Teen Yelling "I Want Jesus" Stun Gunned By Police Then Dies
 
.. seems like JESUS wasn't listening ....

Quote:
erseyville, IL (AHN) - Police used a stun gun to subdue a teenager during a confrontation in which the youth repeatedly shouted "I want Jesus." The teen later died.

According to the AP, police in Jerseyville, issued a statement Tuesday saying 17-year-old Roger Holyfield was shot twice Saturday with a police stun gun after he became combative with officers.

The statement said Holyfield, who was carrying a Bible, had failed to acknowledge officers when they fist approached him. Holyfield continued shouting, "I want Jesus," and struggled with officers when they tried to calm him, the statement said.

According to police reports from the incident on Saturday, officers fired the stun gun twice during the confrontation. Holyfield was flown to Cardinal Glennon Hospital in St. Louis, where he died Sunday. An autopsy is planned for Tuesday.

According to the statement, the Jerseyville Police department has been using stun guns for about five months.

The statement also offered condolences to Holyfield's family, but added that there would be no further statements on the matters.

seems like excesive force on the part of the police officers, depending on the output of the stun guns used they could have easily stopped his heart

especially with two shots they don't say if they shot him at the same time or one after another... fucking cops and their power trips

Thinking God is on your side doesn't put you above the law.

Do what an officer tells you to do and these things won't happen.

The police sound very accommodating.

if the kid didn't have a weapon or appear to be going for a weapon there was no need to use a stun gun on him - how many deaths are caused by stun guns anyway? seems like mace or pepper spray with an out of control person should be enough.

Ok ok, i've got two calls here but I'm not sure which one to go with, so low and behold them both!

1) It was "Gods will"
2) Be careful what you wish for!

I hope I never get nailed by one of those stun guns. I know for sure my heart would explode. Seems like they are pretty dangerous to me, especially if they use them on someone with a heart condition.

$1000 says when the toxicity report is released it'll show he was od'd on meth. He didn't die until the following day. Doubt it was the tazar that killed him

This reminds me of an episode of COPS I saw a while back. They get called to a house where a naked guy is running around outside ranting. he's spouting all kinds of biblical crap. Eventually four cops get around him and they move in with one guy on each arm and leg to take him to the ground. Just as they move in the guy locks his arms and legs. They grab him and all of them fall over in a pile. As they are falling the guy yells out, "Don't hurt me, I'm God's boy!"

I laughed for 5 minutes at it.

Depends on how large the guy is. If he's some beefy sumo wrestler sized mofo, pepper spray is just going to set him off, not subdue him.

marketsmart 10-31-2006 05:00 PM
sounds really fucked up ...

DaddyHalbucks 10-31-2006 05:04 PM
Sounds like a lawsuit in the making...

Matt 26z 10-31-2006 06:09 PM
Hopefully this department gets sued for millions and the officer who did this is fired.

Drake 10-31-2006 06:11 PM
He probably had a health condition and was high like others said.

if you have a heart problem, a stun gun can kill you

Sly 10-31-2006 08:07 PM
In case none of you had noticed, the article says absolutely nothing about what the kid was doing. How can anyone say there was undue excessive force without knowing what happened?

The same way you try to point out that there wasn't ....

Easiest way is to do 20 seconds of research:

Quote:
JERSEYVILLE - Police say they are investigating the death of a 17-year-old Dow youth who died after being Tasered at least twice by police during a weekend confrontation.

Authorities said Roger D. Holyfield Jr. died at 8:16 p.m. Sunday at Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital in St. Louis, just one day after Jerseyville police used a Taser, an electric stun device, to subdue him at the intersection of Adams and South State Street.

Jerseyville Police Chief Brad Blackorby remained unavailable for comment Monday but issued a release giving the department's account.

Police officers responded around 8:56 p.m. Saturday to the 600 block of South State Street to find a man holding a Bible and a cordless phone yelling, "I want Jesus!" The subject was later identified as Holyfield.

Officers attempted to speak to Holyfield, but he became combative toward officers and would not respond to verbal commands, police said.

Holyfield was warned several times to stop being combative or risk being Tasered, police said. Even after the device was initially used, Holyfield continued to be combative and rolled around, dislodging the Taser probes. Holyfield continued to resist officers and the Taser was deployed a second time. Holyfield then physically pulled the probes out, police said.

After Jersey Community Hospital's ambulance arrived on the scene, Holyfield began vomiting. Officers assisted the ambulance crew with loading Holyfield and taking him to the hospital. Holyfield became unresponsive while the ambulance crew continued to work on him. He was then flown to Cardinal Glennon in St. Louis, where he died the following night.

The release does not state which police officers were involved in the incident.

News accounts that circulated Monday indicated the youth may have suffered bipolar disorder, but that could not be confirmed.

At least one witness agreed that Holyfield was out of control at the scene.

"He was struggling, he was resisting. They did what they could to hold him down," witness Dustin Lawson told reporters.

A second witness told The Telegraph there were at least four police cars, two Illinois State Police troopers and another man in street clothes surrounding Holyfield.

A third witness said there were more than enough officers there to subdue him without using the shock treatment. He said officers hit Holyfield a number of times during the encounter.

The Taser is a "non-lethal device used to subdue combative suspects," the police press release said. The Jerseyville Police Department has been deploying the Taser for the past five months, and previously the Jersey County Sheriff Department has deployed Tasers in the city for approximately one year. All officers received the required Taser training and were certified for use of the weapon. This included being Tased and witnessing other officers being Tased.

Blackborby's release said an investigation is under way but does not clarify if an outside agency is involved.

Illinois State Police District 18 commander Capt. Tim Reents, based in Litchfield, said his department is not handling the investigation. Neither is State Police District 11 in Collinsville, which houses the public integrity unit, said Lt. Mark Bramlett.

Personnel from the St. Louis City Medical Examiner's Office will conduct an autopsy this morning.

"The city of Jerseyville and the Police Department cannot comment any further at this time," the release said.

Alexander-Gubser Funeral Home in Jerseyville is handling funeral arrangements.

Funeral home director Larry Alexander said Roger Holyfield's family has declined to speak to the media regarding his death.

The victim is believed to have been an only child.

Jersey Community Unit School District 100 Superintendent Jim Whiteside verified that Holyfield was not a student of the school district but had been in the past.

A controversy has arisen over the use of Tasers, an acronym for the Thomas A. Swift Electric Rifle. According to an Associated Press article, Tasers have been either cited as a contributing factor or the cause of death in more than 180 people since 1986.

Tasers deliver a 50,000-volt jolt through two barbed darts (probes) that can penetrate clothing. The shock can be delivered a number of times while the barbs are in place.

Guy screaming about Jesus is not all there . In fact, anybody getting involved in/with religion, is not all there ... Religion is for the weak and deranged.

.. reason why on the death bed, people pray ( while they never did before ) ... they are at the weakest of their ending life ...

Ahh well, he's prolly in a better place than us :mad:
