Police use taser on Kent resident

Abstract:
Police used a Taser gun to restrain a resident outside of his home on Crain Avenue as it burned at about 4:30 a.m. Sunday.

The resident, Mike Bartlett, said he was returning from downtown for his cell phone when he noticed his sister's room on fire. He ran in to make sure she was not there and continued to find his friends in the basement and alert them of the fire....

He was arrested for that most serious of offenses... contempt of cop.

This is the new America, people. Do exactly as the police instruct without question or suffer the consequences.

Now move along, citizen... nothing to see here.

This is the freedom I served in the military for? The right to be tasered for saving family and friends from a burning building? Ohio should be a seperate country.

I think that's a little drastic, but yes they need to fix their messed up police force. Though this whole thing could be just a exaggerated story and not accurate at all, as I don't understand how any police officers could be so stupid.

This arrest is a matter of public record, yes?
What possible reason could they have had to arrest in him the first place that makes him even capable of committing the act of 'resisting arrest psychologically'.

I've heard more stories about people being tased over nothing from states other than just Ohio. Like the 72 year old woman in texas. She was resisting arrest but she wasn't fighting and how hard is it to cuff and restrain a 72 year old? This has been happening more and more across America. The saddest part is... the cops will always find a way to claim it as resisting arrest and not be prosecuted for it.

WOW ,,, just wow

I mean come the f*** on!!! How many of these events have to happen till people learn?? It's bloody obvious something needs to be done and it needs to be done FAST! These moron cops seem to be nothing short of 'Gunslinging Sherifs' which are causing nothing but havoc and have this idea that they rule the world. Bushe's term in the office is over we don't want a f***ing Police State, thank you.

Moreover, tasers should be permanently removed from use across all states, it's obviously being misused by the police not to apprehend uncooperative persons but more precisely to torture them for what ever reason even if they maybe innocent *points to this story*.

But what's the bloody point this story will just be another of many more to come ...

Kent must have a rule to only hire the most dickfaced applicants as cops. As a former student, I can see things have not changed much since my graduation in '05. I have many friends who are police officers in other cities and appreciate what they do, but these Kent officers must get off on harrassing college students. Hope ths kid sues the f'n pants of these Nazi assholes.

I am sorry to say that all most all men and women now think the same way. They sit back and complain and never do anything for their country. Working on a local,state, or federal program is too much and let others do it for them. Then they just compalin about it. I was drafted and then did 3 more years in the Army. At least this jackasz admits he is not worth the time or trouble.

You know... he's got a point. All these military folks are telling us, "You should be grateful we fight for your freedom!" Well, what the hell kind of freedom do we have in this country when Cops can taze you and arrest you for no reason? You act like you HAD to join the military... Well you didn't. You chose to. You act like you're making some huge sacrifice... please. Fucking spare me. What was the last war the USA won? I want a serious answer... That's what I thought.

You want me to thank YOU for protecting my freedom? EXACTLY HOW have you defended my freedom? Let me guess, you protected me from those imaginary WMDs? You prevented 9/11? You caught Osama? What?

I can respect people who have the guts to join the military, but don't fucking sit there from your computer chair and ask me to thank you for anything. You can thank yourself for not getting a college degree, or a real job and CHOOSING to be in the military and get paid (paid well) from my tax dollars.

Talk to me when you've avenged even ONE person who died on 9/11. How many years will I need to wait for that?

Until then, you and your platoon can go fuck yourselves.

Give me something to be grateful for before you go demanding praise from me.

seriously. if you join the military thats fine, but i have no more respect for you than i do a mechanic or teacher or anyone. great, that was the job you chose to do, and i respect that you work, but i dont think you do me any favors by going to iraq and fucking shit up. everything the US does these days is offensive, and i dont want to hear your self rightous bullshit.

Yeah, sorry, but he's only fighting for the profits of people who are moving our jobs overseas. Sad/true. He would be defending the country if they brought him home and put him on the Mexican border. But half a world away? No, I'm pretty sure no Iraqis or Afghanis have ever posed a threat to me north of oh, a random lightning or meteor strike.

I was attacked a few weeks ago on campus and the cops didn't do anything. They took forever to come and when they did they had an attitude. I had to drive myself to the hospital to get help. They didn't even take a serious report. They clearly had sided with the man who attacked me. They didn't want a description, they acted angry I had bothered them.

If the cops aren't there to help, why are they here?

So sick of these violent thugs! We have a gang problem in Kent and that gang is the city's paid extortionists - Kent Police Dept. They aren't in Kent to protect and serve, but to screw over poor people and make them indebted to the local and county governments.

Psychological resistance? What does that mean? Did he have ESP or something? Physical resistance?
Even if he did show resistance, good for him, don't get taken out by these thugs without a fight, stand up for yourself.

The tax-feeders were understandably angry that a young man went into a fire to save people while they stood around outside doing nothing. He probably asked them why they were so freaking useless, thereby failing to 'respect their authoritah!'
Seriously, the taser was supposed to be used only in those situations where the cop was authorized to shoot the person. It has spun out of control, with the taser used now as a compliance/punishment weapon. This device should be banned from the US, as we are armed ourselves and this behavior could lead to serious civil strife at some point.

@Jeff Little,

Rarely do you find a man willing to admit his size issues. It is refreshing to see a cowardly little man with a micropenis who is not afraid to share that fact with the world. Some of us, though, with big enough balls are actually willing fight for the freedoms that cowardly little shits like yourself simply whine about. You don't have to serve, that's a wonderful freedom. Don't go around knocking those who do. It just makes you look like dumbass.
