Park Life 71 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Americans are retarded. thats a VERY sweeping statement. most yanks i've met are actually quite polite and intelligent. maybe i've just met the nice ones... Even the polite and intelligent ones can be pretty stupid. We were walking back from a restaurant along the rue de Rivoli the other week with a very very senior colleague from NY. "Oh look" he exclaimed, pointing at the cobbled street, "they've made it look old". I excused him on accout of his boffin-ness. I'm dealing with an American at the moment, not sure why he needs to talk so loudly on the phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 11080 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Why are they obsessed with dental hygiene? I mean, sure, take care of your teeth, they're important. But you needn't talk about it. It's like cleaning.. down there. you should do it throroughly and frequently, but you shouldn't discuss techniques and products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazarus 0 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 (edited) http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/06/12/2596658.htm Queensland's Police Commissioner says officers may have tasered a north Queensland man up to three times before he died. The 39-year-old confronted police at a property at Brandon south of Townsville early this morning after allegedly arming himself with an iron bar and broken glass. He died shortly after being tasered by officers. Commissioner Atkinson says a post mortem examination of the man's body will be carried out in Townsville tomorrow, with a report to go to the state coroner. He says the Taser was used "at least on several occasions". "At least twice, possibly three times," he said. "And we believe that at least for the first two occasions it was used in what's called 'probe mode' ... where the darts are fired from the Taser." The Ethical Standards Command is investigating the circumstances surrounding the man's death. The Queensland Police Union (QPU) has defended the actions of the two officers at the scene. QPU president Ian Leavers says the man was extremely aggressive, was armed with an iron bar and broken glass, and had harmed himself. "Police were trying to protect this man, as well as detain him, as well as protect their own lives ... this man was self-harming as well," he said. "They did all they could to try and assist this man, to save him as much as they can. [They also] had to apprehend him because of his violent nature towards himself and the police." Commissioner Atkinson has defended the use of Tasers, which he says have been used more than 250 times since they were introduced in Queensland earlier this year. "From what I know of the matter ... it does not appear to me at all that we should stop the use of Tasers or stop the progression of the Taser roll-out," he said. Police Minister Neil Roberts says the Ethical Standards Command Unit is investigating and the Crime and Misconduct Commission (CMC) and the Coroner have been notified. Mr Roberts says the investigation into the man's death will examine whether the stun gun was used appropriately. "We need to allow the full investigation of all of those agencies to take place and they will be focusing, I'm sure, very critically on the appropriate use of the taser," he said. Police say their initial information suggests emergency calls were made to police and ambulance about 2.40am AEST. Police arrived at the scene about 10 minutes later. In a statement earlier today, police said a naked man was acting aggressively and destroying property at a residence at Brandon. "The 39-year-old man had allegedly assaulted another occupant of the residence and had damaged property and sustained cuts to his arm," the statement said. "It is believed that a Taser was deployed and that police managed to physically subdue the man. "However, before the ambulance could arrive at the scene the man stopped breathing." Police say efforts to resuscitate the man failed and the incident is being treated as a death in custody. Edited June 12, 2009 by Lazarus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair the majority of Yanks I know or have met, they're all right. But then, they tend to be the ones who've left America and in so doing distinguish themselves from 70% (that much vaunted stat that may or may not be groudned in reality) of their countrymen. I should have said around 70% of americans are retards, I'm sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitman 2207 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I wholeheartedly agree with the police officer. Anybody over the age of 70 should be tasered without mercy. Never mind resisting arrest, they should be tasered wherever they form an obstruction to normal citizens going about their business - in a queue, in the shops, at the doctor's, in the street, starting an unsolicited chat. Or if they're boring you. All adults between the ages of 18 and 70 should be issued with tasers and authorised to perform a 'Citizen's Taser' whenever the siutation warranted it and even if it doesn't. The lives of productive men and women would be greatly improved and it would be fun too. 70 year olds valuable to society could apply for a special card to wear around their necks to exempt them from peremptory justice. The rest of the time wasting scrounging old bastards would have to take their chances going about their business. I think this should be considered. We could also include MPs and town councillors who would be required to wear targets on their front and back for easy identification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
