Police State: Tasers Should Be Banned

Thu, 28 Aug 2008 18:13:19 -0700

Something that pisses me off every time I hear about it, is when the police use a Taser on a “suspect” for little or no reason. Every day you hear of a new story about police officers using Tasers excessively. Television shows like “Cops” and “Jail” show officers using Tasers on people with little or no provocation. Officers always claim that they “fee threatened” or “fear for their lives”. I believe the use of Tasers should be outlawed and banned in the USA. When you watch these videos of police using a Taser, many times it is hard to believe that the office could have felt threatened.

Now, I do agree that officers should have options for non-lethal force when appropriate. But it seems that the policy has become “Taser first, as questions later”. As for a Taser being non-lethal, there are hundreds of incidents where people die from the Taser. It’s like playing Russian roulette. There will be continue to be hundreds of unnecessary deaths each year due to Tasers.

If you don’t know about the Police brutality, or don’t have an opinion about it, check out the following and put yourself in these people’s shoes for a moment…

Here’s a story from just a couple of weeks ago of a 16 year old boy who somehow fell over 30 feet from an overpass. The police came to respond, but they then decided it would be appropriate to Taser him 19 times… If the kid was acting crazy it was because of the shock from the fall, not drugs or alcohol (none was found in his blood).

This next video shows a Utah Highway Patrol officer pulling over a young man with his pregnant wife in the passenger seat. The man driving the van is asking why he’s been pulled over, and is complying with officer requests. When the victim turns to walk away from the officer, the UHP officer unleashes when the guy has his back turned. Another example of officers choosing to Taser instead of talking.

CNN Coverage of the above:

In what may be the most sickening use of force, an off duty officer uses a stun gun on a father holding his newborn baby. Again a total case of “shock first, ask questions later”:

I mean, what is a guy holding a baby going to do to threaten an officer?? Apparently the nurses forgot to take off a bracelet on the baby and an alarm went off, as if he was trying to kidnap the baby… But the mother was there as well, the officer just would not listen. Shameful.

Apparently speaking truth to power is also a taser offense. By now you may have heard of the “Dont Taze Me Bro” incident, well below is the video. This guy asked if John Kerry was a member of Skull and Bones, and got mobbed by police officers, taken down, and tased:

Again, more shameful shit. Keith Olbermann from MSNBC gives a great summary:

Finally, for anyone trying to say that Tasers are non-lethal, consider the fact that hundreds have died from the violent electrical shocks from Tasers. That does not sound like non-lethal at all, in fact it sounds quite lethal.

We need to stand up as a people and have Taser use by Law Enforcement banned.

Hardware Mismatch for Fibre Channel Hard Drive

Tue, 19 Aug 2008 09:47:52 -0700

We had a hard drive (FC) mismatch and had to rebuild the path_to_inst file and /dev/rdsk/*, /dev/dsk/* and /dev/rmt/* directories. We had two drives (but the backup drive was inoperable), so instead of booting off the backup, we had to recover via cdrom. That part was a little trickier than expected. After a little web searching, a handy disaster discovery procedure (hardware mismatch) was found on the Sun BigAdmin site.

Method 1 (towards the bottom of the Sun page)

Here is what was done.

Boot from CDROM
ok boot cdrom -s
# mount /dev/dsk/c1t#d#s0 /mnt
Rename path_to_inst
# mv /mnt/etc/path_to_inst /mnt/etc/path_to_inst.org
Remove all old device links
# rm /mnt/dev/rdsk/c1*; rm /mnt/dev/dsk/c1*; rm /mnt/dev/rmt/*
Rebuild path_to_inst and devices (this (syntax) was the part we were missing)
# devfsadm -r /mnt -p /mnt/etc/path_to_inst
**Note: Suspect corrupted bootblock? - reinstall it.
# cd /mnt/usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs
# /mnt/usr/sbin/installboot bootblk /dev/rdsk/c1t#d#s0
Unmount root slice and reboot
# cd /
# umount /mnt; init 6

By the way, we tried method two (boot -rav) prior to performing the web search but each attempt failed.
