The Southern Thirty Adolescent Center near Mount Vernon, IL, filed the lawsuit on behalf of three children in its custody, who the lawsuit says were tasered by Jefferson County sheriff’s deputies who had been called to help subdue two misbehaving children, aged 11 and 12. Neither of those children were among those who were tasered during what one news service described as a police “rampage.” The incident took place on July 4, 2008. The federal lawsuit was filed in an East St. Louis court on Friday. In the suit the children are named only by their initials: B.B., R.E., and Z.P. According to the legal filing, quoted in the Mount Vernon Register, one deputy “physically pushed R.E. towards his bunk and shocked him repeatedly with a taser. … R.E. was tased multiple times to multiple locations on his person, including, but not limited to, his neck. Deputy Bowers shouted to B.B. to lie down in his bunk and physically forced him to lie down. “Without physical provocation and/or physical gestures from B.B., Deputy Bowers held B.B. down on his bed and shocked him repeatedly with a taser. While he was tasing B.B., Deputy David Bowers threatened to sodomize B.B. As a result of this repeated and excessive tasing, B.B. urinated and defecated himself. Deputy David Bowers was aware that B.B. urinated himself after the tasing.” The filing goes on to say that a 17-year-old female visitor to the center, who had pleaded with police to stop the attack, was grabbed by an officer, choked, and locked in a closet. From the Mount Vernon Register, quoting the legal filing: “As Z.P. was being repeatedly tased, [17-year-old] Megan Geisler pleaded with Deputy David Bowers and Deputy Lonnie Lawler to stop. Deputy David Bowers ordered Deputy Lonnie Lawler to handcuff Megan Geisler. … Deputy David Bowers grabbed Megan Geisler by her arms, lifted her off her feet, and carried her through the male dormitory to a nearby closet. On the way to the closet, Deputy David Bowers lifted Megan Geisler off the ground, pressed her against a wall and choked her. While choking her, Deputy David Bowers said, ‘do you want to live or die bitch’ to Megan Geisler. Megan Geisler was then thrown into a closet. At this time she began vomiting and heaving.” According to AP, no criminal charges have been filed in the case, and the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office says the deputies “acted appropriately.” The Illinois Department of Family and Child Services told southern Illinois’ WSIL-TV that “shocking children with Tasers can result in serious physical and mental injury. Use of these weapons is especially troubling in cases where the children involved have committed no crime and have not even been charged with wrong doing.” This video is from WSILTV.com, broadcast July 20, 2009.

That poor Bastard's ass is still sore:eplus2: He's been soundly spanked and the legal **** is still hanging over his head and the councils. Fear not we have the pigglets well in hand. We'll give you an escort in from the border:AR15firin:AR15firin It'll be good to have anutha son of the south about. Did my grad school in Spartanburg SC and still have best friends in parkersburg and webster springs WV

thats just beautiful:biggthump I am tearing up! I have always thought that crazy was an edge somehow

We have it all minus the people:biggthump

BM I live for big dumps:eplus2: all time best bumper sticker

horrors u might have to stay in town:eplus2:more bars to choose from

johnasmo hardly misses a day on the mtn all season. hooking up with him isn't a challenge:lol: Dredman is no longer local but is relatively close I would think he has some flexibility. Hard to say till they all check in I guess. any of those weeks works for me. I just need a month or so lead time to get the extra days off.

flight prices will change 50 times between now and game day! Watch for flight specials online and watch the BM wwebsite for housing and lift ticket deals.

well the ring clearly belongs to the gentleman on his left! It matches the boots. i think he's rebuffing some kind of new alternative lifestyle mating ritual.

cuban has been threatening to go elsewhere for years. hasn't happened yet! He loves it here:1luvu:

There are still good honest Peace officer's out there and they need our help stopping the rest of the *******s that are polluting the uniform.

