCLA Taser incident
September 2007, USA. University of Florida Taser incident
October 2007, Canada. Robert Dziekański Taser incident
November 2007, Canada. Howard Hyde incident.[54]
November 2007, USA. Christian Allen incident.[55]
December 2007, Canada. Quilem Registre Taser incident
April 24, 2008, USA. Kevin Piskura died after being stunned by a X-26 Taser for 10 seconds while interfering with a friend's arrest by Police in Oxford, Ohio. He was hospitalized after the confrontation and died five days later. Video and audio of the event was recorded by the X-26's mounted camera. [56]

Seems like cops everywhere are just tasering people for the heck of it. Kinda anoying now but still better than killing.

But those people swore at the police.
At least they did'nt kill them like that other guy.
And the hall was paid for I see law suits coming
for the police and the club owners you have to expect some broken glasses and other minor problems.
I hope they win millions for ruining the once in a lifetime event.

and yet again our boys in blue have made an ass out of themselves

So I guess tasering is the new thin in police brutality. I forsee more of these events and with greater frequency to come.

A little diplomacy probably would have gone a long way on both sides, though it sounds like the wedding party was trying... too many itchy taser fingers out there. Maybe it's time to review and improve on some taser legislation...imagine the stories they tell in the locker room...

They have moved from macing people to tazing people.

The way it looks, cops can taser you if you stick your tongue out at them. If they perceive it as a threat, you're fried chicken
. I'm laying down in the prone position the next time a cop shows up to any kind of function I am at (not that it happens a lot, LOL) . And I guess I should always have my camera on me, too.

This is gettin' scary.

These people rely on crime and shit to happen to keep their jobs. They need to lay off them action movies. Fuck cops!

How crazy does the tazing have to get? Cops tase a 4yo girl for refusing to answer a direct question. Sorry, make that 8 cops.

Weddings are supposed to have drunk people!

Glasses are supposed to break!
Drinks are supposed to spill!

Thank god this wasn't a Greek wedding.

The United Police State of America.

I'm waiting to hear this one:

"Police Officers Taser a Pregnant Woman."

"Her unborn child kicked me, it was self defense."

You may now taser the bride

What's up with cops and taser abuse lately?

The police in America are supposed to be there to protect and serve and I stress supposed. There are many instances in which the police are not trained and a simple incident quickly gets out of control. There are also police that need to be reigned in, but like everything else there are good cops and bad cops, just hope you get a good one.many of them have no respect for human beings and human rights or the law. It's a tough call and I would not want the job of ruining peoples days and sometimes lives for some things that we all do sometimes. I don't mean rape or murder or serious crime I mean simple things like getting a little drunk or a little high from time to time most people do that. Simple things can spiral out of control if not handled in professional manner by trained and experienced people.

I gotta say 14 police agencies? These people need to get a job for sure. Maybe there should be an investigation and maybe a lawsuit or two.

Ahh what is going on with all this tasering!? What ever happened to nightsticks? Oh and spilled drinks and broken glasses sounds like a crazy time. Of course the bride and groom are going to be pissed when a bunch of cops show up to their wedding reception! You can't just re-do your wedding reception!

Cops love tasers because they make them feel big and powerful, but the truth is they are beat cops. They are one step above working a school cross walk.

For a sec I thought this was a Reno 911 script.
