Contempt of Cop

[Stooo]

Thanks to police officer Enoch Clark, Beaumont, California resident Monique Hernandez will never see her ten-year-old daughter again.

On February 21, Clark conducted a traffic stop involving Hernandez, who was suspected of drunk driving. When Clark attempted to handcuff her, Hernandez resisted. The officer responded by using a JPX device -- a weapon that uses a gunpowder charge to fire a stream of pepper spray at roughly 400 miles an hour.

The JPX weapon is designed for use at a distance of 6 to 15 feet, and training presentations depict it being deployed against aggressive, armed assailants. Promotional literature for the JPX weapon -- which isn't categorized as a firearm, because it doesn't fire a projectile -- boasts of "devastating stopping power." The payload of weaponized OC spray is propelled over the prescribed distance at less than three one-hundredths of a second, making it "too fast to avoid.... The effect is immediate; there is no chance to resist."

Clark's attorney insists that the officer's attack was justified in order "to gain compliance and in defense of his person." The JPX is designed to incapacitate an aggressor at a distance. Clark -- who was armed and wearing body armor -- fired it into Hernandez's temple from a distance of roughly ten inches, blowing apart her right eye and leaving the left with severe, irreparable damage.

Why not just call for backup instead of blowing someone's eyes out of their face?

Never even heard of these let alone shot one, but whats the first thing I find on the net about them.............This.

Anyone who had undergone rudimentary training with the JPX would understand that the weapon should not be fired directly into the head or face of a non-violent suspect. Clark's actions suggest that his intention was not to gain "compliance," but rather to inflict summary street punishment for "contempt of cop."

Pretty much sums it up.

Hernandez was taken to the hospital and never charged. Following an investigation by the Riverside County Sherriff's office, a grand jury indicted Clark on four felony charges: Assault under color of authority, assault with a less lethal weapon, use of force causing severe bodily injury, and assault with force likely to cause severe bodily injury. Free on $50,000 bail, Clark faces up to 20 years in prison. At present, the officer -- who is chairman of the local police union -- was placed on administrative leave, which is to say that he was given a paid vacation.

Cops don't do real well in prison. Hope he enjoys his stay.

On the other hand, one must remember it is much better to do what they say, and then see them in court. I learned that the hard way.

A 20-year-old woman has been left brain dead - after she was Tasered by police and smacked her head on the ground.
Danielle Maudsley had been taken to a Florida Highway Patrol Station after being arrested for a suspected hit-and-run in September. Handcuffed, she ran out of the door.

But as footage from a police cruiser dashboard camera reveals, Trooper Daniel Cole, who this week was cleared of any wrongdoing, fired a Taser's electric probes into her back.

She spun, fell backwards and hit her head on the ground. Bleeding and crying she tried to get up. She then blacked out and has remained unconscious ever since.

Doctors say Danielle, who was found to have cocaine and oxycodone in her system at the time, is unlikely to ever wake up.

Her mother Cheryl has slammed the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles and Florida Department of Law Enforcement for its reports that both cleared Cole.

She was handcuffed and within reaching distance of the Cop... he decided to just taser her instead. Now she is brain damaged and may never awake.

Don't run. They will taze you, tackle you or smack you with their baton. Any of those actions can mess you up. Pepper spray in the face is not real pleasant either. Neither are the numb fingers for two weeks when they put the cuffs on as tight as they can.

Woman 7-months pregnant tasered 3 time by cops over a speeding ticket

The case involves Malaika Brooks, who was seven months pregnant and driving her 11-year-old son to school in Seattle when she was pulled over for speeding. The police say she was going 32 miles per hour in a school zone; the speed limit was 20.

Ms. Brooks said she would accept a ticket but drew the line at signing it, which state law required at the time. Ms. Brooks thought, wrongly, that signing was an acknowledgment of guilt.

Refusing to sign was a crime, and the two officers on the scene summoned a sergeant, who instructed them to arrest Ms. Brooks. She would not get out of her car.

The situation plainly called for bold action, and Officer Juan M. Ornelas met the challenge by brandishing a Taser and asking Ms. Brooks if she knew what it was.

She did not, but she told Officer Ornelas what she did know. “I have to go to the bathroom,” she said. “I am pregnant. I’m less than 60 days from having my baby.”

The three men assessed the situation and conferred. “Well, don’t do it in her stomach,” one said. “Do it in her thigh.”

Officer Ornelas twisted Ms. Brooks’s arm behind her back. A colleague, Officer Donald M. Jones, applied the Taser to Ms. Brooks’s left thigh, causing her to cry out and honk the car’s horn. A half-minute later, Officer Jones applied the Taser again, now to Ms. Brooks’s left arm. He waited six seconds before pressing it into her neck.

Ms. Brooks fell over, and the officers dragged her into the street, laying her face down and cuffing her hands behind her back

Tickets always say quite clearly, that signing it is not an admission of guilt. I have got a shitload of tickets over the years and the cops always tell you that it's not an admission of guilt, but a promise to appear in court. This woman was an idiot for acting this way in front of her child. She forced the cops to arrest her, in front of her child. Taser or not, it was going to be a physical confrontation to get her out of that car. No need to act like that in front of her kid.

Cops could have handled it completely fucking differently... y'know with a bit more sense, she was 7 months pregnant, would you manhandle someone in that condition? for what? a speeding ticket. Couldnt they have just taken her detail and mailed a summons? What if she had lost the kid (thankfully she didnt) because of the way they tasered the shit out of her, before dragging her about? would she have deserved to have her child 'miscarriaged by cop' in your eyes (like the woman who was kicked in stomach by a cop when 9 months pregnant nearly did**)

The ticket is the summons. She (and everyone else) has choices. Sign the ticket or go to jail. She is obviously a pretty shitty mother. Most people with a child in the car, and one on the way, would never be so stupid as to force cops to remove her from the car and take her to jail. What pregnant woman wants to go to jail over signing a damn ticket. Ever been to jail? They are dirty nasty places. Not a place where a sane pregnant woman would want to be, especially if all she had to do was sign the ticket.