been thinking about R&D on this very thing myself sort of a cross between a slalom ski/skwal and the regular wakeboard/jibber:lurk: thinking surfboard blank appropriately shaped and overlaid with triaxial snowboard glass and carbon stringers plywood inlay to hold the inserts

Along with Federal Money, comes increased Federal Control…. And this takeover will be wrapped in threats of laying-off police officers and anarchy on the streets. They always use fear to obtain their goals, and this time will be no different. What can you do, as citizens, to stop this? It may sound cliché, but its as simple as the old saying, “Support Your Local Police” Encourage your Sheriffs and Police Chiefs to get out of the Federal Lunch Line….. Send them copies of Sheriff Mack’s Book, The County Sheriff: America’s Last Hope. Encourage your Commissioner’s Court and City Councils to return their police departments to their original intent, which is being Peace Officers…. It is the transformation of the police officer from one of being a peace officer to one of law enforcement officer that has engendered a god complex in a select few, and an “us versus them” mentality in most. We must return our police to being IN the community, not OVER the community…. Officers need to be reminded that Community Policing is not new, it’s actually what being a peace officer was all about 100 years ago…. In the name of efficiency and response times, officers no longer know the people or businesses they serve. They are discouraged from getting out of their cars and meeting business owners, citizens, or pastors, in the name of “productivity”… I encourage citizens to get to know their local police officers by name….. Invite your officer’s to a block party…. Have them over for coffee… Let them know that you appreciate the hard job they have. The more that local officers feel like they’re a PART of the community and not only there to “take out the garbage”, the less likely they are get the “bunker mentality”. These men and women are the real last official line of defense between you and tyranny…. Because it doesn’t matter how many laws come out of the State Capitol or Washington D.C. What matters are the public servants that are out in the community choosing whether to serve the government or serve the people.

They will do whatever they want unless someone stands up and complains loud enough. MT is probably low on the list of states doing this kind of **** tho. ITs common enough to be considered normal in someplaces. We have had to deal with it for a relatively short period of time. most of the chicanery has been in the last 10 years or so. neatly coinciding with the influx of people from New Jersey and California etc. no offense intended to those of you from these places. culturally you think differently than we do. Snowboarders are usually enough anti establishment that they fit in ok.

JUST SAY NO:biggthump

There are 19 cities in MT that are self governing munincipalities. They have all sorts of weird hinky **** going on. Whitefish is another one. Privately owned corporation with a city charter that they don't bother following. 24 years of city court without becoming a court of record. MT law calls courts that aren't courts of record, inferior and it also states that they do not have the power to imprison or fine. Guess what the fish has been up to for 24 years. unlawful detainment and fines.

more people need to make a stink:biggthump email me if you want. We have been making a stink up here all summer maybe there are a few tidbits of experience you'd find helpful.

he might have turned in his badge but he still erased my earlier comment about resident trolls. :rolleyes: Here's a website that everyone should direct their local law enforcement to. I am having business cards made up to hand out to uniforms I meet. Yes I am already a member. http://oathkeepers.org/oath/

he didn't like my resident troll remark either apparently:eplus2: If you are a peace officer TT perhaps you should check out a group called oathkeeper's they are an enlightned group of servicemen and peace officers dedicated to the oaths they took and they have my utmost respect. Discussions regarding the proper duties of law enforcement should not be viewed as a threat or demeaning to the office in question. IT is the choices of individuals wearing the uniform that is being denegrated here not the uniform itself. Please don't take offense we don't hate all cops just the bad ones. In my book tasering an old lady ain't kool under any circumstances short of her pulling a gun.

hey cuban why don't you put down the beer carefully and book a flight. ITs just as nice here in the summer:cool: We have three plus microbreweries here in the valley and if you are up for a road trip there are probably ten within a reasonable driving distance:eplus2:

consider me standing up:biggthump

take out the insoles. any arch support will be uncomfortable skating because your arches are flexing so much

someone has been drinking again:biggthump Montana gets in your blood I know that for sure. could be true for anywhere in the rockies maybe;) very poetic by the way:eplus2:
