Cop may face charges in taser case
- Text size
WINNFIELD, Louisiana (CNN) — A police officer shocked a handcuffed Baron “Scooter” Pikes nine times with a Taser after arresting him on a cocaine charge.
He stopped twitching after seven, according to a coroner’s report. Soon afterward, Pikes was dead.
Now the officer, since fired, could end up facing criminal charges in Pikes’ January death after medical examiners ruled it a homicide.
Dr. Randolph Williams, the Winn Parish coroner, told CNN the 21-year-old sawmill worker was jolted so many times by the 50,000-volt Taser that he might have been dead before the last two shocks were delivered.

Williams ruled Pikes’ death a homicide in June after extensive study.
Winn Parish District Attorney Christopher Nevils said he will decide on any charges against the ex-officer, Scott Nugent, once a Louisiana State Police report on the case is complete.
“It’s taken several months for this case to even be properly addressed, so one has to wonder, why did it take so long?” said Carol Powell Lexing, a lawyer for the Pikes family. “Obviously, a wrongful death occurred.”
Nugent’s lawyer, Phillip Terrell, said his client followed proper procedure to subdue a man who outweighed him by 100 pounds. But Williams said Pikes was already handcuffed and on the ground when first hit with the Taser, after the 247-pound suspect was slow to follow police orders to get up.
Winnfield, a sleepy lumber town about 100 miles southeast of Shreveport, Louisiana, is best known as the birthplace of legendary Louisiana governors Huey and Earl Long. It’s also about 45 miles northwest of Jena, Louisiana, where a racially charged assault case sparked a September 2007 demonstration by an estimated 15,000 people.
One of the teenage defendants in that case, Mychal Bell, is Pikes’ first cousin — and his lawyer was Powell Lexing.

Any cop, police chief, city councilman, Governor , congressman , etc in any state that uses tasers are guilty of treason and violation of the constitution, and should all face at least some jail time for not fist fighting the fags in gov that want things like tasers. It’s time to revolt people. Time to make citizens arrests, hold the criminals in living rooms, treat them like kings in chains, feed them steak and shrimp BUT FORCE them to watch patriot and truth films for 2 weeks and then carefuly let them go back to their jobs, changed men and women, AWAKE and Enlightened, and ready to be “F” ing Americans, and stand for our freedoms, not the pinko commy fag sh*t they’ve been going along with. We need to forgo the fraudulent elections and instate Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich as our temporary leaders until we get all the complicent Media etc jailed away for good. But we won’t do a damn thing but be slaves.

9 times!? Gee, I wonder what he was trying to do? That was murder plain and simple. Keep taseing the guy even when he quit twitching, he won’t last long when they throw his keester in the can! I wouldn’t want to be a cop in jail!

He’ll walk. No two ways about it. Police lie under oath every single day in this country, especially if gangs of them are guilty of beating some poor black man. “Just sprinkle some crack on his body, and let’s get out of here!” as Chapelle would say. The judges, lawyers, and other police will go along with the lie, and help back up the bogus story, partly because of professional courtesy, and partly because they’ll want the same treatment the next time they are guilty of roughing up an innocent civilian.
“When the people fear the government, there is tryanny. When the government fears the people, there is liberty”. Ben Franklin
The way even law abiding citizens fear the police these days, it’s easy to see where we lie as a country.

The cops that do this shit need to be given the death penalty.

666 The first six is Freemasonry. The second six is Zionism. The third six in the ‘Unholy Alliance’.
The great harlot
The first of these two sixes is the great harlot, the union of Zionism and Freemasonry!
Their objective as stated above is to have total dominion over the entire
earth through monetary and government control.
The great harlot descends the entire populace of the world into abject slavery. This
process is already in place, and is escalating to its diabolical
conclusion. It is through unfair and excessive taxation, and the
power of arrogance that they have established their tyranny,
knowing what is written: “all things obey money”.
The Unholy Alliance
The third ‘six.’
The Unholy Alliance
The ‘unholy alliance’ presently consists of: Russia, China, N.
Korea, Indonesia, Pakistan, India, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Turkey, Serbia,
Sudan, and Libya. This is the core group of those who oppose the
True God, and they are already conceived, formed, and in
operation. Other countries are being added to it, and it will consist
of all the Islamic countries.
It must be noted here that Islam is the
monotheistic religion of the Muslims, and have for their goal a
theocratic government of world dominance, based on their error.

These things like other stuff gets introduced like “we need a last non-lethal defence when threatened”,then once in use they are used like “Do this or you get tazered…”
I have even seen outright imbeciles using this device to IMMOBILIZE someone, as a punishment for refusing to stand up…”Stand up now or you get another one….”
I feeling sorry for the next person that faces an officer that is to retarded to realize someone cant move any more….and keeps using the damn thing.
“It seems” some policeman clearly do not have the mental capabilities such a device requires.
And obviously policemen aren’t properly trained in the usage of tazers,and act according to their own idea’s

Not only criminal charges should be filed but civil charges by the family as well. Do what they do to innocent people – kick them in the shins! Make this cop an example so other cops will start to fear. Sue him for as much as possible and ruin his life like he, and so many other of his cohorts, do to others!

Ignorant police along with a delusional Tazer manufacturer; who believes it doesn’t have any affect on the heart — is a deadly combination.
They can’t even monitor the heart while testing the Tazer because the voltage delivered completely muddles the ECG readings.
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that people are dying from these things from as little as one or two jolts, let alone the nine in this case.
July 24th, 2008 at 10:53 am
The police know Tasers can kill people. This cop wanted to kill this man. That is the only excuse for his actions. Thank God the courts ruled it a homicide.

“It’s taken several months for this case to even be properly addressed, so one has to wonder, why did it take so long?” BECAUSE “Obviously, a wrongful death occurred.”

