This whole incident is all sorts of fail and can easily be broken down as an officer was quick to resort to his taser without using his brain. Then after screwing the pooch on that front they doubled down on stupid.
Basically these officers played the game of CYA and ended up violating more laws because of it. There’s a reason the prosecutor didn’t file charges, no jury in the world would convict. Further she probably saw the civil suit writing on the wall. This ends up in the full count because of the following:
There is no doubt that the Tacoma Police will not be punishing the officers involved and will do nothing to mediate or resolve the situation they have created. This is a textbook case of the state sponsoring its own criminals.

Because you immediately jump to the taser when you know there is a deaf woman involved. Further, after finding out you tasered an innocent, you charge her with a crime and hold her against the law without an interpreter or informing your supervisor she’s deaf. Because the police don’t have to follow the law, they are the law.
The real outrage in this is that two elected officials threatened the president under color of law for expressing his views. That’s what you should be mad about. I’ll continue my boycott of Chicago and MA.
[The other day Popehat posted a link on twitter and I had the urge to comment but let it subside. My main contention with the linked content was this though:
At which point he goes into a list of places that have been boycotted for their views one way or another. I have to disagree and here’s why.
I, like most American’s, only become involved when I feel that something affects me. I didn’t see the LGBT community come and participate with the Starbucks buycott for example. I’m sure there was overlap as I know that Gay Cynic probably participated but as a whole the groups are not tied together at the hip. I would in general do my best to support someone, but I will not expend energy in going out of my way as I will with places who forbid concealed carry for example.
What has happened here is that a large number of people are supporting Chick-Fil-A, not because of the owners stance on Gay marriage. That is an entirely separate debate and my position can be summed thusly:
The state has no business being involved in marriage. As for the legal rights provided by marriage between partners, who cares if they’re both male or female. Everyone deserves the same legal rights and it is no one’s business to judge anyone else for their choices.
Moving on though this situation was aggravated by two political individuals. Namely the mayors of Chicago and Boston. These two individuals attempted to use the force of state to punish a company and its owner for voicing their opinion. While I disagree with that opinion, they had every right to say it without the threat or use of force from government. That is the problem, these politicians were using government to silence speech. It wasn’t a separate part of the public attempting to shame the company for their opinion, it was the state. The fact that they were using government to influence or control speech is a blatant violation of the first amendment and is worthy of note because what is to stop either of them saying I cannot conduct business because of my outspoken support of the second amendment? It doesn’t have to even be about the second amendment though, it could be anything they disagree with.
I am by no means the only one with this view as well. This is very much a free speech issue because the state should not be allowed to disallow businesses from operation based on the opinions and speech of their owners or employees.
I live in Washington and there is no Chick-Fil-A out here. Overall I probably wouldn’t go if there was, but given the behavior of a few tyrannical politician’s I would give patronage just to show my support. That’s exactly what those politicians did by doing that. They drove people to patronize that business merely because the government was intimidating them. -B]
So, this is actually a kind of old incident but given new information I feel like classifying it as a state sponsored criminal. Who is this criminal, Major Nidal Hasan, the man animal responsible for the Fort Hood shooting.
Since I’m sure most of you are familiar with the shooting I won’t reiterate details. What is interesting is the following:
So let me get this straight, you ignored him and let him walk on by because of Political Correctness. Did I understand that right there sparky? Here’s the thing, you guys are more than happy to brew up your own terrorist cells, arm them, and then use the material to scare the public. If you don’t understand what I’m talking about, watch this, I don’t feel like digging up every associate link.
As horrible as this sounds, and it is purely conjecture, what’s to say you all didn’t just look the other way to increase panic and fear, thus causing the American people to want to surrender more freedom and liberty thus giving you more power. Seriously, someone explain to me how this could be allowed to pass purely under the guise of “Political Correctness?”
At best this was negligence, except this had to be willful. People knowingly did nothing and the worst part of it all is the man still hasn’t be tried and many are still claiming this was not an act of terrorism. Evidently the DHS has now released a new requirement that to qualify as a terrorist you must be a white Caucasian male, since you know they run in screaming “Allah Akbar” while shooting at every Christian in the joint.
Seriously, how is it the American public can allow the government and American media to look the other way and play down exactly what happened that day? How is the American people can believe this was anything but an act of terrorism. I know many don’t, but they sit idly by and do nothing while this administration plays the PC game to get this terrorist off the hook. All the while the DHS redefines terrorist’s so broadly myself along with many others fit the description with not a stretch of their definition which doesn’t even relate to the actual definition of terrorist and terrorism. Yet a man who obviously committed an act of terrorism and had ties to known terrorists under the traditional definition was just suffering PTSD. Doesn’t that just seem a little wrong?
The reason this happened is obvious, the state willfully allowed it to happen for political capital. He was a state sponsored terrorist that they allowed to complete his plan to reign terror on American soil. Every person associated with allowing him to walk free should be hung for treason along with him. Someone should have blown the whistle, even if it meant the end of your career. Just because it hurts, doesn’t mean it isn’t the right thing to do.
I hate sounding like a conspiracy theorist, but seriously this is just too damn stupid. The long complicated plot is trying to believe that political correctness allowed this to happen as opposed to people willfully looking the other way in an effort to gain more power.
State Sponsored Criminal and Terrorist 277: Major Nidal Hasan
Because real terrorism isn’t terrorism, it’s the result of PTSD, and all those libertarians that just want the nanny state to leave them the hell alone, they’re the real terrorists.
See, they knew it wasn’t harassment but well, given 3 felonies a day they can up root your life to dig up anything. When we say dig up, I also mean twisting the facts to make you guilty of crimes you didn’t commit.
If there was ever a clue that something was wrong with our government and legal system, this is a shining example.

