Hannity defends repeated Tasering of senior citizen: He's 'alive enough to file a lawsuit'

Two articles:

"He's Alive Enough To Sue" (with video)

These are people who will fight to the death against the federal government's right levy taxes to pay for roads and bridges yet have no problem with armed police bursting into your home without a warrant, announcing they are checking you into a hospital against your will and then shooting you repeatedly with electricity when you refuse. I think it clears up just what "liberty" means to these people, don't you?

This Could Be You (with video)

The police entered his home without a warrant or permission and told him they were forcibly taking him to a hospital (presumably because the paramedics had reported the comment) then shot him repeatedly full of electricity when he failed to comply, even after his wife told them he had a heart condition. He broke no law, appeared fully in control, was sitting on his couch talking to the officers. That's something out of an East German nightmare circa 1954.

But I guess you can see why the cops all over the country are saying their privacy rights are being violated by videos of their activities. It really hurts the ball team when stuff like this comes out.

Just watch the video. You'll especially enjoy the part where they taser him repeatedly while he's screaming and writhing in pain on the ground, as they tell him to "stop resisting."

Maybe Hannity can volunteer to be tasered to show that it's not so bad -- you know like he did with water-boarding. Oh, wait, he never followed through with that. Oh, well, keep talkin' the talk, Sean.

I thought that tasering was the new GOBP, Party of No requirement to collect Social Security.

Leave it to Hannity, to go the wrong way with this story, if it would have been him, it would have been prime time news, and he would have screamed this is what is wrong with Obamas America, and why the republicans need to take it back over, in this government intervention, of are rights, to storm in to your own property, with no warrant, and piratically kill a person for no reason.

Your right on Head-Negro,and then to taser him, three times on top of everything else, is unbelievable

And when you consider that the poor guy's resistance to being taken to the hospital stemmed from his inability to afford health care ... how much more outrageous can the police response get? I hope he ends up getting a settlement that will at least temporarily allay his worries about medical bills.
