    Tasers dont always work

    Chew on this ya liberal bastards! Give our coppers guns!

    TUALATIN, Ore. (AP) - A Washington County sheriff's deputy shot and killed a man who broke into a woman's apartment Sunday morning, the second fatal shooting involving the sheriff's office in just over a month.

    Authorities say the deputy fired after Taser shocks and bean-bag rounds failed to slow the intruder and the man tried to reach inside a patrol car for a weapon.

    A Sheriff's Spokesman says the incident started when a woman awoke to find the intruder standing by her bed.

    She screamed, grabbed her cell phone and ran into her young daughter's bedroom.

    The man followed her into the room and began attacking her, but she reportedly fought back and was able to phone 911 and avoid serious injury.

    The woman says her daughter, 8, joined in the battle by repeatedly punching the intruder in the face.

    She says action by her daughter allowed her to get the upper hand in the attack and that at one point she had her hands around the man's neck and was strangling him.

    She was also able to get a knife from her kitchen.

    The suspect, identified as Jordan Laird Case, 19,eventually left the home where he was confronted by police, who used high-voltage stun weapons and less-lethal beanbag rounds to no effect.

    When Case reached inside a police car to get a shotgun, the officer opened fire, hitting Case multiple times. Case died at the scene.

    Case was identified by a citizen who saw the drawing of a tattoo that was released Monday.

    No further details about Mr. Case are available at this time. His next of kin have been notified.

    So a woman and her 8 year old daughter managed to shake off the offender with their bare hands, but a deputy needed to shoot him dead to prevent him getting access to the deputy's own shotgun ?

    So if the police hadn't carried lethal weapons he wouldn't have had access to lethal weapons.

    But it's in the USA where more people are shot dead each day than in Iraq so he's just another stat.

    Aha, so it's Lias that's the "strong force" that is pressuring the commissioner to arm our cops if the taser trials don't work!

    I will refrain from commenting on the commissioners comments.

    Nope I'm not the strong force sorry mate lol

    It wouldnt eliminate violent crime, but I do think cops carrying guns 24/7 would certainly reduce it.. Its not like the crims dont carry guns at it is.

    MAHAHAA! Irony, oh so sweet. I wonder if the cops were reprimanded for being incompetent, or commended for erasing a bad guy?

    Guns dont make for better or safer police. It just makes for better armed criminals.

    And at present the fact that Arms are freely available and rampant in the criminal underworld.........but somehow certain cops having easier access to pistols is going to lead to a huge increase in firearms coming in to the country and into the criminals hands?!

    Half the reason America is fucked is their very liberal weapons laws, which we don't have.... but hey better not base an argument on evidence.....

    I know I wouldn't want to be patrolling South Auckland with all the lawless fucks down that way without a bit of back up on my hip/thigh.

    Like it is just soooooo safe now? and getting better?

    I say remove Tasers, Glocks, Bushmasters, pepperspray and batons from the Police, that way the criminals will feel less threatened and safer and will stop carrying weapons and then we'll ALL by safe.

    Want to justify that statement with some reason or Logic?


    Situation 1.

    Your average 18-25 years old polynesian or Maori about 180cm tall large build wearing a dark hoodie and balaclava is roaming around the streets high on P wielding a semi auto shot gun looking for a rival gang member in suburban where ever.

    Do you suppose the police laugh him to submission with a well aimed joke? Or just leave him wondering about armed and dangerous until he finds what he thinks is his target on his P soaked mind?

    How many of the 16 (or whatever number it is) of Taser "presentations" so far here have been against P crazed shot gun toting gang members? Or similar?
