Police and Government Violence.

451 TASER DEATHS AND CLIMBING.http://www.facebook.com/patrick.crothers1?v=wall&story_fbid=114153528642536#!/patrick.crothers1?v=wall

This is a re-post with a little new information. 

I was at "Peoples Park" in Berkley April 1969 when 30,000 people came to hear a speech.  They were mostly Berkley residence very young and old and students.  800 police at the behest of Ronald Reagan Governor led by the Alameda Sheriffs dept. using 00 buckshot and were told to inflict as much damage as possible.  he authorities initially claimed that only bird-shot had been used as shotgun ammunition. When physicians provided "00" pellets removed from the wounded as evidence that buckshot had been used, Sheriff Frank Madigan of Alameda County justified the use of shotguns loaded with lethal buckshot by stating "... the choice was essentially this: to use shotguns — because we didn't have the available manpower — or retreat and abandon the City of Berkeley to the mob." Sheriff Madigan did admit, however, that some of his deputies (many of whom were Vietnam War veterans) had been overly aggressive in their pursuit of the protesters, "as though they were Viet Cong."
Hundreds were severely injuries, one shotgun death from repeated shot to the chest groin and face.  People were blinded and the Sheriff told his men to use deadly force and to inflict punishment like the people were Viet Kong.  Being mostly War vets they did.

Four days later 4 students were shot and killed at Kent State by the National Guard and that was the turning point in the War as parents starting paying attention and the beginnings of the end of police brutality.  WE ARE NOT THERE YET.

I got beaten by the L. A. County Sheriff four times.  Once I was arrested for armed robbery on my way home from work as the store clerk ID my Bothers custom 56 Chevy Two Door Hardtop.  There was not another like it as Johnny and I put thousands into the car including a custom paint Job by Barras.

I worked for General Telephone as a cable splicer and they could no locate my boss until Monday (Sober up day)  I was thrown down a flight of stairs and then the threw a bucket of water on the stairs and had a photographer take a picture of where I slipped...LOL

AS OF LAST MONDAY THERE HAVE BEEN 450 DEATHS FROM TASERS.  THEY ARE NOT NON-LETHAL.  IF THEY ARE TO BE ALLOWED THEY CAN'T BE GIVEN TO ANYONE WHO WEARS A SMOKEY THE BEAR HAT.

LAST DEATH 87 YEAR OLD WOMAN IN WASHINGTON STATE.  STAY TUNED AND TAKE PHOTOS OR VIDEOS OF POLICE AS MUCH AS YOU CAN.  WE CAN SORT OUT THE BAD ONES.
THEIR MOTTO:  TO PROTECT AND SERVE,   

THE BYRDS I WILL FEEL A WHOLE LOT BETTER WHEN YOU ARE GONE.
