Mentally Disturbed? Taser coming right up!

Tasering has become the usual way that disturbed citizens are dealt with in America, and it is a spreading trend.  On September 24, a distraught New Yorker was killed when he was standing naked and irrational on his balcony.  Police Tasered him and caused him to fall 10 feet to the naked pavement beneath his balcony (no protection was placed there by police prior to shooting him).  Then on September 26, a teen mother was Tasered in Canada, with police saying she was mentally disturbed. 

Apparently, it is open season on mental patients internationally.

MOTHER, 16, TASERED TWICE WHILE HOLDING INFANT

Police feared for baby's safety
Sep 26, 2008 08:01 AM

VANCOUVER – Vancouver police say they had to use a Taser on a
16-year-old mother in order to say the life of her month-old baby.

A police department release says the young mother was "touched" with a
Taser on her arm and back when officers feared she was holding her
infant in a way that could smother him.

The incident occurred Monday afternoon in <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 />Vancouver when police were
called after social workers were unable to convince the mom to hand over
her child.

The baby was born with life-threatening conditions and there was concern
he required immediate medical attention.

According to police, the teenager is mentally disturbed and the Taser
was used only after prolonged negotiations had failed.  (See link for full article)

Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.  ~ Matthew 25:37-40