Because if you’re an environmentalist wacko, get a job with the feds, then you can destroy anyone who does something you disagree with with the power, weight, and force of government behind you.
Commandeered by one of his drivers, who was secretly working with federal agents, the truck had been hauling marijuana from the border as part of an undercover operation. And without Patty’s knowledge, the Drug Enforcement Administration was paying his driver, Lawrence Chapa, to use the truck to bust traffickers.
At least 17 hours before that early morning phone call, Chapa was shot dead in front of more than a dozen law enforcement officers – all of them taken by surprise by hijackers trying to steal the red Kenworth T600 truck and its load of pot.
In the confusion of the attack in northwest Harris County, compounded by officers in the operation not all knowing each other, a Houston policeman shot and wounded a Harris County sheriff’s deputy.
As expected though the DEA is refusing to accept responsibility for the damages to his truck. This however is unsurprising since I’m sure Obama would claim this man wasn’t building a business, someone else was. Now for those who claim that his insurance should cover the costs:
So basically what happened here is the DEA shifted the costs and risks for their idiocy onto a small business man and when it went south they left him with the bill.

Because when fighting the war on drugs, collateral damage is inconsequential.
Really?! Blocking the accessibility of formula to new mothers? For some women, they are not able to produce milk with their pregnancy. Some, even though they are producing, aren’t producing enough colostrum and therefore are starving their child. I wonder if they will charge the mother with child abuse if the pharmacy is closed and the baby wants to feed?
Legislative fiat and nanny statism does not change biology or the way the real world works.
Women don’t need a lecture about choosing formula over breast-feeding. Breast is not always best. Especially since not every mother produces enough milk. My husband was raised on formula because his mother was unable to produce milk as he was born by C-section. A friend of mine didn’t produce milk for her child and didn’t realize it until she had starved her child for a day not knowing she wasn’t producing enough milk.
Some asshat politician who doesn’t understand biology or the medical sciences has no business telling me, my doctor, or any one else what is best for me or my child.
This is one big reason why I don’t want to be in a hospital when I have kids. I don’t need some moron telling me what to do with my own body!
If you’re female and work in his office, do the rest of us of the female gender a big favor and kick him right between the uprights. Then again I’m reasonably sure he’s lacking functional equipment down there which is why he’s spouting off about shit he doesn’t know about.
Yeah, that right there isn’t too bright. You would have thought he would have at least known to avoid the area. Then again he probably felt safe since it was just his buddies in the area.
If all else fails though I’m sure he will probably transfer to IMPD.
State Sponsored Criminal #374: Officer Matthew Gaines
Because drinking and driving is acceptable when you’re an officer of the law.
That’s bad, but what’s really bad is the fact he retired with one hell of a pension. Nothing like having the people continue paying for the resource wasting moron well after the fact.
State Sponsored Criminal #373: Captain Anthony Paventi
Because since the hard-working people are already paying for those too lazy to work, we need to pay for officers who got laid while on the job to make more doing nothing than most while doing something.
