Cop tazers, then pulls a Toxic avenger on some kid on a bike

[angelpalm]

If you haven’t seen the first Toxic avenger go check it out, its hilarious.

There is a call to ban tasers in Pensacola after a series of injuries and fatalities linked to the use of the weapons. In one of the most controversial cases, Victor Steen, 17, died after being first tasered by an officer and then run over by his cruiser. For the video, click here. A judge has ruled, however, that the officer responsible committed no crime in the death of Steen.

Officer Jerald Ard spotted the teen is a vacant construction site and ordered him to stop. When the teen took off on his bike, the officer pursued him and fired a taser at Steen through his car window in 2009. He then ran over the boy with his cruiser ? killing him.

Here are excerpts from Ard?s disciplinary report. The report includes the following finding:

After reviewing the video evidence in this incident, I believe that the pursuit did expose the subject to unreasonable risk of harm or injury. At times in the pursuit, Officer Ard drove his cruiser so close to the suspect?s bike that it would have been difficult if not impossible for him to stop if the suspect fell from the bike. I also found it disturbing that Officer Ard attempted to tase the suspect on a bike as he rode next to him. If this action would have been successful, it is very possible that the suspect would have sustained serious injuries from the fall.

The teen was the fourth person who died in Florida in 2009 and the 57th such death since 2001. St. Petersburg was cited by Amnesty International as a city with the highest fatalities in the nation from such tasers.

The family is now filing a lawsuit in the matter.

Not sure if there was any head crushing but this video below clearly shows the kid getting ran over, it’s not graphic but if you use your imagination.

I love how people are saying that the taser was the problem, not just that the cop was a moron.

But not surprisingly, the cop gets away with it. Police Unions at work, ladies and gentlemen.

Yeah, you would think that they would be more concerned with the fact that he was killed by being runover with a car.

The cop would’ve deserved a promotion if he just stuck his club into his spokes.

Or opened the door and slapped the mofo off. That would’ve been funny as hell.

[thurst]

…are you fucking serious?

surprised he didn’t sprinkle some crack on him for good measure. how do you justify driving on the curb chasing a kid on a bike for what would’ve amounted to trespassing? and then possibly (likely?) planting a gun on him…fucking christ.

The judge is a bonehead. Of course the officer did nothing wrong he was just chasing a nigga who he probably assumed was a 2 time loser running away from a 3rd strike. :rolleyes:

Those cops knew they were overreacting as usual. You see a black kid on a bike at night and he must be up to no good. Fine tazer him, run him over and kill him cause you know you want to but plant a gun on him? Come on, adding insult to death. But according to the judge, no crime was committed by the cops.

Pensacola is dumb. Tazors are the best thing ever. They are the single most effect tool while still having the least possibility of long term harming somenone.

Sure they can hurt someone, but they are designed to neutralize, not to harm. PLus if things do go wrong, the Tazor is blammed, not the officer. So it is much safer/ smarter for the officer. Imagine if the officer just shot him or beat him with a club. Would they then just review Clubbing policy? lol no

How else was this cop suppose to neutralize this guy? Shoot em? Ram into him? Let him go free?

too bad he got ran over though.

He would have been alive had he not run away…

Nowadays police scare me because of their stupidity. Dashboard camera on a police car is great for evidence of what going on during a situation but it is limited. If I have it my way a small camera would be strap to each police officer so if shady situation go down we the public can see what really happen up front.

That would constitute a perfect world my friend which we are far from.

What I think is more fucked up is the fact that this is ALL ON TAPE (Obviously not clear enough to see the gun).

Secondly, it’s 2010 and thats the best camera quality we can get on a fucking cruiser?

Finally, the gun was wiped clean of any prints, and that doesn’t raise any questions???

[LimeGreenPatato]

he probably deserved it

That would be entirely possible, if the police unions would let it happen. They will not.

Do some cops forget that they have cameras on their tasers and cars?

why would they care? there are hundreds of videos of US cops assaulting people and getting away with it
