Three Cheatham County Sheriff's deputies have been placed on administrative leave after a Pegram teen filed suit in federal court accusing them of using excessive force while he was being held at Cheatham County Jail.

Jordan Elias Norris, 19, has filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court accusing the deputies of deprivation of civil rights, citing the use of excessive force and failure to protect after he was repeatedly stunned with Tasers in the jail in November 2016. He suffered more than 40 pairs of Taser burns, many of which are unaccounted for by authorities, the lawsuit states.

Edit: Fucking autocorrect. Can a mod fix this?

 

[PanicFreak]

How can you possible taze someone 40 times? That does not seem even possible without death or something. Good lord.

 

[BigDug13]

Gotta watch out for that teasing.

 

[mcfrank]

Paid leave!

 

[F0rneus]

Fuck US cops.

 

[Mahonay]

WHAT THE FUCK

Let's torture people, why not?

He's lucky to be alive. Only psychopaths would do this.

 

[TheCthultist]

God thats awful. As is the autocorrect mistake, but mostly the story.

I'm shocked.

Boo!

 

[ezekial45]

American cops behaving more and more like Gestapo everyday. Sickening.

Even worse when the fucking President is encouraging this shit.

 

[Wulfric]

That picture is disgusting.

I hope those men face justice.

 

[timetokill]

Is all they did was tease people we'd be a lot better off

 

[Triz]

Tease? What is this 50 shades of Police brutality?

 

[Albino_Yeti]

Didn't they learn not to tease people in school?

Spoiler

I'm sorry

 

[Vic_Viper]

Gotta watch out for that teasing.

Did they call his mom fat? That's always a good one.

Spoiler

Nice title op

 

[Stinkles]

Dat thread title typo. My condolences op, it's a serious story.

 

[BackLogJoe]

Dat thread title typo. My condolences op, it's a serious story.

I know. I feel horrible. Not a joking matter.

 

[CaviarMeths]

Straight up fucking torture. These three are psychopaths and should be removed permanently.

 

[dr3upmushroom]

they were just making sure they werent too nice.

 

[inner-G]

WTF would you even have to do to make that seem in the realm of acceptable?

Did they think he was DUI with a nuke in the trunk or what?

 

[wandering]

Jesus Christ. A single taser shock alone is dangerous, 40 is well enough to kill.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Geezuz..look at those eyes..

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Look, this is obviously horrible

But the OP's typo made my initial mental image hilarious and I can't take this seriously enough

 

[Big Icarus]

American cops behaving more and more like Gestapo everyday. Sickening.

Even worse when the fucking President is encouraging this shit.

Remember when people used to believe there'd be enough blow back and public outcry to actually institute widespread training reform when they actually got caught doing this stuff to middle class white people and not just disenfranchised minorities?

LOL. Ah the good old days.

 

[kami_sama]

WTF How can they fucking taze someone 40 fucking times?
Can't you die with one or two tazes?

Also, OP I went in expecting a completely different thing.

 

[Ramirez]

Did they purposely put a garment in his mouth in that video so he couldn't scream, is that what I'm seeing?

 

[Rorschach]

Dat thread title typo. My condolences op, it's a serious story.

In my defense, I came in here hoping it was a feel-good, Candadian-esque, police story and I got a tale of torture. :/ I was just curious how they counted the amount of teases...

 

[Laughing Banana]

Goddamn, he's lucky he's not dead or something. Despite being 'non-lethal', Tasers can definitely kill someone.

Spoiler

And sorry OP, I chuckled at the thread title typo

 

[Glass Shark]

Put them all in jail and fire the chief that allowed this to happen on his watch.

 

[TheCthultist]

The taser shocks by deputies were recorded by an overhead surveillance video camera and by a camera on the taser itself.

Dumb question, but do most law enforcement tasers have attached cameras? I've only ever handled a civilian grade taser and only once. Its a good idea, I've just never heard of it being used before.

 

[dc89]

Holiday time for those three.

 

[maomaoIYP]

That is bloody horrifying.

Also this song was playing in my head upon reading the title https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixZjoc_jlmQ

 

[ponpo]

"I'll keep on doing that until I run out of batteries."

Seems sadistic.

 

[UberTag]

That picture is disgusting.

I hope those men face justice.

Is that what we're calling desk jobs / paid vacations these days? Justice?

 

[Dead Man]

Jesus fuck.

 

[Sunster]

looks like a threat to their safety. they were just defending themselves.

 

[Uhyve]

Good lord that picture... going right for the heart.

I know it's a weird thing to focus on, but why do multiple people have a hat that says "Sheriff"?

 

[thepenguin55]

Norris was arrested Nov. 3, 2016 and charged with felony manufacturing/possession of marijuana for resale, possession of drug paraphernalia, theft under $500 and five counts of possession of a prohibited weapon.
He was later charged with felony vandalism of over $1,000 and simple assault Nov. 7 while still incarcerated.

I'm going to guess that the cops thought they were being heros here. Even if this guy was a drug dealing dirt bag this treatment wouldn't be justified.

 

[Violence Jack]

Bullies with badges.

 

[Shauni]

Good lord that picture... going right for the heart.

Sheriff's department I would guess

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

Give that dude those officers' pensions.

 

[boredandlazy]

We should just be thankful he didn't startle any of those cops.

 

[MKIL65]

He's only 19 years old?!

Lock them all up.

 

[Saya]

Did they purposely put a garment in his mouth in that video so he couldn't scream, is that what I'm seeing?

I'm guessing so he wouldn't bite his tongue off.

 

[Al-San]

I'm assuming that county's Sheriff's Office is in charge of the county jail over there. They really messed up. You have someone in a restraint chair like that they are normally left in an observation cell for no more than a couple hours while medical staff is supposed to check on them all while being recorded. They are supposed to be taken out of the restraint chair after two hours. I don't know what possed these individuals to use their tasers on this guy 40 times though. Once your been put in one properly , you can't even move. That's a serious misuse of force.

 

[Monocle]

Literal torture, what the fuck?

 

[dark_chris]

I'm sick of cops getting a paid vacation when their faces are all over this shit.

I'm also sick of bad cops

 

[akira28]

shouldn't be legal.

 

[Mr. X]

Jeff Sessions sending them medals of honor

 

[Enzom21]

Three Cheatham County Sheriff's deputies have been placed on administrative leave

I bet this happened because the good deputies who weren't involved witnessed it and turned thes...

after a Pegram teen filed suit in federal court accusing them of using excessive force while he was being held at Cheatham County Jail.

Oh.

Jeff Sessions sending them medals of honor

Nah, this victim is white.
