The militarization of JUSTICE! Yeah, right!

You will note in this video, that every time the pig goes near FOOD, it gets tasered. Now this IS interesting as recent videos regarding the training of troops to handle those incarcerated (read: put in FEMA camps) are being trained to IGNORE those who shout for food!!

A company that uses barbaric methods of testing on animals and MILITARY testing sites raises eyebrows at a minimum.

I warn you, this video is SHOCKING. It comes via the tasergunvideo.com site.

In John Webster's Taser experiments at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, pigs are suffering behind closed doors, unseen by the public. Now, PETA has obtained sickening video footage of another series of Taser experiments, which were funded by the Pentagon's Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Directorate (JNLWD) through the Department of Defense (DoD). The JNLWD commissioned the Air Force Research Laboratory to "evaluate the behavioral effectiveness" of Taser's products at Brooks Air Force Base in Texas.

Now this one takes roughly a minute and a half. The womann is CLEARLY upset, but no threat to anyone until she is touched and forced to stand up, then watch the taser go off- which goes off, remember for a LONG time


Sheffield Village police use a Taser on a woman arrested on suspicion of drunk driving. Read the article at: http://www.chroniclet.com/2007/03/22/...

TaserNet TRAD

TRAD: The Military’s Tasernet

Taser technology is brought to a whole new level when the full forces of a military budget and a NASA-level scientific research team combine to create the optimum security device. Meet TRAD: the Taser Remote Area Denial System, otherwise known as a “Tasernet.” This cutting edge military technology combines the immobilizing power of the Taser X26 shock waves with a complex ntrad.jpg, trad, tasernet, taser, military taser, professional taser, advanced taseretwork of sensors and cameras to make in effect an artificially intelligent security guard, capable of identifying and then incapacitating security threats.

The TRAD is designed to be a technological soldier in high security risk places like military command centers, depots, and checkpoints. It is conveniently contained in a ruggedized, stand-alone device, capable of withstanding the rough-and-tumble front-lines military atmosphere. A great advantage of this new technology is that it does the job of a solider, yet when confronted by a hazardous security risk, the replacement of a human member of the armed forces with a technological one cuts down the potential for human injury and loss of life.

Using the TASER NMI engine with the TASER CAM Infrared Imaging sensors, the TRAD visually observes any passerby who enters its range. The Tasernet application then displays visual sightings from a combination of TRAD imagers, oversight cameras, and graphic representations filling in the visual gaps. In other words, it is a complex system set up by taser technology to act as a virtual soldier’s eyes and judgment faculties. It assess security threats and act appropriately. If the Tasernet identifies the intruder as a threat, it then is authorized to fire multiple X26 taser cartridges that are independently controlled at the target.

If the target is not fully immobilized, the TRAD unit can even be reengaged to fire again by the systems operator, until the target is subdued and a response team is on scene to restrain the security threat.

One significant development with this new taser technology is that although the TRAD can be programmed to require a human operator for authorization of friend/foe designation and taser firing permission, the TRAD can also be programmed to identify friend or foe on its own, making it truly an example of an artificially intelligent soldier, reliant on taser technology. This offsets the advantages of protecting human lives by using artificial soldiers, with chilling future potential of artificially intelligent armed forces.

If you are looking to purchase the TRAD for your own civilian uses, you have no such luck. The TRAD is sold only as a military technology to military specialists.

Don’t tase me drone!

UN declares stun guns to be instruments of torture while Taser rep says “it’s not real pain” and puts drone craft into development

They Live Taser Saucer To Become A Reality

by Steve Watson

One of the biggest Taser representatives outside the US base has declared the company’s intention to produce and sell internationally a small airborne drone version of the weapon that can administer electrical jolts of 50,000 volts.

Antoine di Zazzo has told the AFP that his French company is “developing a mini-flying saucer like drone which could also fire Taser stun rounds on criminal suspects or rioting crowds. He expects it to be launched next year and to be sold internationally by Taser.”

The idea conjures up memories of the flying saucer spy drones from the 1988 dystopian cult classic movie They Live. The opening of George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty Four also features the idea of police flying overhead and snooping into homes. Now this nightmare vision is set to become reality.

With 250,000 Taser stun guns in use all over the world from North America, Australia, Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Australia, Singapore and New Zealand, to name just a few of 70 or so countries, it hardly takes a stretch of the imagination to foresee the take up of Taser’s airborne drones.

In addition we have also seen moves by police forces around the world to test and use flying drones. Most recently controversy was raised after it was discovered that Houston police have been secretly testing spy drones that use a high-powered cameras designed to look into buildings or even follow people in moving cars.

Drone Planes are not new to the United States. The military has been using drones for secret war zone surveillance for years; drones were also used to put out the California wildfires last month. The drones used for the test in Houston weigh only 40 pounds, but can carry 15 pounds more in gear. They are able to stay airborne 15 to 24 hours without landing.

Reports from June indicated that the Department of Homeland Security used a spy drone to stake out the property of income tax protestors Ed and Elaine Brown before they were arrested in September. In April the British press reported on a British amateur inventor who won a contract with the US government for a 3ft-wide flying saucer contraption, a cross between a hovercraft and a helicopter, which is being considered as a surveillance tool.

We have also recently seen drones used to keep tabs on concert goers in Britain. Such devices have since been deployed by police in areas of the UK for “tackling anti-social behaviour and public disorder”. Other reports have highlighted interest in drones and testing by police departments nationwide. Some protestors are even adamant that they have witnessed tiny insect like drones in deployment at anti war rallies. Such creations are certainly in development if not already in deployment.

Taser has been mired in controversy, since the wide uptake of its stun guns by police forces, due to the level of pain the devices inflict and the amount of deaths that have occurred after their use. Last week a perfectly healthy 20 year old man died in police custody after being shocked with a taser. Another 36-year-old man died Saturday five days after an altercation with police who used a Taser to subdue him. Last month a Polish man was killed at Vancouver airport after being stunned up to 4 times.

Further questions have been raised over more frequent police use of tasers. The guns are supposed to be the last response before lethal action, however, we have increasingly reported cases where police use them without warning and in non threatening situations.

Amnesty International has said there have been about 300 deaths around the world after Taser use and has called for it to be suspended while a full investigation into the impact is conducted.

On Friday, a UN Committee said the stun gun “causes acute pain, constituting a form of torture”.

Despite this Antoine di Zazzo of Taser International says that no death has been attributed to the use of the gun and that the controversy is caused by misunderstanding of new technology.

When asked about the UN verdict on the weapons di Zazzo replied “You cannot call it real pain,” and added that far from causing death, the gun “saves lives”.

How long will it be before small flying saucer drones are zipping around our cities zapping people in order to “save lives”?

Lawyers latest group to demand temporary ban on police use of Tasers

VANCOUVER - The Trial Lawyers Association of B.C. is the latest group to call for a moratorium on the use of Tasers by police.

Spokesman Bentley Doyle says using the stun guns can't be justified until all police procedures are thoroughly reviewed and reassessed. He says there have been a disturbingly high number of tragic incidents in Canada related to Tasers.

Doyle says police got along without Tasers in the past and they can do so again.

The Opposition NDP in B.C. has also called for a Taser ban in the wake of the death of Polish immigrant Robert Dziekanski at Vancouver International Airport.

But Solicitor General John Les and the B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police have rejected such calls, insisting the devices are safe.
