Internal Affairs are investigating witness reports that Merced police twice Tasered a 40 year-old double-amputee because he had a "big mouth". Initial charges against him were dropped, so how much resistance could he have put up? Talk about overkill

Because he had a big mouth, I would have tasered the guy regardless of his disability if he was gobbing off.

I don't agree with the tasering, but it's a lesson to be learnt.

This wouldn't of made the blog if a full walking guy got tazered.

Wheelchair or no wheelchair, they get treated the same. (That's what handicapped people want, yes?)

Exactly, they don't want to be treated differently due to a handicap... Sometimes they don't appreciate being offered help, they are rude people.
