We're the Only Ones Giving Electroshock Therapy Enough

Mobile, Ala., police allegedly used a stun gun on a deaf and mentally disabled man to get him to leave a bathroom at a store, police records show...

...Antonio Love, who has the mental capacity of a 10-year-old, told his family through sign language that he was in the bathroom because he was sick to his stomach. [More]
Let's just hope he's smart enough to realize that when an "Only One" gives you an order, you obey NOW. Or else.

That goes for the rest of you, too.

David,
This makes two stun gun incidents in today's W.O.G.
I don't ever remember reading about a single macing when that was the only one "less than lethal" choice.

What the hell kind of crime is "failure to obey a police officer?" Nothing in there about it being a lawful order?

Eh, not so much here, boss. I have orders of my own, often described as having a loud report.

"Single macing"? Antonio was pepper sprayed and then stunned.

I can't imagine what it was like for all involved to use pepper spray in an enclosed area like a rest room.

Amazing what happens when the deaf and/or mentally handicapped do not jump to the screamed directives of "authorituh".
