Army Iraq War Verteran/Soldier beaten at McCarran Airport

April 27th, 2009

There will be no punishment for the so-called ‘officers’, there never is. The corrupt Bush government gave them license to beat, club, break bones, fracture skulls, tazer, strip search, beat children, women, kill, torture, and do pretty much anything they want to the slavish people. And don’t expect Obama to ‘change’ it.

I again asked for the name of his boss. He again refused. At this point officer Jennings asked me to come with him. I complied and walked about 30-40 feet away from the podium. Officer Jennings asked to see my boarding pass. I reached into my left front pocket and retrieved my locker ticket. I said ‘oops and placed it in my front right pocket’. I reached back into my left front pocket and pulled out the one dollar bill I had placed in it. Officer Jennings took the dollar bill out of my hand and threw it on the ground. I then reached back into my left front pocket and retrieved my boarding pass and handed it to him. I then respectfully asked officer Jennings if he would please pick up my dollar bill he threw on the ground.

Without reason or justification officer Jennings pulled out his hand cuffs and told me to turn around, and place my hands behind my back. Officer Jennings then grabbed me by the right shoulder to spin me around. As a reaction I shrugged his hand off of me by dipping my shoulder down. I backed away and held my hands out to my side with my palms open and asked him why he wanted to cuff me. Officer Jennings never told me I was under arrest nor did I give him cause to believe I was any threat to him. I had addressed him in a normal tone of voice. I had merely asked him to pick up the dollar bill he had thrown to the ground.

At this point officer Jennings pulled out his baton, got into a back swing stance and told me to get down. As I was trying to comply, officer Jennings swung his baton at me. I reacted to being struck by lifting my left leg up and my left arm down to protect where I thought the baton was going to strike me. I was struck on my left hand and left leg. I was in COMPLETE disbelief. I stood with my hands extended out to my side again with open palms. Officer Jennings again swung his baton at me. I brought my arms inward perceiving where the baton was going to strike me. Officer Jennings struck me on my left side around the 5th and 6th intercostals ribs. This baton strike made me double over. Officer Jennings swung his baton at me yet again and struck me behind the left ear. This caused me to stagger. I backed away from him and again placed my hands out to my side with open palms and asked him why he was doing this. At no time did I give officer Jennings reason to believe I was going to harm or assault him.

At about this time, another Las Vegas Metro Air port police officer (whom was never identified to me) ran up with his Taser drawn and aimed at me. As I turned to my left this officer fired the Taser at me. The darts imbedded into my right forearm and my right abdomen. I felt the full 50,000 volts take effect. The charge spun me around and locked up all my muscles. As I was falling down I saw that my head was falling towards the corner of a door frame. Since I was immobilized from the Tasing I could not break my fall. I struck the corner of the door frame with my head causing an injury to my left eye. I fell to the ground and got pinned between the door and the floor. I was ordered to roll onto my stomach but couldn’t yet, Due to the baton blow to my head, the effects of being Tased, the temporary paralysis it caused and striking my head on the door frame. I was still feeling the effects and could not immediately comply. Before I could get control of my body to respond to the orders I was given a second Tasing. I cried out begging them to stop. I was in pain, weakened and confused. I was then ordered again to roll over onto my stomach, but was still unable to make my body move from the second Tasing. I was then administered a THIRD Tasing for not being able to respond to the orders to roll over onto my stomach. I was never a threat or posed a threat to the officers, I was Tased two additional times for not being able to comply with their orders which were due to the effects of being Tased. http://militarytimes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1558924
