Water boarding for 15 seconds, of some one who
is an avowed terrorist, willing to kill US civilians
is illegal and considered torture.
is illegal and considered torture.
But hitting a crying civilian laying on the
ground with 50,000 volts with a tazer
for 15 seconds is OK and legal?
He refused to to sign the citation.
That constitutes a misdemeanor offense.
WTF
15 seconds of water = torture.
15 seconds of 50,000 volts = OK?
Given a choice I'd chose the water.
I'm not a lawyer I only play one on on TV,
But that ruling would seem to indicate
one could zap a terrorist if he wouldn't come out of his cell.
But not if he is standing in water?
Have I got that right?
Go figure.
