Man glaubt es nicht....................

[Hollowpoint]

Saudumme US-Polizistin will Bad Guy, den sie schon festgenommen und mit Handschellen gefesselt hatte noch zusätzlich mit ihrem Taser "ruhigstellen", de er zunehmend renitent wurde.

Das hirnlose Wesen zog jedoch "versehentlich" ihre Dienstpistole und erschoß den Verdächtigen.

Danach verklagt sie den Hersteller der Taser, weil dieser angeblich die Polizisten nicht ausreichend im Umgang mit den Ding geschult hätte.

UNGLAUBLICH!!!

Nicht nur in England grassiert der Wahn................

When a Madera police officer drew her handgun instead of a nonlethal Taser and killed a suspect last year, it wasn't the first time law enforcement had mistakenly fired bullets instead of an electronic charge.

Twice before -- including a month before the Madera shooting -- officers in other U.S. cities had drawn their guns instead of the Taser device and wounded suspects.

As a result, the city of Madera and police officer Marcy Noriega have filed a lawsuit against Taser International Inc., manufacturer of the electronic device, and blame the company's training procedures for part of the problem.

Noriega shot Everardo Torres, 24, on Oct. 27, 2002, as he sat handcuffed in the back of a police cruiser following his arrest on suspicion of resisting and delaying police as they tried to quell a loud party at Madera Villa Apartments on North Schnoor Avenue.

Noriega told investigators she intended to stun Torres with her Taser because he had been kicking at the car's window, but she accidentally drew and fired her service weapon.

The District Attorney's Office concluded that the shooting was accidental; no criminal charges were filed against Noriega.

The city and Noriega are suing Taser, alleging that similar shootings occurred in Sacramento in April 2001 and in Rochester, Minn., in September 2002.

In both of the other cases, the suspects, one shot in the buttocks and the other in the back, survived.

The Taser shoots an electric charge that overrides the central nervous system and contracts muscles.

This momentarily incapacitates a person without causing permanent injury.

Bruce D. Praet, a Santa Ana lawyer who is representing Madera and Noriega, said in a telephone interview that officers no longer carry their handgun and Taser on the same side -- something that contributed to the Torres shooting.

"Once we found the two other incidents, we made the change," Praet said.

The lawsuit charges that the company "provided related training and representations in such a manner so as to cause any reasonable police officer to mistakenly draw and fire a handgun instead of the Taser device."

The company had "a duty" to provide notice of the risks involved and that it was aware its training methods were flawed, according to the complaint.

Aneta Dubow, one of the Los Angeles lawyers representing Taser, said the company would have no immediate comment on the lawsuit. She said she is not aware of any similar complaints filed anywhere in the country over the use of the device.

The city's lawsuit was first filed in Superior Court in Madera, but lawyers for Taser International moved the case to U.S. District Court and asked that a federal judge hear the case because the company is based in Scottsdale, Ariz.

The Torres family filed a federal wrongful death complaint against Madera and Noriega after the city rejected a $10 million claim.

In the lawsuit against Taser, Madera and Noriega contend that they "were only partially responsible for the loss" alleged in the Torres lawsuit and that if they are held liable for any of the claims, Taser should have to reimburse them for damages.

Torres died from a bullet to the heart and liver that also pierced his right kidney, an autopsy revealed.

Much of the family's lawsuit against the city and Noriega focuses on the department's use of Tasers and its use of force.

The city of Madera reportedly has admitted its liability in the shooting and in December offered the Torres family a $350,000 settlement. Praet said the family declined the settlement.

In the meantime, Praet said the city has filed motions to have a portion of the family's lawsuit, which claims federal civil-rights violations, dismissed. "As tragic as it is," Praet said of the shooting, "it does not rise to a civil-rights violation."