And continue to pursue all heirs and relatives of any holdings that remain after his passing….target him…pile on him…involve all family, friends, associates….car accidents, confrontations in the community—-BLEED this lowlife scumbag HOG!

TASERED 7 TIMES???
IN MICHAEL BLOOMBERG’S ANTI GUN NYC ITS OK FOR A COP TO SHOOT AN UNARMED MAN 50 TIMES. TYRANNY AND MURDER MUST BE STOPPED. WAKE UP SHEEPLE.

cop may face charges? too many coincidences to be a coincidence.
July 24th, 2008 at 4:36 pm
I hope that this case will go through and that this will wake at least some people to the whole thing of TASERS ARE DEADLY! I hope that Info Wars keeps us updated on this. I would love to see how it ends, even if it is bad, because that will help predict what the future will hold.

This case will not change anything. New York Pigs Department for example is above the law and they’re laughing in our faces.
Follow up on all the latest cases involving shooting by cops. The last one I believe was when cop shot a man dead and fleed the scene without even reporting the incident. Judge decided not to prosecute him. The one before that was when Sean Bell was executed. Cops who were involved now walk free.
I myself am a white guy but have been a victim of police brutality. I’m not totally against cops as I can clearly see that most of the oldschool cops are fair human beings doing their job, but those young have been brainwashed into harassing and bullying the society. I’ve been punched by a cop because I refused to pick up a beer bottle off the street (which wasn’t mine and I wasn’t drinking). I don’t like to complain about anything, but I told my friend what happened after he saw my discolored cheek. He called the Internal Affairs number and reported everything that has happened giving them my name and reading the summons number to them (which i received for “open alcohol container”). They promised that an agent will visit me soon to talk this case over. No one has ever showed up or contacted me.
Not even a month ago, cops asked for my ID (because I was “loitering”, when in fact I was waiting for my girlfriend on a sidewalk). I showed them my Florida permit. It apparently wasn’t showing up on their computers so they came back from the car and literally ripped the wallet out of my hands and went through it in search of some NY issued ID. I told them I didn’t get to change my ID yet (after moving back from FL)…They told me to “shut the fu%^ up before they teach me a lesson”. Remembering my previous experience from back in the day I stayed cool and waited for them to give me a ticket for loitering.

Following procedure, following procedure, following procedure, thats what they all say. Haven’t they ever considered that maybe their procedures are wrong or maybe their own police can manipulate the procedures in order to do illegal things. This is the problem with america and it’s inability to figure out 2 simple things. One, you can’t play dumb and think that only criminals manipulate the system he cops can to and they know it. They play a warped version of Work-to-rule, but in their case when caught doing something that they know is illegal we are told that they followed proper rules/procedures. And two, do everybody think that cops and the dumb idiots given guns and tazers and the ability to do anything they want to you will be satisfied in just going after THOSE people (you know the disenfranchised the minorities the poor). No they want to go after there “own peers” in the community in order take what they could never have gotten without that badge and gun (women, men, money, “respect”, etc.).
Cops have become the most dangerous people to be around now, it seems like they know they have a good chance of beating any rap so they have license to dish out PTSD or Post traumatic stress disorder. Welcome to the new United States.

Find him and make an example out of him.

We need to go after these pigs (by pigs I’monly referring to those that deserve to be called pigs). I agree with Godfeat. I just wish there was some other way around these crooked judges. A lot of them are in the same fraternity (you know the one I’m talking about) as the cops so they stick together. IF we stick together, then they would hang high. Don’t forget, there’s more of us than there are of them. It’s really that simple.

Ron Paul is a freemason and his daughters is in the rainbow group, a group only masons can join – but his heart seems to be good and he doesn’t have the mark of the beast, which is a evil looking face and a ball – up – fist thats ready to kill. His has a loving spirit upon him with open arms of understanding. All freemasons can’t be all bad I see.
July 26th, 2008 at 9:51 pm
Tasers didn’t kill him! It was exited delirium! Honest! Agree or we’ll tase you!

WHEN WILL WE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE NAZI PIGS? IT’S BAD ENOUGH OUR CULTURE IS IMMERSED WITH PIGS, ON TV, ON BILLBOARDS “THANK A COP”, ETC. NOW THEY RESORT TO “NON-LETHAL” WEAPONS (FUNNY HOW THEY STILL CALL THEM WEAPONS). PIGS THAT RESORT TO THESE DEVICES ARE COWARDS AND NAZIS. FIND A WAY TO DEFEAT THESE WEAPONS AND USE THEM AGAINST THE NAZI PIGS.
PIGS GET AWAY WITH EVERYTHING AND THE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS WILL COVER FOR THE OPPRESSOR PIG FORCES.
THIS NATION WILL HAVE IT’S 2ND CIVIL WAR. WE’VE BEEN OPPRESSED AND BRUTALIZED WITH NO JUSTICE FOR A LONG WHILE NOW. IT’S TIME TO PREPARE FOR WAR AGAINST THE NAZIS.

WHEN PEOPLE GET DESPERATE ENOUGH…… AND YOU’LL KNOW THE TIME. THE FEELING
THAT WILL COME OVER YOU.
IT’S COMING……THE REALIZATION THAT TIME DOESN’T MATTER ANYMORE. I FEEL IT NOW.
YOU WILL GIVE UP YOUR LIFE FOR A CAUSE. THEN……AND IF YOUR PREPARED TO LEAVE THIS
WORLD……THESE GESTAPO COPS WILL DIE TOO…..ONE BY ONE. THEY THINK THEY ARE HERO’S.
THEY ARE SICK TWISTED FUCKS ……AND THEY NEED TO BE DESTROYED………PERIOD.
