After pleading guilty to federal charges of deprivation of rights, two Marion, South Carolina, police officers are due to be sentenced on Monday. Eric Walters and Franklin "Frankie" Brown are expected to each receive at least 12 months in prison after being fired two full years ago for one of the grossest stories of police misconduct you'll ever hear.
After Eric Walters saw Melissa Davis simply walking out of a home that was listed for sale, he confronted her:
He asked her what she was doing, thinking she might have broken into the home, then shocked her with his Taser, according to court papers. After Davis fell to the ground, Walters ordered her to put her hands behind her back, then shocked her four more times before she could respond, prosecutors said.
By the time Brown responded, Walters had determined Davis did nothing wrong and was removing the Taser probes from her back. Brown noticed one of Davis' hands had slipped from her improperly applied handcuffs and ordered everyone to move away and shocked Davis again, even though she was not trying to fight or escape, according to court papers.
Brown shocked Davis twice more, then offered to let her go if he could shoot her in the forehead one more time with his Taser, prosecutors said.
i posted recently thinking we were seeing a crazed phase were cops were getting off left and right for hostile acts against unarmed non combatants but now i'm willing to look again and wonder what is going on have all the police gotten some kind of email or phone call that sparks the reader or listener and triggers a violent act? remember the movie "The Manchurian Candidate" where a group of POW's were brainwashed and given triggers that would prompt them to kill selected officials. these guys need to be fired and replaced by well vetted officers with no prior record of civil violence.
this guy or guys are psychotic sadist and should be jailed in general population.
