OF THE
TIMES
Now, realizing Riley County Courts do not care about their oath of office, nor the Constitution or the law I will be on a hunger strike at the State Capitol until my children are returned, a Federal lawsuit or injunction is filed against you or those who have committed this crime are indicted. Some have said your State will not care, and they will let me starve to death. If that happens it will be on your doorstep, and my blood will be on your hands. Give me my children. "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." - Jesus- Ms. Brownback said recently that Kansas DCF and foster care should be a model for the nation. God help us all if that ever becomes a reality.As Veterans for Medical Cannabis Access points out, medical cannabis is an effective treatment for veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), where other drugs fail. Veterans are successfully treating themselves despite the federal government's prohibition. The ransom demanded by the Kansas "child protection" bureaucracy is a promise that Schwab will refrain from using cannabis, and four months of "clean" urinalysis test results.
...many police departments are still not regulating the use of Tasers in accordance with nationally accepted standards. According to 29 guidebooks on ECWs obtained by the Guardian from police departments where a death has occurred after the weapon was deployed this year, an overwhelming majority of them flout key tenets of the expert advice:
- Twenty police departments do not guide officers against more than three shocks in all but exceptional circumstances.
- None of the 29 departments, according to their use of force guidelines, mandate use-of-force investigations into incidents where an ECW is deployed for more than 15 seconds.
- Twenty-two departments do not advise against deploying ECWs if the sole justification is that the suspect is fleeing.
- Twenty-five departments do not advise against using an ECW's "drive stun" mode, when the weapon is thrust directly into the skin to cause pain, as a compliance technique.
- Thirteen departments do not explicitly restrict officers from deploying their ECWs if a suspect is already in handcuffs and does not pose an exceptional threat.
- Eight departments do not even explicitly require officers to give a warning, when possible, before the ECW is deployed.
Comment: The knee-jerk reaction of Trump, not to mention the enforcement arms of the State is indeed frightening.
