The police are asked to respond to a scene where a 16 year old is having an epileptic seizure, and the paramedics are having a hard time controlling him.  The police's idea of an appropriate response is to tase him... 12 times!

He doesn't remember the epileptic seizure he suffered July 18, 2007, when he was 16.

He doesn't remember fighting to keep from being tied to a stretcher or hitting a paramedic.

His brother, Travis Baker, 17, remembers all of it. He recalls screaming at Corinth police to stop shocking Blake with a Taser. His mother, Deana, remembers hearing Travis crying on the telephone.

"He was saying, 'Blake is having a seizure, and they're hurting him,'" she said.

And in case they should forget Blake's experience, they have photographs of 12 separate sets of burns from the double posts of a Taser.

Corinth police did not respond to a message asking for comment about the incident. Corinth city attorney Michael Bucek won't release records because the city expects litigation, he said. He did say there was no internal affairs investigation into the incident.

Emphasis mine... no internal affairs investigation.  No word on whether they'll even be trained again on the appropriate use of a potentially deadly weapon.  Exactly when did we decide that our citizenry could be treated like cattle?
