FBI reviewing Tasering of sleeping man; no charges filed

Two North Braddock police officers won't face criminal charges for Tasering a man who was asleep at home. But the FBI will review the incident for possible civil rights violations.

Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen Zappala Jr. says county police determined Officers Gerard Kraly and Lukas Laeuricia (loo-REE'-see-uh) didn't commit a crime when they Tasered Shawn Hicks, who was sleeping on his couch.

Police came to Hicks home because they were alerted by a silent security alarm at his home about 2 a.m.

Hicks says the officers Tasered him again after he woke up and showed them ID to prove he lived at the home. Hicks' attorney says he will pursue civil action.

Ridiculous.

He was probably dreaming of terrorist activities.

Perhaps he was arrested for a future crime.

I bet they could have given him a wet willy/purple nurple, atomic wedgie and stuck his finger in a glass of warm water and he wouldnt have woken up ..I guess tazers do have uses beyond starring in hilarious youtube videos featuring trigger happy police officers and whiney college students

Who wants to bet money he wasn't a rich white male?

sounds like they were looking for someone to play "tase the suspect for kicks" game that police are so fond of ..and to think back in my day all we got was baton to the groin/head

maybe he slept on his arm funny and when they asked him for identification he couldnt reach for it.

When I was in college I was woken up by a guy who was at my room to fix the internet and I slept on both of my arms so by the time i woke up, I couldnt even move them. The guy asked me to hand him something and I just looked at him with a stupid grin on my face.....god that was hilarious.

God that's ****ing stupid. Police should be held accountable for misuse of the weaponry they're allowed to use when they use it improperly.

As far as I'm concerned both of those shitheads should be charged with felony assault and kicked off the force for being morons.

Oh ****. Do you have a paypal account?

Tasers were originally used as an alternative to firearms in order to prevent unnecessary injury and death, but these days they're being used all over the place where force wouldn't even be used normally.

QFT. So, we just need to screen out the power hungry idiots.

Oh god, should we even start? I'd almost promise that in some areas we'd loose half of the force ... Yoda would be so ultimately pissed.
