ON THE DEATH OF JASON JESUS GOMEZ, 3/25/2008, A 4+ AVERAGE (MGM AND GATE)STUDENT AND A LIFE SCOUT WITH NO TATTOOS, A TIPYCAL IRISH-SPANISH AMERICAN KID.

“CALIFORNIAS” Sheriffs deputies are nothing but “DOMESTIC TERRORISTS AND LOSSERS” and “COWARDS” that they GET OFF on Restrained individuals without a “GANG AFFILIATION” (when I say restrained, I mean hand and feet cuffed with cheecks road burned by them ((deputies))dragging them like “LIFELESS ANIMALS”)They Are The Returning MILITARY, AFTER THEIR TOUR OF DUTY, THEY could not make it in the Main stream society, thus they decided to became SHERIFF DEPUTIES to feel Manly by terrorizing our own helpeless and encarcerated people (when they where so COWARD to fight the ENEMY and want to make their “mark” in our society by terrorizing their fellow country man “AMERICANS, THE BEST PEOPLE ON THIS UNIVERSE AS WE KNOW IT” (the same ones that they were suppouse to be protecting in the foreign war, “DO YOU KNOW THAT OUR OWN MILITARY CAN NOT TEASE ANY OF THE REAL TERRORISTS THAT KILLED OUR OWN PEOPLE IN OUR OWN SOIL ON 911 OR THEY WILL FACE COURT MARTIAL?.....,BUT THEY CAN KILLED OUR OWN, NO QUESTIONS ASKED,)since they, for the most part are the so call WARRIORS, returning home from defending OUR COUNTRY IN A FOREIGN WAR   (That WE were lied, to participate in without Just Cause). I REALLY Would like to meet THOSE COWARDS on a one to one basis (or Two) and show them what a real U.S.A WARRIOR IS LIKE. (with no reservations)

THIER LEADER, “CORONA” was indicted, just goes to show you the kind of COWARDS THAT THEY ARE. I Am pretty sure (I KNOW) there are very few “TRUE WARRIORS AMONGST THEM”).THE REST ARE COWARDS.

WHEN I SAID WITHOUT A GANG AFFILIATION I MEAN THE DEPUTIES HAD NOTHING TO FEAR, SINCE THEY COULD USE THE NEW COMMERS FOR THEIR ENJOYMENT OF THE DEPUTIES AND TO SATISFIED AND PACIFIED THE INTERNAL GANGS, BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO HAVE NEWCOMERS AS BAIT TO PACIFIED THEM (THE DEPUTIES KNOW IT DOES NOT TAKE MUCH TO SATISFIED THEM..” ((as they say the ignorant gang members)) INTERNAL GANGS (just throw them a bone, and you can control them) TO HAVE FOR THE DEPUTIES OWN ENJOYMENT (just ask any body that has been encarcerated

SINCERELY:.

A THRUE AMERICAN WARRIOR, FOR THE PEOPLE AND BY THE PEOPLE.

Excited-Delirium asks:

“Do prisons have to publicly report their use and misuse of the taser? Or are they permitted to use them for purposes of torture and pain compliance without any oversight whatsoever? Do we only hear about it when inmates die?”

Interesting question. Ive seen torture in juvenile facilities, so I imagine it happens in adult facilities also. One reform school (where I worked) had a bed, with the mattress removed, and a metal flat spring. Children (as young as 12) were strapped to this device and electricity (provided by an ignition coil) was sent through the spring causing such pain as to contort small bodies in unbelievable ways.

I assume there are sadists in adult facilities also!

Allowing people to believe that using certain things like tasers and pepper spray are benign means of crowd control, encourages their use merely to control everyone even those involved in none threatening protest.

I am sorry that I didn’t make a note of the evil congress person who authored the spraying of pepper spray into the eyes of passive protestors in his office. And, I haven’t forgotten the hyped new microwave to make people believe they are on fire. All of these things are being used and going to be used not just on criminals, but on ordinary citizens trying to get their elected and appointed officials attention when these officials are being bullying and working against their interests.

It is not a good idea.

The purpose of your retort is that the taser works off of “near” lethal amperage?  The time the taser is applied and where it is applied also must be factored. 
Fatal ratings are from 0.006-0.2 amps or 6ma to 200ma passed across the heart for 1-3 seconds. 

You must also factor in the relative health condition of the person shocked, condition of the heart and the sodium content of the blood.  Additionally the external resistance of the body is high (~300K) when dry and low (~30K) when sweaty, which factors into the level of the amperage encountered. 
Given that fact that there was a struggle before the inmate was tasered, his external resistance was probably low; being in a mostly dormant state he was most likely in poor health and guards train themselves to “shoot” center mass which equates to very close proximity to the heart.  All of these things should equal to near fatal results. 

Though the design of the taser is not to stimulate the heart but to neutralize the nerve endings and thereby locking the muscles temporarily.  It may be necessary to limit the number of shocks per deployment of the wires.  Additional shocks could result in fatalities.

“He was a threat!”

Ah, he was already in jail.

“He was high on cocaine and booze and had been up all night partying!”

See above.

“The X26 taser is only 2 mA (average) which is perfectly safe.”

Misleading. It is 151 mA RMS which some may claim is perfectly dangerous (and seems to match the apparent death rate). Household power is 115 volts RMS, but ZERO volts average. Do you think that your power bill based on average or RMS?

Do prisons have to publicly report their use and misuse of the taser? Or are they permitted to use them for purposes of torture and pain compliance without any oversight whatsoever? Do we only hear about it when inmates die?
