Border patrol alleged to have beat up and tazed pastor, smashed his car, on US soil, because he insisted on 4th Amendment rights
When I read "border patrol", I thought, "This guy is fighting the wrong battle—Supreme Court already ruled that the border was constitution-free zone." But it turns out it's an internal checkpoint. No national border involved. No suspension of fundamental liberties necessary.
This pastor describes his ordeal, and I want you to listen carefully to the description of what happens as the thugs break his car window: they taze him.
This is why tazers should be banned from any law enforcement use. They were supposed to replace guns. Would they even think of aiming a gun at a guy who was not resisting forcefully, let alone firing it "preemptively"? Law enforcements all over the nation are simply using tazers in addition to guns, instead of common sense, training (that is, training with bodily combat), and sensible caution. All they had to do was be on the watch whether this guy would choose the moment when the shattered glass pours on him to fight back. They didn't have to taze him.
There is no legitimate law enforcement use for tazers—if there ever were, the illegitimate uses outweigh it so much more that there is far more harm to be done by those than the few corner cases where tazer is meant for.
