Dothan, Al.
The Dothan Police Department received a call for service regarding an intoxicated person who had become disorderly at Houligans, 3611 Montgomery Hwy, at 1:48 a.m. Within minutes, a Houston County Deputy arrived to find Houligans’ employees struggling with the suspect at which time the deputy attempted to take the suspect into custody. The suspect became extremely combative and was tazed but continued to fight. The deputy continued to struggle with the suspect tazing him twice in an attempt to take him into custody. A Dothan Police sergeant arrived on scene and requested additional units respond emergency response due to the intensity of the fight in progress. Additional officers arrived on scene and were finally able to handcuff the combative man. A short time later police requested rescue stating the subject was in and out of consciousness. Dothan Fire Department arrived on scene to assist officers who had begun administering CPR to the suspect who had suddenly stopped breathing. He was then transported to Flowers Hospital where medical staff made extensive efforts to re-establish breathing but were unsuccessful. 43-year-old Johnnie Kamahi Warren was pronounced dead at 3:16 a.m. in the emergency room at Flowers Hospital by Houston County Coroner Robert Byrd.
Warren lived in Forest Park, Ga., with his wife, and had been in Dothan on business according to Byrd.
“He’s in route to Montgomery for an autopsy, and right now we just don’t have any indication of what the cause of death will be,” Byrd said.
The Dothan Police Department and Houston County Sheriff's Office have requested an investigation in this case which is being handled by the Alabama Bureau of Investigation. The investigation is underway and will continue through the morning. More information regarding the case is expected at a later time.
Due to the fear of encountering a terrorist, some state attorney generals have allowed law enforcement in their states to become ruthless. It doesn’t matter what you are being detained for: not wearing seat belt, j-walking, questioning, etc. There are no exceptions for mental illness, health problems, being pregnant, young or old, male or female, or being incoherent (drunk, drugs, insulin shock, etc). Officers have been allowed to taze subjects because of tone or loudness of voice, moving without permission, curling of the fingers, standing up, walking toward an officer, etc. No screening is done for medical bracelets, necklaces, or medical id. cards. If a person has heart trouble or on drugs or drunk they have a high risk of having a heart attack if they are tazed. Most officers don’t warn or explain the painful consequences to the subjects and most Americans don’t know how ruthless some officers have become. Officers have been allowed to escalate to lethal weapons if tazing fails to get their point across.
ReplyDeleteThese High Voltage Dart Guns afflict serve pain by shooting two darts into a subject's body and then 50,000 volts or more is applied until the enforcer feels satisfaction. When tazed it feels like you've been hit by lightning. It causes the subjects to loose control of their bodies. HVDGs have caused deaths directly by bringing on heart attacks and indirectly from head injuries caused from falling head first. As observed in live videos, officers have not attempted to break the falls. Officers that where standing in positions that could have caught the falling subjects side stepped possibly because they were afraid of the high voltage. However, this is not what they are taught in law enforcement training where videos show that they are using at least a 3” padded mat on the floor and/or two people to catch the trainees when they are tazed. Another item of interest is that training centers use medium voltage dart guns that produce a short 2 second burst.
