Chicago cop tasered unconscious diabetic 11 times

[Zona]

Police officers from two Chicago suburbs are being sued after one of them allegedly Tasered a man having a diabetic seizure because the diabetic involuntarily hit the officer while being taken to an ambulance.

Prospero Lassi, a 40-year-old employee of Southwest Airlines, filed the lawsuit (PDF) with a federal court in Chicago last week, following an April 9, 2009, incident in which Lassi was taken to hospital following a violent diabetic seizure -- and being Tasered 11 times while unconscious.

That's the Chicago Way...

First aid?
The lack of cheap easily accessible defibrillator devices is a serious problem .

So at this point, no one can defend the cops. Good. This is just crazy.

Sheesh! What were the EMTs doing while these two idiots were torturing their patient? They should have insisted on remaining in control of what was clearly a medical situation.

And you get all this from my comment that the media is not known for it's accuracy of reporting? Interesting. My conclusion from your conclusion is that you are, in fact, an idiot.

That's clear with every post. All my comment meant is that the media is not always accurate and we should not assume that what they report is correct. I made no comment on the actions of the officers.

She's just stupid.

I woulda tasered him at least 12 times.

Damn Southwest airlines lost my luggage once.

How can anyone defend tazering someone who is unconscious? If this is true that cop better face some discipline for it.

Why is it you immediately run to a head-in-the-sand like defense of 'this couldn't have happened our media must have gotten it wrong'?

 

[inquisitive]

It's a shame that nothing will be done to the cop!
