Police Taser Double Amputee
After spending six days in jail for resisting arrest, charges have been dropped against Greg Williams and there is currently an investigation into the incident where police tasered this double-amputee.
Williams said Pinnegar unholstered his Taser, jammed it into his rib cage and shocked him twice. Williams said he fell from his chair onto his stomach on the ground outside his doorway.
While he was down, Williams said, Court put his knee on his neck, and one of the officers then cuffed both of his wrists. At some point after he fell out of his chair, Williams said, his shorts slid down his legs.
With his hands cuffed behind his back, Williams said, he was unable to pull his pants up. He said police left him for five to 10 minutes in that position on the pavement, with his private parts showing as neighbors and onlookers watched.

For the past five months that I’ve been posting for the Idiocracy Index here on TrueSlant.com and I must say I have indexed some outrageous tasering stories. Each time I think there is no way there can be a more outrageous incident. This September I have been proved wrong once again.
- In May it was Michigan Police Tasering a stuffed animal.
- In June it was Texas Police Tasering a 72-yr old Grandma.
- In July it was New Mexico Police Tasering an innocent epileptic teenager.
- In August it was Virginia Police Tasering a Bible school teacher at a baptism party.

That’s why I was never on board with the whole “Don’t Tase Me, Bro!” jokes, t-shirts, etc. I don’t find anything remotely funny about that shit. It’s a disturbing act of violence by bullies, and it only seems to be getting worse. Thanks for staying on this story.
Wow. This looks really bad. I would be embarrassed that 3 cops couldn’t deal with an old man without legs, without using force. Probably could have talked him out of the problem. It is laziness to some degree. Easy way out.
They hate us because of our FREEDOM®.

If Greg Williams has an address where he could receive contributions I would like to send something. This is the same kind of cop I have met in the I.E. who wants duty in North San Bernardino. That’s where you can bust heads indiscriminately – if you’re a cop! I’ve seen the films of “grandma getting tased.” This is just fucking cruel! Tom Medlicott
