- After misidentifying him as a wanted man, Chicago police shocked a motorist with their Tasers 11 times in four minutes, the man alleges in a federal lawsuit filed Thursday against the city.
Accusing the police of conduct that "amounted to torture" following a May 2010 traffic stop, Chicagoan Josue Tapia on Thursday recalled the intense pain of the Taser shocks, saying, "Every inch of my body was being brutalized, with no explanation why."
And buried at the end of the article?
- Tapia has a prior criminal record, including a conviction on a 2006 charge of aggravated battery on a police officer, for which he served two years of probation, court records show.
So he's got a history of confrontation with law enforcement. Big surprise.
But the even bigger surprise is that...wait for it... the Tribune left the comment sections OPEN as they always seem to do when there is an anti-police story. Never when looking for the community's assistance.
