Hospital tasers 66-year-old minister over joke

Saturday, July 26, 2008
A reverend claims security guards dragged him out of a Toledo, Ohio hospital and tasered and beat him because he told a joke, CBS reported Friday.
Security cameras caught the incident on camera and show at least five officers surrounding a man laying on the floor and beating him.
“They’ve cut about five minutes of this video out,” Poisson said, describing the length of time he was kicked on the ground by one of the younger guards.

Rev. Al Poisson said he was visiting the hospital to see a man who had been injured while Poisson was shopping with his 6-year-old grandson.
“It wound up being an atrocious, unbelievable situation, to say the least,” the 66-year-old minister said.
St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center issued a statement defending the guards’ actions which said “the response to the aggression was appropriate.”
The hospital pressed charges against Poisson for assault that were eventually thrown out of court, Poisson said.
Poisson is filing a lawsuit with his lawyer Stevin Groth.
“We’re going to use the American justice system, put this in front of a jury and let them decide what’s appropriate,” Groth said.
This video is from CBS Early Show, broadcast July 25, 2008.

EVERY DAY IT’S SOMETHING ELSE!!!!! We as free citizens should not, must not, and WILL NOT stand for this any longer! I call on ALL law abiding citizens to defend yourselves…learn something of physical self defense,arm yourselves. When you witness these tragic events, don’t stand back, GET INVOLVED! If the goons go free, do your homework, find out where they live/work/spend time and DO SOMETHING!
Remember, it’s YOUR body, YOUR health and safety, YOUR country. Work together as one and support each other. Be your brother’s keeper. Cover each others’ backs. ONLY this way will the kind of trash like we see in this video be kept at bay where it belongs!

It is a new ara in America. The badge of authority has been given a new directive that countermans protect and serve. They’re new orders appear to be give me an excuse. It looks to me as though the NWO has passed the word down the chain of cammand that we are just cattle to be hearded and that thier heard dogs, aka the police or even security guards, can do whatever they fell they need to do. The beatings are not going to stop as people feel that they’re rights are beaing violated speaking up or out will bring even more retribution from our Keepers. Sorry but my pesamism run deep for our country!

A good chunk of any population is scum of the most pathetic kind. Arrogant, angry, aggressive, anti-intelligent, anti-book, and most importantly, the very opposite to any kind of alpha-male.
Now put this kinda chump in a uniform, put those uniforms in a pack, and you have a recipe for the events shown in the video above, and thousands like them across the Internet.
Did you know that stage one of Hitler’s plan, as detailed in Mein Kamp, was to use individuals like this in his street wars? As a young man, he actually identified this type of goon amongst his class mates, and realised the utility they could be put to. Stage two, by the way, was putting down the same goons ruthlessly, once he had gained full political power in Germany. You see, once these goons get ideas above their station, they become a problem to their masters, and need the most severe lesson in authority. Many of those that helped Hitler rise to power were killed when they could not accept that they had no important part to play in his new power structure.
And this is the bottom line. The state thugs that assault us on a daily basis are the very definition of self-important without any good cause whatsoever. It is their ability to think so highly of themselves, whilst being people of the lowest possible character and achievement, that makes them useful in the first place. This also explains why you cannot reason with them, and if you attempt to do so, will inflame the situation immediately.
You do as they say, without delay or complaint or visible sign of unhappiness, or you get the beat-down. And when you feel unhappy afterwards- when you feel violated, or worse, a traitor to your own Humanity for having gone along with despicable orders without objection, the real value of deploying scum like this is revealed.
WE ARE TO BE DEGRADED ON A DAILY BASIS UNTIL WE LOSE ALL SENSE OF SELF WORTH.
You think the democrats will roll back this sea of state filth? You americans really are terminally naive. At least when the police-state is deployed by the right, most people fight it. When Obama or Clinton massively increase police-state activity, most of the activists will become apologists for the police state, just like within the UK under Blair.
It was the democrat-like party of Blair in the UK that made all protest illegal except under extremely limited circumstances, and only then with police permission. The republican-like party of Thatcher would never have dared do this in a million years. Likewise, it was the democrat-like party of Blair that destroyed the principle of written law via so-called ASBO’s, a mechanism that allows the state to declare ANY FORM OF BEHAVIOUR a crime punished by many years in prison, without requiring parliament to vote or approve a specific law punishing this behaviour.

For all our sakes make a stand against this sort of thing. However we do it also go public, write letters whatever, just keep making everyone aware that at the moment there are far more good people out there than evil.
The more they act like this the more people feel that the thugs are in the majority. Don’t let them taint the good name of the majority the world as this could be anywhere in the world.

Someone needs to invent “Taser Proof” clothing….

spoke with pros stty in my city and was told tasering someone is considered a simple assult w/ max fine 1000$ and or 15 days in jail. semes to me that we should all go out and get a taser and start zapping people i mean the worst punishment is no more severe than some driving offenses

Re: rabblerouser,
I have to agree. It’s time for a “good old fashioned lynching”. It’s time to take back our country from those who have stolen it. This Was to be a nation “by the people, For the people”, but it has become a nation “by the elites, against the people”. They have declared war on us. Time to strike back – in unity. Time to start organizing groups of people, and start forming armed militias as an answer to government tyrany. Time to find the elite’s behind the scenes and bring them to justice, not to court, but to justice.

