Absolutely nothing could justify doing this to another person.
This article doesn’t mention that this teenager was arrested for marijuana possession. He’s being tortured over a victimless crime.
There are not victims of the drugs? I’ll let mexico and so many people here killed by gangs know that.
There are victims of drugs, but pot isn’t some sort of cyberpunk drug that turns dudes into hunter-killer zombies, and
1) Stun guns are “less than lethal” weapons, not non-lethal weapons. If you’re a gun enthusiast you should know this.
2) This isn’t the law. The law does not indicate electrical torture for pot, not even in spirit. In doing this, these men are undermining the faith of the people in the justice system and, indirectly, the very legitimacy of the state.
3) If corporal punishment were indicated (which it isn’t), some other method less likely to cause a heart attack would be a better option.
You don’t have to defend every single thing or else the anarchists win, dude. You only have to support changes to policies that would reduce this behavior in the future, such as independent prosecutorial boards for police misconduct at the state level which are not beholden to the police for their ordinary duties. America doesn’t lose anything by making its police better.
