It's Not Fair!

There are several stories in the media about the police and how often they use their taser "stun" guns. In many of these cases, the incapacitant weapon is unnecessarily used and as a result, the individual being tasered dies. After learning of how many deaths have been caused by this, I find it very disturbing that law enforcement officers are even still allowed to use the conductive energy device. Now, I completely understand that we have some crazy people in this world, I really do. But, at the same time, I feel as though nobody deserves to be killed, no matter how crazy they are or how terrible the crime committed may be. This is absolutely ridiculous and I am very heated about the issue at hand. On top of that, these police officer's are not receiving the proper consequence in return for what they've done. It pisses me off when people take advantage of the authority they have and try to use it to justify their actions. Why aren't these series of events being reported in the mainstream media? This is definitely something that needs to be adressed so we as a people can stand up and do something about it. I don't want to know who Mariah Carey married, how much money 50 Cent makes, or who is wearing what on the red carpet! In my opinion, those things have no importance, what-so-ever. Not when we have more serious issues to direct our attention to.
