[tod evans]

Any news on the kid?

 

[Anti Federalist]

Wonder when there will be teary eyed presidential addresses and flags flying at half mast for the Fasching girl?

Or Aliayna Jones?

Or Noel Polanco?

Or Kelly Thomas?

Or Nick Christie?

Or Patricia Cook?

Or the thousands of other victims of police abuse?

I didn't think so.

 

[Anti Federalist]

Or Miriam Carey.

Bump for another thread

WRT the OP, yes there are still people who buy the "land of the free" lie.

I still hear prayers for the troops who are "fighting for their freedoms."

And most people would probably be downright offended if they read the things you've written about police. I don't even go quite that far most of the time (Not because I disagree, but simply because people haven't been introduced to these ideas most of the time) and a lot of people still get offended.

Yet, you're right.

And thus, we're screwed.

 

[TomtheTinker]

Just doing their jobs!

 

[Christian Liberty]

If that doesn't make you cross-eyed, spitting nails, hair on fire furious, you are not a human being, and you have no soul.

Yeah, it makes me mad, alright. I don't know what the flying crap to do with it, but I'm ticked.

 

[JK/SEA]

keep spreading the word.

once heard and seen, it cannot be un-heard or un-seen.

yes, it will take time.

My law enforcement teacher back when I was in highschool mentioned how he was on the CA, Riverside SWAT team. They threw a flash grenade into a room and there was a person on the bed of that room. The grenade fell onto the side of the bed. When the person heard and realize what was going on, he rolled over to the side of the bed and landed right on the grenade. The person died when the flash grenade went off under him.

There have been police officers killed because flash bangs went off prematurely or unexpectedly. More than a few.

Others have lost hands or fingers.

The child's burns, apparently. Taken from the Will Griggs' article.

Although stun grenades are usually designed to be non-lethal, several deaths have been attributed to their use. These include:

In 1989, police in Minneapolis, Minnesota, conducted a drug raid at the home of an elderly couple, Lloyd Smalley and Lillian Weiss, after receiving inaccurate information from an informant. The flashbang grenades police used in the raid set the home on fire. Police said they were certain no one was inside, and so, at first, made no attempt at rescue. Smalley and Weiss died of smoke inhalation.[2][3][4][5][6]

In May 2003, a woman named Alberta Spruill died from a heart attack after a police team detonated a stun grenade at her residence in Harlem, New York. Her family eventually won a $1.6 million civil suit against the city.[7]

In January 2011, a California man named Rogelio Serrato died of smoke inhalation after a flashbang grenade launched by a police SWAT team ignited a fire in his home.[8] The man was believed to have been hiding in the attic when the fire broke out.[9]

In February 2011, a North Carolina SWAT police officer was injured at his home when a stun grenade accidentally detonated while he was attempting to secure his equipment. He underwent emergency surgery, but later died of his injuries.

Powder burns hurt like hell.

Powder burns hurt like hell.

Nothing burns worse than something you can't get off.

These explode and create up to 180db (she'll be lucky if she doesn't have hearing damage, perhaps permanently) and 1,000,000 candelas. (I couldn't even imagine.)

It's no trivial issue.

I was posting the picture because I am disturbed to see a child's flesh look like a smoked pig. I was surprised it had not yet been posted.

Good to know though, as isn't the case with other seared children, the "chemicals" used to create such a blast/effect will most likely not cause her any direct organ failure within the next decade. I was concerned those particles may have stayed with her.

ETA: My response was not intended to come off as preachy or whatever. I know you know what I'm talking about. The "apparently" was just that I wasn't sure if this was the child burned here in this instance, or another. (there was no caption to clarify) The picture looked familiar, or I've seen too many flash bang burn victims. It's getting monotonous, day after day there is something so damn incredible it leaves me speechless. I've seen about it all but still am surprised by what occurs daily.

 

[satchelmcqueen]

i would sue the fuck out of everyone involved if they did that to my little girl. fuck em!!!

id even make t shirts with all of the cops faces on the front and give them out for free. id ruin them forever.

 

[Anti Federalist]

Honestly?

I posted that picture in the OP but the link went dead.

Thanks for re-posting...it needs to be seen.

Freedom Burn!

You're on the money my friend. I really don't know what to say about any of this. Americans have proven such a disappointment.

 

[osan]

So they think it's wise to throw grenades into a house that they suspect has a meth lab? Sounds to me like they wanted to burn up everyone inside.

You bring up an interesting point. I wonder how they will feel if one day they toss a grenade and the house goes up in a big way, killing the entire team. I can just hear the spin now...
