Cops Taser Old Man For Sitting In Wrong Seat At Baseball Game

Yet another video has emerged of cops tasering someone for sitting in the wrong seat at a sports event. The victim this time was an old man attending an Oakland Athletics baseball game in Oakland California.
The man tased by cops was 62-year-old Thomas Bruso, who apparently was sitting in the wrong seat and drinking little bottles of vodka. Police claimed that the man was not “complying” with attempts to arrest him so the crowd was cleared and he was tasered from behind.
Another man is seen being pushed down the stairs as the situation escalates.
“While the man is clearly uncooperative and perhaps belligerent, it is unclear why a shot of 50,000 volts was needed,” comments Constitutional lawyer Jonathan Turley.
As the incident unfolded an observer in the crowd commented, “C’mon, take it easy on him….I can’t believe you guys tased him.”
“This individual is not a small person,” said Ofc. Jeff Thomason. “He is 6-foot-1, 280 pounds, so getting in a fight with an individual like this is not in the officer’s best interest.”
However, as the video shows, the cops attempted to arrest the man for barely a minute before resorting to using the taser. The man was resisting arrest but he was not in a “fight” with the cops as Thomason implies.
This is not the first time that police have deployed a taser on someone for sitting in the wrong seat at a sports event.
In a far more disturbing case last year, Wisconsin police were caught on camera tasering a 54-year-old woman at a football game in Madison.
Margaret Hiebing, a veteran Badger season ticket holder, was ejected from the Camp Randall stadium during the Oct. 11 game against Penn State after she was found sitting in the wrong seat, reported WKOW 27 News.
Hiebing had taken a different seat because someone else had occupied her usual place at the packed game.
When police approached Mrs Hiebing she explained the situation and refused to leave. Onlookers began to berate the cops after one of them reportedly threatened Hiebing with pepper spray.
One witness filmed the altercation on a cell phone, evidence which would later dispel initial police claims that Hiebing was causing an obstruction by sitting in the aisle. Police then forced Hiebing face down on the ground and tased her on the back of the leg, confining her to a wheelchair because she was unable to walk out of the stadium.
Both these cases, and hundreds more that have occurred down the years, illustrate that the taser, far from being a cop’s last line of defense against a dangerous individual, is being used as a torture device for the purposes of pain compliance – merely forcing the victim to submit to the officer’s demands whether they pose a physical threat to the cop or not.

Oakland Cops To Search Homes For Guns
Lee Rogers
Rogue Government
April 11, 2008
The establishment is continuing their agenda to destroy the American people’s right to bear arms as is guaranteed in the Second Amendment of the Constitution. According to a report from Bay Area News, Oakland’s City Council’s public safety committee approved a pilot program where Oakland police officers would knock on doors and ask permission to search homes for guns. It now goes to the full council where if approved will mean Oakland Cops will be permitted to go on fishing expeditions requesting people to search their homes without a warrant. What is really sick about this is that they make it sound reasonable citing that they are merely asking people to search their homes before they enter. They also claim that this program is designed only to keep people safe. This is ridiculous as these fishing expeditions are a clear violation of the Fourth Amendment regardless of if they request to enter a person’s home because there is no probable cause for this sort of unreasonable search. This type of unconstitutional gun search program is nothing new as similar programs have recently been implemented in Boston and Washington DC. Other programs have been launched as early as the 1990s using what police call “knock and talk” in cities like St. Louis. There is no doubt that this is a national program designed to socially engineer people to accept unconstitutional gun searches of people’s homes.
Below is a blurb from the Bay Area News report on this unconstitutional gun search program.
A six-month pilot program where Oakland police officers would knock on doors and ask permission to search homes for guns got the green light from the City Council’s public safety committee Tuesday night.
It goes to the full council Tuesday, when the council will meet at 6 p.m. at City Hall, 1 Frank Ogawa Plaza.
The consent-to-search program, as it is called, is based closely on a similar effort launched in St. Louis in 1994 and on ongoing programs in Boston and Washington, D.C. The idea is simple: To ask parents for permission to search their homes for weapons their children may be hiding.
Under the program, officers would request permission to search homes for guns. Guns would be taken away, but officers would not pursue prosecution unless the weapon was tied to a crime.
The St. Louis effort fizzled after initial success, but Oakland’s Deputy Police Chief David Kozicki said that in Washington, police officers say they cannot keep up with requests from parents to search their homes. Such is the interest in the program, he said.
Councilwoman Patricia Kernighan (Grand Lake-Chinatown), who is on the public safety committee, said she was surprised to hear that and hoped Oakland might see the same results.
“I think it’s worth trying and seeing what the community reaction is,’’ she said. “If it’s embraced as a way to get guns off the street, great. If people don’t want to cooperate, then we don’t continue the program.’’
Other “knock and talk” programs claim that people who consent to having their homes searched will be given amnesty. This is total garbage. If you have several bags of marijuana in your cabinet after you consent to the police searching your home you aren’t going to get amnesty. The police will seize your drugs and then have you arrested.
There have also been other programs in which cash or even gift cards have been offered for guns. This is yet another program designed to socially engineer people into thinking that giving up their guns is a good thing.
If this unconstitutional search program is approved by Oakland’s City Council, all of the people sitting on that council and any police participating in the program should be immediately arrested. These people will have approved and enforced an initiative that is in violation of the Second and Fourth Amendments of the Constitution. The fact that this type of garbage is being considered by useful idiots in positions of power is more proof that this country is going right down the crapper. When will people understand that the government hates you and they do not want to help you? The purpose of the Second Amendment is to ensure that people have the ability to defend themselves when confronted by an unjust and tyrannical government. This is what we are currently faced with today, and it is why the Second Amendment is so important. Unfortunately, if this sort of thing continues, the Second Amendment will soon be no more.

Oakland Restricts Smoking Outside
NBC
October 17, 2007
OAKLAND, Calif. — Officials in Oakland have passed new rules putting restrictions on where smokers can light up.
The Oakland City Council unanimously approved an ordinance Tuesday that makes it illegal to smoke in outdoor dining areas, ATM lines, parks and bus stops.
Smoking will also be banned in child care centers and municipal golf courses.
Besides prohibiting smoking in some areas, the new rules will require landlords and condominium owners to notify prospective tenants and buyers of the smoking status of units they intend to move into.
The new law will go in effect on Oct. 23.
Oakland’s ordinance follows a new law adopted last week in Belmont that will ban smoking in parks, other public places and inside apartments and condominiums.
