A victim of a hit a run accident who was severely injured is suing the Blue Island Police Department near Chicago because a Blue Island cop tasered him. Not even a victim of a crime is safe from the trigger happy torturers in state issued dress.
Donald Flores was hit by a car that fled the scene in 2012. He was badly hurt, but just wanted to get to his home. As he was walking on the roadway on his way home, he was stopped by a police sergeant named Shultz. Shultz proceeded to use a taser on Flores.
Flores claimed that the taser attack by Shultz caused a seizure, and during that seizure, he was told to “stop resisting,” the first thing out of the mouth of any cop under virtually any situation, regardless of any resistence.
There can be no certainty as to what actually happened, but the actions of the police after the fact speaks volumes. There was absolutely no internal investigation of this incident. According to CBS 2 in Chicago, any use of a taser or stun gun requires an internal review.
Even more telling, Flores was charged with a list of common fake charges in cases like this including resisting arrest and battery and assault. Remember that Flores was a hit and run victim, was severely injured and disoriented, but that did not stop the police from using what could have been deadly force against him. Flores was cleared of all charges, and that in my opinion indicates foul play on the part of the police officer in question, Sgt. Shultz.
One should never trust police whether a suspect or victim. All use of force, brutal or deadly, is now common practice of police nationwide. This fact should be understood and respected by any who choose to call the police. Calling police with few exceptions should never be an option for anyone in the now police state of America.