Very good points everyone,especially you Kevin Kessell.
I love that idea,or better yet,clothes that actually reverse the charge….I really hate all this shit that’s happening,I’ve been telling people about all this for at least 20 years,and now that it’s right there on the cbs news,they still ignore it,say oh well,he shouldn’t have got out of line,or he must have deserved it,PEOPLE!!!! it’s time to get out of line,go to the army surplus store and get some supplies like your own tear gas,gas mask etc.I swear if some thug “COPS” ever beats me down,I will lure them one by one and drop a mal-tav cocktail on they’re heads,It’s time to take it back like a few have suggested here,I suggest that if you ever find yourself at a rally and the police begin to cause trouble,,SURROUND THEM….
There is ALWAYS “1000’s” of citizens and a handful of police,,,WE OUTNUMBER THEM, stop letting them take your rights,I have.if you find yourself at a rally/demonstration and the police try they’re little crowd control tactics…SURROUND THEM…use them as bartering chips and inform them that they work for the “AMERICAN PEOPLE,not the American government…
i will not tolerate police being rude to me or manhandling me..
If it takes the people to lash out and deliver a few head-blows to the thugs who deserve it…so be it,,,sorry Alex,I know you don’t endorse violence,but this country was won by battling the opposing forces,not just spreading truth,most people don’t give a damn about truth and even more could care less if these fuck-sticks ruin our country or not.It will turn into a nightmare in this country if things continue to move forward in hyper drive….
Sorry,but a total military style takeover is the only way to win back the “Republic”,not the democracy to any morons that think democracy is anything more than state sponsored terrorism and slavery….I wish people that didn’t have a clue would stumble on to a few of these alternative news sites…

Since the pastor’s name is Al Poisson, the brownshirt cretin security guards probably thought he was an Arab.

What if one were grounded with special shoes to the ground or had capacitors in the heel of shoes that way the charge runs out of the body. I am no electrician.

The majority of our country are limbwrist immigrants the NWO has been killing off white anglos at the rate of 1 per min. I suggest we get underground newspaper started, and find heaven outside of big city,some of you will have to take a loss on house, so be it.

I cannot believe how many guard they use to beat a 66 year old man . Just from this video alone , it is clear that , all those guards against a 66yr old man on the ground is thug behavior. I cannot believe they have that many goons working at a hospitol. I dont see why that much security is needed.It makes me sick. And I am sure this is not the first time that these steriod using thugs have abused people and abused the power given to them.I say fire the thugs.If they cannot take a joke or comment, they do not need to be working there anyway and of course the violence they used, is unacceptable.I hope the 66yr old man can own that hospitol.

I am beginning to think that the police, security guards, customs officials and anyone in uniform has been given carte blanche to assault citizens at the merest hint of disrespect.
I wonder what this sanctioned brutality is intended to achieve.

“0ur impulses are being redirected. We are living in an artificially induced state of consciousness that resembles sleep…the poor and the underclass are growing… They have created a repressive society and we are their unwitting accomplices… …their intention to rule rests with the annihilation of consciousness. We have been lulled into a trance. They have made us indifferent, to ourselves, to others, we are focused only on our own gain…they are safe as long as they are not discovered. That is their primary method of survival. Keep us asleep, keep us selfish, keep us sedated… …they are dismantling the sleeping middle class. More and more people are becoming poor. We are their cattle. We are being bred for slavery.”

To the Inhabitants of the Greatest Country in the world: I am from a third world country as they like call it in the so called “Modern World”. I am used to see brutality by Police or the secret Inteligence, We were bought up in societies were Police and Melitary forces has the upper hand in every aspect of our daily life, BUT it was only used if you citicized the Government, or expressed your dissatisfaction with the way the governmnt is acting. What I see happening in the USA is far beyond that; it is unprecedented in any society or any form of tyanny before, to attack a peson because he said a joke! Or even because he expressed his anger towrd a security Guard who is not officially representing any government agency. If this would happen in my county, the family of the beaten Man will go to the hospital and beat the shit out of these Guards and kick their Asses for humilating an elderty person.
What they did to you is: 1-broke you family ties 2- Took your children away from you, and tought them how to become your enemies. 3- Allowed any one who is wearing a unifom to act as if he a prescuter, a judge and an excuter of the judgment, all in one, gave him the tool to excute the Judgment and the result is what happen to this Nice Man. Still most American act as if they are drugged or hypnotized!! They brought you drugs and Alchohol to steal your money and brains. First they took God from your heart and replaced it with the Dollar, now they are taking your Money and replacing it with plastic cards, then they took your kids, and gave you a remote control and a dog, and then they took your freedome, and gave you the “Alleged” security, then took your homes from you and gave you nothing! Good luck to you, that’s what happen to any nation who became so nummed so that when they see wrong doing happening infront of their eyes, they turn their face to the other side, one day it will come to you, may be in the same form or in a different form of tyranny, just sit and wait, from my experience with tyanny I can see it’s coming.

Taser proof clothing?
Wear soft body armor with a conductive mesh.
July 27th, 2008 at 7:31 am
Soft Body Armor? Thank you, thank you, thank you! Just made my day. I’ve always felt that if you are victimized by a Nazi with a taser, taser them back. Hunt them down and give them a piece of freedom.
A national Nazi Pig blotter with pictures and addresses are needed. We need to fight back now, on the web, in our minds and on the streets. All you have to do is outsmart a Pig, no great task.
If you are a Pig, ask yourself if you’d like your mother getting tasered. Then again a Pig would probably taser their own family members. No honor, no service to the public, no true American.
